Who was the Red Army in Germany and what role did they play? Were they all ethnic Russians or Germans?
The Red Army Group in Germany...I think those were the people about whom your teacher assigned you to write.
Baader-Meinhof Group...they were left wing radical terrorists in Germany, responsible for a multitude of bombings there, mostly during the '70's, but continued on a smaller scale until the end of the Century.

Thanks. My sons great grandfather on his mothers side was in the Red Army. I think this man died in the early 1990s in his 70s.
Now I am totally confused.
Are we talking about the Red Army Faction (RAF) 1970-1978, or some group of Russians fighting with Germany in WW2?? Because if it is the former... great grandfather, what is your son like 2 or something?? Members of the RAF would be just making 70.
the army in question was composed of Russians, Cossacks and other ethnic groups living within the Soviet Union.
See excerpt from General Wladislaw Anders book: Russian Volunteers in the German Wehrmacht in WWII

Hitler entertained the idea of restoring the Russian monarchy...
which I find especially interesting considering since the fall of
the USSR, Russia has restored Tsarist symbols of state.
What happened to the Thaelmann Brigade, the Germans who fought for the Spanish Republic during the Spanish Civil War? They obviously could not go back to Germany. Where did they wind up?

According to Wiki, in Spain.
This is cool a listing of the Veterans or the Talmann Battalion. It appears from their bios the either got interned found a way to get to Britain, or just melted into the resistance movement, but it is also interesting that most (I didn't read every profile) lived out their lives in the GDR (east Germany).
