War is evil from beginning to end and rape is always part of war.
The women of Berlin were scared of being raped as the Red Army entered the city. But that is not to say the German Army did not rape as it marched north, south, east and west.
After the war it would appear more concentration was given to the literature that wrote about how the Red Army raped.
While the full horror of war rape has never been discovered, in the years following the war more and more people spoke about warring soldiers raping in the occupied lands.
It is significant that writers are now reporting about the raping Russian soldiers in Ukraine.
