...since so many of them were never heard from again...

Many of them died from maltreatment, and I doubt Stalin would have had many qualms about using former POW's (the war was then over for a couple years) to test nuclear bomb effects. It's entirely conjectural and totally unprovable either way.

Stalin would not have needed to use POWs to determine the effects of radiation from a nuclear bomb blast. The Americans provided more data than you could ever want with Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
My guess is that most of them decided to stay in Russia and vanished into the countryside, or died of malnutrition or abuse.

the reason so many germans were never heard of again was because they died in the gulags. There is no documented evidence of any germans or other groups being used by Stalin in nuclear tests.
