This article is poorly written.
The link to the soviet comamnder is wrong, the commander rferred to there was the traitor Vlasov who worked FOR the nazis.
I grant a very controversial issue, but we cannot forget that one mans traitor is another mans freedom fighter. Only one unit fought under the true Russian flag in WW2, that of Vlasov's.
Vlasov really worked for nazis, but not at the and of war. It was this Vlasov.
[edit] Lots of facts missing
The article needs rewrite not just because of style, it omits large parts of the uprising and the whole context. The fights over radio were only minor (but popularized in media and books) part of the uprising. Pavel Vozenilek 22:53, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
Well, write about it?
I don´t think that Vlasov was afraid of betreyal from the Czech side. He knew very well that if he stays, the Soviets come and execute him because of his cooperation with Hitler. He had to make his way through Prague clear so he could run away to the West quickly. It did not help him anyways
[edit] only "almost 1,000" Germans killed?

It starts with "A gruesome fate caught up with thousands of wounded in several hospitals. After these hospitals were stormed by the mob, the bed-ridden wounded were shot in their beds. But even those who were able to walk, and who had gone out that day, were lost. Any soldier found by himself was beaten to death or hung. Thousands of wounded who had been rounded up from various hospitals were gathered together at the Scharnhorst barracks, and mowed down by submachine gun fire." and continues in this matter.
Obviously extremally POV site, so it should be double-checked. --HanzoHattori 14:06, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Vlasov executed by Stalin
Was it Stalin who physically put the rope around Vlasov's neck and hanged him? We don't claim Roosevelt executed Eddie Slovik, do we? So what's up with the double standarts? I can agree with saying "Stalin killed..." when it deals with some of the repressed in USSR that were innocent. But Vlasov was a traitor... I will alter this part shortly.
