At the end of the war a number of people were tried for high treason . These included members of the Waffen-SS British Free Corps and William Joyce ( Lord Haw-Haw ) . As agreed at the Yalta Conference , the British handed back many Soviet citizens to the Soviet regime . Some of these were collaborators who had fought in the Russian Liberation Army . In later years there would be a controversy because some of those handed over were White Russians who had never been Soviet citizens . Yugoslavs were handed over to Josip Broz Tito 's forces , and many were subsequently left alive
