Based on..?

Just a thought here...A while back I watched a movie on German TV that was about a group who escaped a labor camp and made a 1000 mile trek (based on a true event) to freedom..I believe in Austria or somewhere along those lines...Might be that the details are lost to me so don't take it as gospel lol....Any way, that's my first thought comes to mind.

We didn't watch this film. Can you remind the title?

The film is titled THE WAY BACK and its from 2010...My mistake it was India they escaped to from a Siberian Gulag.....On foot.

Mistakin soviet gulag with nazi concetration camp.

Another interesting theme could be about german soldiers taken into gulags. I saw a movie about german soldier who escaped and went back home to his family through wilderness. Sadly I can't remember the name.

It showed that not every german was some fanatical nazi and violent animal but that they were human beings sent into a terrible war away from their loved ones. Very interesting.

Solzhenitsyn wrote quite a bit about escapees from the gulags in the Gulag Archipelago. He recalled how prisoners escaped, what their fates were. Some pretty daring and tragic stories in there.

An easy mistake to make, given how similar those two totalitarian regiemes treated everyone misfortunate enough to fall on their bad side.

I just discovered this game. The trailer looks exactly how I imagined the labor camp in One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich.

Well, if he was not a fanatical nazi it is very likely he'd leave soviet POW camps much earlier than his fanatic or crime comitting fellow nazis.

Main difference of soviet camp from a nazi one is in the little fact - you ought to be a criminal. And unlike in nazi camp idea of which was in exhausting human resources until they die (thats why women, children and elderly were mostly useless, though you could use childrens blood for wounded aryan soldiers for example), soviet camps were about future socialization of criminals into the society. In this case its very adorable that russian developer prefers this topic over escaping a nazi camp for instance. It's so much dissident to support official mainstream propaganda nowadays :)

What a shock, someone called Stalinizator is lying about the slave camps.
The point of the gulags was not socialisation, it was literally about slavery. There was no need to send the Kulaks and their kids on a death march there for "future socialisation", it was LITERALLY to commit genocide.
USSR openly admitted that those former occupants who survived were prohibited from settling in larger cities, so the idea that they were readmitted to society is false.

Even the most modest figures put the death toll at over a million. And that's ONLY the gulags, it doesn't count the genocide the Sovscum carried out on the rest of the people.

Please educate yourself until you no longer lick boot.
