In the Soviet-German war that year, the Soviet Union did not completely occupy the commanding heights of morality. Compared with the German aggression, the atrocities committed by the Soviet Red Army against the people of the German-occupied areas or their own people were even worse. In 1990, the famous feminist activist Herke. Sand and Barbara. The films that Ball co-wrote and directed have generated huge buzz and heated discussions. Sander interviewed many women who had been traumatized by the war, and asked them to tell on camera about their experiences of being gang-raped by the Soviet Red Army. The author writes in the book of the same name: "In 1945, when the 450,000 Red Army attacked Berlin, there were 1.4 million girls and women in the city. From the early summer to the autumn of 1945, 110,000 of these girls and women were attacked by the Red Army soldiers. Rape, 7.4% of the total.… Of these girls and women of reproductive age who were raped, 11,000 were pregnant... The number of girls and women who were raped did not coincide with the number of rapes because 40% of the victims were raped multiple times. . Burning, killing, looting and doing all kinds of evil in the area, such as the Soviet Red Army soldiers who planted the red flag of victory on the roof of the Nazi Reichstag, originally wore two watches, but in the processed news pictures released by TASS, he Wear only one watch, because proletarian warriors do not plunder dead bodies.
Not only that, according to the memories of many German veterans of the year, a large number of Soviet people in the Soviet territory they occupied did not actively resist, but did actively cooperate with the German aggression and took up arms to oppose the Soviet regime. Some of them are people who have lost property due to socialist reforms, and dictatorship targets who have been persecuted by the system for a long time.
Therefore, whenever I see old Soviet films of the Great Patriotic War, it is always difficult to combine the brave and fearless Soviet people with the brutal and indifferent objects in my memory. Although "The Dawn is Quiet" has a distinct institutional brand, it is still a very good work. The film vividly depicts the blooming and beautiful lives, they wither in the smoke of war, sad and beautiful.
