Is there an actual history of this sort of thing or is it only from Inglorious Basterds?
That movie makes it feel like a timeless tradition, doesn't it?
I've never seen it anywhere but in that movie (not a historian fwiw). So I'm fairly confident that it's just the Russians being their usual asshole selves.
