Betraying Our Country, Using Their People
In the November 4, 2013 issue, you had a book review of Diana West’s American Betrayal. In it, the United States’ Operation Keelhaul was described as repatriating hundreds of thousands of mostly Red Army prisoners of war and refugees, who were sent to the Soviet gulags.
This review gives the impression that those Stalin demanded be returned to Soviet hands were mostly Russian soldiers who had defected to the West to escape Soviet communism.
This is not entirely true! There were several hundred thousand innocent civilians from communist-occupied countries, who had escaped the brutality of the Soviet communists and had taken refuge in Germany, Austria, and other areas.
