| Summary: | The horrible fate of the almost six million Soviet POWs captured by the Germans in World War II—declared defectors and traitors of the Motherland in Stalin’s Order no. 270 of August 1941—was first documented in Christian Streit’s 1978 monograph Keine Kameraden.1Stalin’s Defectors, however, is about the “true” defectors, or at least those who threw in their lot with the Germans for one reason or another. Mark Edele, a historian at the University of Melbourne trained in the United States, Germany, and Russia, builds on his earlier scholarship on the cultural and social history of the Soviet war. |
