This is how the German soldiers captured by the Soviets in 1944 were humiliated.

On July 17, 1944, at the height of World War II, Moscow became the stage for a symbolic and deeply humiliating event for Nazi Germany: the “Parade of the Defeated.” On that day, over 57,000 German soldiers captured during Operation Bagration were forced to march through the streets of the Soviet capital under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of citizens. It was a powerful show of Soviet strength and a direct response to years of brutal occupation by the Nazis. Credit to : Der Kommandant English
