This isn’t something that I’m interested in debating. They’re both awful and which was worse is subjective.
Subjective is an interesting term. Let's compare some examples.
When the Red Army entered Germany, there were attempts to stop widespread rapes and looting. Unfortunately, these measures were unsuccessful.
When the
Wehrmacht entered the Soviet Union, it actively participated in and approved of civilian massacres at every level.
When the Soviets completed their occupation of Eastern Europe, they created repressive satellite states.
Had the Nazis completed their occupation of Eastern Europe, it would've become a German colony built upon mass graves for the majority of the native population.
An average citizen of a country that became a Soviet satellite would eventually live under an authoritarian government without political freedoms.
An average citizen of a country that became a
Reichskommissariat would become a slave to be worked to death.
In East Germany, Soviet presence was limited to Red Army garrisons in their bases.
In the various
Reichskommissariats, Nazi presence consisted of roving military and paramilitary kill squads, as well as numerous concentration camps.
