  Nacht und Nebel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Soviet Prisoners were held in contempt and distain by the Third Reich: there were constant repetitions of the harms and evils that the Reich felt that the Soviets had wrought on Europe, and the captive soldiers were the representation of this great evil.
