I haven’t noticed it myself, so would be eager to see one such piccie.

Maybe they were working from Henry T. Ford’s sketch-book

Maybe Dresnok and other misshapen Yanks were the only “American” examples they had on hand and they went with Russian faces.

Maybe it’s Jewish, A Listener. I don’t mean to endorse this myself, but if they’ve been influenced by Soviet propaganda, there will be an undercurrent of Jews representing the Other (cf. the Doctors’ Plot).

Great find. It is documents like these, and many others like it which are yet to be made available, which shed more light on history.

I wonder how Bruce Cumings, whose books are an addition of value to the study of modern Korean history (IMO anyway), would have written his first volume (Origins) had this and other documents been available to him at the time he composed those volumes.

And given the Soviets raped women in “liberated” eastern European countries and that they were guilty of an orgy of sexual violence against German women, it is no shock that the Soviet troops entering northern Korea would have done the same against “enemy” civilians (Japanese and Korean women; the Soviets probably didn’t care about distinguishing them).

I know that American is not an ethnicity, however I must admit that many of the American soldiers depicted in DPRK atrocity scenes appear to have Eastern European (Russian) features.

Many Soviet officers – and quite a few NCOs – were mortified at the rape-packs which roamed Germany.
