The cold barrel of a MP40 was pushed against my head as my fellow Russian comrades surrendered and left the wounded to die. The Russian offensive to Berlin failed, as the Nazi's overpowered them with their strength. I had a profusely bleeding leg and couldn't walk.

The German soldier was yelling at his fellow brethren to put the hundred or so wounded or surrendered soldiers in multiple trucks. By this point, I didn't know if it was better to be dead or be taken to... most likely a labor camp where they would work us to death.

After a few hours, we were parked at some kind of prison out in the woods. There didn't seem to be any roads leading to it, and it was almost pitch black at night, the only light coming from the prison. My hopes for anyone finding us were quickly dashed, I don't even know how the soldiers driving even got here.

The Nazi soldiers quickly took us out of the trucks and put us in the prison. All of us could hear screams of agony from the floor above, showing that this was some kind of torture prison. The soldiers took us to our "cells", which was basically just a mattress on the floor for a bed and a hole in the floor for a toilet, the only thing blocking us from going out of it was a iron door. The battle itself had tired me, so I went to sleep, or tried to, on my "bed".

I laid there, thinking about my loved ones and my family. The only thing they knew is that I was drafted off to protect the motherland, not stuck in a prison or a death camp. I quickly fell asleep a few moments later after those… thoughts.

The next day, all of us were taken to the second floor. My leg was better and healed somewhat by itself, I did have a noticeable limp, though. At the second floor, at the same time, there were… creatures that I… don't even know what they were. Some of them resembled deer with extra horns and legs, tigers with extra teeth and other animals that looked mutated than their original counterparts. The thing is, they all had a dark, shadowy color. What were the Nazi's hiding? The animals were all in steel cages, the cages rusted like they've been used before. A soldier opened one of the cages and...the creature ate him. It was acting like it went berserk, like it was in the same condition we were in once.

The other steel cages were busted open by the creatures inside, and the rest of us ran to the door to the outside world. The soldiers tried to shoot those creatures and us simultaneously, yet it didn't work out for them. The highly injured were left to die, and eaten. The metal doors to outside opened, and we all ran out. We then realized the trucks that took us here were gone, our only option was to run out into the woods. The creatures didn't chase us far into the woods- but most of us split up.

After what felt like an hour of running and walking in the woods- I found a town. I did have to blend in with the people there- my outfit wasn't too different from the citizens, though, so it wasn't too hard. I had never heard anything else about that prison since, but there is one thing I think I know.

Those Nazi bastards won't come back to that hell again.
