Thank you all, I am very interested in Alexander Pylcyn's book. A first-hand account of what it was like in a penal unit sounds very cool.

I will also be looking at tank rider.

Has anyone read Panzer Destroyer? This one seems very interesting as well.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Panzer-Destroyer-Memoirs-Army-Commander/dp/1844159515 - Vasiliy Krysov goes into detail about an incident where three Red Army sergeants raped a 23 year old German woman and got no punishment because "The Germans did it too".

Nikolai Safinov, who was an infantryman in WWII and writes for IRemember.ru: "There were also cases of raping German women. I remember a widely known fact of a group rape when 33 soldiers raped a German woman. There were talks that after that news reached General Kotikov, the chief of the Political Department of the 61st Army, he shook his head especially wondering at those who were at the tail end of the line of rapists. Nevertheless, that criminal case had been dropped." No punishment.

Yurii Koriakin, Rifleman in the 10th Guards Rifle Division: A Politburo officer told him "Well, and concerning the woman question, you can treat the German women rather freely, but so it wouldn't look organized. 1-2 men can go, do what they need (that's exactly what he said: "what they need"), return, and that's all. Any kind of pointless damage to German men and women is inadmissible and will be punished."

"This conversation made us feel that he himself didn't know exactly what norms of behavior should've been followed. Of course, we were all under the influence of propaganda, which didn't differentiate Germans and Hitlerites in those times. That's why I know of a ton of cases when German women were raped, but not killed. Treatment of German women (we almost never saw men) was free, even vengeful. In our regiment the Sergeant Major of the supply company set up practically an entire harem."

This was literally a five minute Google search. You can research the individual accounts yourself; I don't have the time to do so to win an internet argument.
