re: #670 ggt

Those who might have been taught that any woman who shows her face is a “whore”??? and therefore, fair game???

I fear this might be so. Sometimes a person in an “alien” society behaves differently. Let’s not forget what the Soviets did in Germany, those rapes are “legendary” (and in this case “white” people were raping “white” people). Yes, there was one overwhelming factor - an extremely bloody war, revenge. But it doesn’t completely explain the wave of rapes. Moreover, Naimark et al. also write about millions of rapes by Germans in USSR during the war. So again, the “alien” factor may be true.
