Soviet prisoners of war were targeted during the Holocaust primarily due to the Nazis' ideological beliefs and military objectives. The Nazis viewed Soviet soldiers as subhuman and enemies of the Aryan race, leading to widespread executions and brutal treatment in camps. Additionally, the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941 was motivated by a desire for lebensraum (living space) and the eradication of communism, further fueling the atrocities against Soviet POWs. This resulted in the deaths of millions through execution, starvation, and forced labor.
