What do we know about sexual violence against men during the Soviet occupation of Germany?

I've always known about the rape of women. I'm curious about the rape of men during this time.

We know that it happened, but not much about its nature or extent. Miriam Gebhardt describes one such case in Als die Soldaten kamen. A couple of others came forward in old age to PTSD researchers.

The rape of men took place in the German, U.S. and British armed forces; in concentration camps; in ghettos; and in "survival sex" situations during and after the Second World War. There's no reason to believe that it was any less prevalent in the SBZ.
