I wouldn't say that, Russia eliminated a great deal of it's Waffen-SS prisoners and systematically starved the regular German army prisoners. Don't forget that out of the 90.000 German soldiers taken prisoner in Stalingrad only 10.000 got back to home alive
Stalin and Hitler had a lot in common in this respect, but their political beliefs were at complete odds with each other.
