German soldiers captured by the Soviet Union during World War II faced harsh conditions and treatment. Many were subjected to forced labor, starvation, and brutal living circumstances in Soviet POW camps. A significant number did not survive their captivity, with estimates suggesting that around 1.5 million German soldiers died in Soviet custody. Those who were released often faced long-term psychological and physical consequences from their experiences.
