I’m reading Antony Beevor’s history of the Second World War and in it he relates the sexual violence conducted by Red Army soldiers during their advance into Eastern Germany in late 1944 and 1945.

The accounts of this violence are horrifying but Beevor never makes mention of female Red Army soldiers and their part in these atrocities.

Is there any record of female Soviet soldiers being complicit in the sexual violence against German women and girls during this period?
