3,060,000 German military personnel were taken prisoner by the USSR and that 1,094,250 died in captivity (549,360 from 1941 to April 1945; 542,911 from May 1945 to June 1950 and 1,979 from July 1950 to 1955).[4]
You forget that Germans were allies of Soviet Union in the beginning.
What? No. Is this more Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact nonsene? If the USSR and Germany were allies because of a non-aggression pact, then so were many other Allied states allies of Germany. The USSR signed that pact to buy itself time to build up their war capacity, knowing that Germany was likely to eventually try to invade. The Nazis came to power as virulent anticommunists, as fascists always are, because fascist movements are always funded by the capitalist class.
To characterize a communist state and an anticommunist state as “allies” is absurd. Two states can’t be more at odds with each other than that.
Soviets trained Nazi tank and artillery crew and provided them place for military training
That all ended before or just as the Nazis seized control the German state. So no, they didn’t train Nazis, because the military wasn’t a Nazi one yet.

Lol. No, it’s only the public part. Germans disclosed the secret part which clearly stated what I said.

Soviets trained Nazi tank and artillery crew and provided them place for military training in times when they were forbidden to have heavy arms.

It’s a basic history material from the secondary school maybe
