It's war and even the women were raped or constantly nearly raped...or so they imply.
The Red Army has a certain - *ahem* "reputation" in that area. Ask the German girls and women who were aged 8 to ~60 in 1945, particularly in the Eastern half of the country.

Conquering armies have a long history of doing that except for the U.S.
Mohammed put it in his book. Gengus Kahn preached it. So did the Romans. The English did it to Scotland, Wales and Ireland. Ivan The Terrible was renowned for having his armies rape and pillage. But so were several German armies including Hitler's Third Reicht.
War is brutal on the women of invaded countries. Ask the Italians what the Moors did to their women ... a story made famous between Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken in True Romance. Spain suffered even worse under Moorish rule.

The Red Army wasn’t the only one. The other Allied armies raped quite a few women as well though probably not at the rates the Russians did.

No you weren’t, I was a kid in the mid 90’s early 2000’s (born in ‘89).
And I was locked out my house till sundown all the time, played fake war games all over the neighborhood, spent days fishing or shooting doves with pellet guns, running around without shoes, playing tackle football, hitting each other with sticks etc...
Difference is at night we’d come home and stay up all night playing video games, wake up and do it all again.
Seems like my childhood was even better than yours you old frick!

Yeah but it was weird to play video games all day in the 80's.
A ton of people didn't even have Atari.
What an Atari cost in 1980 is like $800-$1,000 today.
Computers were like $5,000.
If you have Atari in the early 80's - you were pretty well off. And it took until 1988 for Nintendo to really take off.
We played war games in the woods - A-Team guns and homemade bow and arrows. You'd invite friends over and all you thought about was playing war games. BB gun wars were also popular. Nobody wore eyemasks or helmets. Bow and Arrow was sharpened sticks.
I would say 80's kids were the last outdoor generation...that started the indoor generation of entertainment that changed people.

We played outside at night, too. We didn't have video games to babysit us. When we did have to come inside, we read books, played board games, watched TV (very little), or otherwise interacted socially with other human beings. I feel so deprived. Woe unto me.

Born in 90. We used to do it. Had airsoft pistols too, you can't say that
