Supposedly quite a few GI’s with training in Communications and other high skills were kidnapped by the NKVD and then abandoned by the brass. Quite a few German POWs that were interviewed by us. Told of seeing American Prisoners in their former Gulag’s & Prison Camps.
Also almost all the Russian Troops that worked with the Americans were imprisoned. For the “Crime” of being exposed to Western Troops and ideas. All in all this operation was just another example of the saying. Sometimes a Good Idea should stay a Good Idea. For more information look up Operation Frantic om Wikipedia. Grumpy
