New View on the History of the Great Patriotic War

The chapter - two zones of occupation - from the book "Enslavement".

June 22, 1941 German troops invaded the territory of the USSR. Lightning defeated the Red Army and also moved lightly to the interior of the country. This defeat took place not as a result of a decisive battle or several decisive battles, but as a result of bringing the vast masses of Soviet troops into a helpless condition - making them into giant "boilers" in which they were doomed to death together with so many personnel and combat equipment, Which far exceeded the forces of the enemy. This was reminiscent of the situation when a giant mammoth landed in a pit, was completely helpless and defenseless before the ancient hunters, who were beating the giant with stones and spears, while huge forces, terrible tusks and a powerful trunk of the unfortunate were useless. The cadre Soviet army in a short time ceased to exist as such. Some of the personnel died. Part was taken prisoner. Part voluntarily passed to the side of the enemy. The German army occupied the vast territories of the west of the USSR. Part of the civilian population was waiting for the arrival of the Germans. The main part is passive. Part of the population, on the contrary, is very active. In the book of the military historian A.B. Widely-known "Tank War on the Eastern Front", p. 98-99 read: "June 24 ... The 32nd motorized regiment was heading for Lviv, where it was to replace the 8th motorized regiment that was carrying garrison duty in the city." Already for three days there is a war with the invading enemy. There are heavy fights on the SWF, in which our troops can not defeat the enemy and he presses our troops. And then a whole motorized regiment stands idle in the city, carrying a garrison service !? It would seem, why? Yes, then, that the Ukrainian nationalists with the weapon in hands attack the Soviet units.

And then an episode is given: "The 32nd Panzer Division, moving in the afternoon on June 24 from the east through the streets of Lviv, collided with columns of the Soviet mechanized corps, which moved forward. Cork was created, which was used by local nationalists, who constantly bombarded Soviet units from the roofs of houses and attics. From 13 to 24 hours on June 24 in the city there were real street battles with the use of small and sometimes artillery weapons. The nationalists broke into the city prison and released all the prisoners from it, then interrupted the city communications of the headquarters of the 6th Army with the headquarters of the front, raised a real panic among the urban population and part of the army rear services. " This clearly indicates that this part of the population does not accept Soviet power. One part of the population of the Soviet empire - against the Red Army of this empire, if this is not an episode of the continuation of the civil war unleashed by the Bolsheviks back in 1918 against its own people, then - what is it?

The present material repeatedly emphasizes that the communist regime never stopped a civil war with its own people, unleashed by the Bolsheviks more than twenty years ago. This war, took various forms of its manifestation: active on the part of the Soviet power, and basically passive on the part of the masses. Only ten years ago it broke out with renewed vigor. Historians note: "The decree on land, which proclaimed that" landownership is canceled immediately without any ransom, "limited itself, in fact, by legalizing the unauthorized seizure of land from the landowners and kulaks, which had been carried out in the villages since the summer of 1917. Temporarily "sticking" to this independent peasant revolution, which made it easier for them to go to power, the Bolsheviks returned to their program twelve years later. The violent collectivization of the village, the apogee of the struggle between the victors of October and the peasantry, was a tragic resolution of the disagreement of 1917. " (The Black Book of Communism: Crime, Terror, Repression, 95 million victims: Stefan Courtois, Nicolas Woert, Jean-Louis Panne, Andrzej Pachkowski, Karel Bartoszek, Jean-Louis Margolén. "Three Centuries of History." 2001. P.77. ).

The forced collectivization of the vast masses of the peasantry, the accompanying large-scale famine, caused millions of victims, whose relatives and friends now, during the war, were to fight for the power of the Bolsheviks. Naturally, the civil confrontation continued, now in the conditions of war, also taking various forms: from the evasion of servicemen to fight and surrendering them to large masses, ignoring Stalin's calls for a "national guerrilla war", before an armed attack on the enemy side against the Soviet regime .

"Part" of the population was a "national guerrilla movement". This part is so small that it is quoted. The official reports that in 1941, 90 thousand people took part in the partisan movement (240). Is this a lot or a little? As is known, 74.5 million people of the civilian population got into the occupation, 90 thousand of this amount is 0.12%, which obviously does not belong to the category of "national guerrilla movement". Meanwhile, the German army stood at the gates of the capital of our Motherland - Moscow, and the people even "did not move." Despite the Stalinist "compulsion", as well as appeals, and in 1942 the population occupied by the enemy of the territory in the partisans did not rush. In this year 1942, the partisans increased by only 35,000. (241).

35 thousand - the figure is not great, but it also raises doubts, because after the Stalinist order "On the scorched earth", it is unlikely that the population would go to the forest to partisan. Unless only involuntarily, being "homeless", there was nowhere to go ...

On closer inspection, it turns out that these 90 thousand (in 1941), which increased to 125 thousand (in 1942), not all partisans from the occupied population. In the Soviet Military Encyclopedia we read: "Brinsky Anton Petrovich ... since the beginning ... of the war in action." The army is a commissar (isolated by me - V.C.) of the infantry battalion. Once surrounded, the battalion led by B. went to the guerrilla methods of struggle. " Or - in November 1943 the tank brigade of Lieutenant-Colonel D.A. Dragoon was in the ring. "Two decisions were asked: either to leave in the woods the same night, remove weapons from tanks, join the partisans ... or break through the ring of encirclement ... and get out to their own ..." (242). Or, the commander of the 48th Panzer Division, Colonel Yakovlev, tells the commander of the tank battalion Vovchenko: "Your battalion should take Velikie Luki ... If you do not take Velikie Luki, the division must turn into a guerrilla unit." This was in July 1941. (243).

Or - that's about the Third Army of the Western Front, which was surrounded by the Germans at the end of June 1941 near Minsk. "In the following, most of the army's troops fought their way out of the encirclement, and some of its parts remained behind the lines and led partisan actions." (Soviet Military Encyclopedia, Moscow, Military Publishing, 1980. T. 8. P. 106).

The Headquarters of the Army Group Center reported on June 29, 1941 to the Main Command of the Army that in the woods the remains of the broken Soviet units were riddled with battalions and armed, posing a certain danger to the German troops. (V. Beshanov, the tank pogrom of 1941. P. 251)

If in 1943 they continued to fall into the "boilers" of the Red Army unit, then in previous years such "boilers" got a lot of divisions, armies and even whole fronts. They broke through to their own few, the rest perished, were taken prisoner or under the leadership of commissars (they knew that if they were captured the Germans commissars were shot on the spot, if the Germans were not ahead of the Red Army soldiers in this case), they went into the forest to partisan. Most likely, it was these latter contingents that formed the basis of the "all-national guerrilla movement".

In addition, the "partisans" were thrown by thousands in the rear of the front in the rear of the Germans as part of reconnaissance and subversive detachments and groups. Thus, the operational and training center, established at the end of 1941 at the headquarters of the Central Front, prepared and sent to the rear of the enemy more than four thousand different specialists: demolitionists, radio operators, scouts and others. This is the result of the work of only one front and only four months. (244).

In this material, an attempt is made to show the circumstances that, firstly, the guerrilla movement was not popular, and secondly, the guerrilla actions were mainly the remnants of the defeated parts of the Red Army. But even the last was surprisingly small! Why so few? From Soviet military historiography it is known that with the beginning of the process of expelling the Germans from the occupied western regions of the USSR in 1943-1944, about a million former Soviet servicemen were summoned to the Red Army for a second time. This is just the "remnants" of the defeated Soviet troops. They - the servicemen of the Red Army, who swore an oath to the socialist homeland and comrade Stalin to protect them, did not want to go even to the partisans, despite the calls of the leader himself! They should be added to another 500,000 mobilized, who did not have time to enlist in the Red Army, and they also found themselves on the territory seized by the Germans and entered the occupation. (Great Patriotic War, without the neck of secrecy, Moscow. "Veche." 2009. P. 41.). They also did not want to go to the partisans, despite the calls of the Soviet leader.

If the servicemen and the mobilized did not want to go to the partisans, then - what to say about the civilian population ?! With whom, most importantly, with what effectiveness dozens of underground regional committees and hundreds of district committees worked in the territory occupied by the Germans ... ?!

In the book "The Story of an Honorable Miner", p. 145 it is written: "In the first days of the war ... the Donetsk Komsomol members organized a special youth miners' detachment and were asked to send them through the front line to the West of Ukraine to places occupied by the enemy ... The request of the miners was satisfied." Alas, it simply says: "... the Donetsk Komsomol members organized a special youth miners' detachment." And although the detachment "special", "Komsomol" its number is not specified. There are also fundamental points regarding the patriotism of the people in the partisan movement. If we take this "special" detachment, but it was organized by the Komsomol not in the territory occupied by the Germans, but in the territory dominated by the communist Soviet regime. It is clear that patriotism in this Soviet territory was initiated by party bodies. But here you can not see the patriotism of the population occupied by the Germans. Of the population not occupied by the Germans, this is also only Komsomol members. In the Soviet Military Encyclopedia. Military Publishing. USSR Ministry of Defense. 1972. P. 6. P. 230-231: "Based on the instructions of the Central Committee of the CPSU (b) on the coverage by party influence of all the links of the partisan movement, the party committees have done a great deal of work to create clandestine bodies and primary party organizations. Already in 1941, the struggle of Soviet people behind the enemy was led by 18 regional committees, more than 260 district committees, city committees, district committees and other underground organs, a large number of primary party organizations and groups in which there were about 65.5 thousand Communists ... there were more than 2,000 partisan detachments, A total of more than 90 thousand people ... In all the years of the war more than 6,200 partisan detachments and underground groups operated in the rear of the enemy, in which over 1 million partisans and underground members of all the peoples of the USSR fought. " Also in Soviet military historiography it is pointed out that in 1942 the number of partisans increased by 35 thousand people. (Here and further - underlined by me - V.Ch.).

Briefly analyze the above official data.

1. 1. In 1941, there were 90,000 guerrillas and underground workers, of whom 65,500 were members of the Communist Party. Since the Komsomol is a reserve and an assistant to the Communist Party, the remaining 25,000 partisans and underground members of the Komsomol must be the Komsomols. But even if you do not take into account the Komsomol members, it's all the same - where is the national patriotism here? There is no national patriotism in the partisan movement in the territory occupied by the enemy. You can talk about communist guerrilla and underground resistance. (We are not talking about scales). But this is purely a party initiative and a purely party movement.
2. 2. Further. In Soviet historiography, it is said that in 1941, 90,000 people participated in the partisan and underground movement. In 1942, this movement increased by another 35 thousand people. For 1943-1944, there is no information about the number of partisans, it is simply in Soviet historiography that the reader is confronted with the fact that "over 1 million people" participated in the guerrilla movement during the entire war. " This is a very strange patriotic phenomenon: when the socialist homeland was in mortal danger and foreign invaders approached Moscow, the population behind the enemy's rear did not rise to the national guerrilla movement, and in 1942, when the Red Army suffered a series of crushing defeats, it also showed passivity. But when in 1943-1944 the Red Army began the process of expelling the enemy, the guerrilla movement increased dramatically.

The above information is taken from the official Soviet historiography, subjected to thorough censorship by the Central Committee of the CPSU, and not from the office of Martin Bormann.

In the author's interpretation, the reasons for the strangeness of patriotism in the partisan movement in the first and subsequent years of the war (briefly) are the following:

A) A significant part of the population, who fell under the German occupation, welcomed the arrival of the Germans as rescuers from the communist tyranny. But, despite the resistance of the commanders of the army groups to the implementation of the Nazi "racial policy" in relation to the occupied population, such a policy was not only carried out, but most likely, with years escalated. Such commanders of army groups as F. Bock, G. Rundstedt, who were loyal to the population, Hitler simply displaced. (As well as a number of others). Since 1942, Hitler took the power of the Commander-in-Chief, usurping power in the Wehrmacht. It can be reasonably assumed that at first the occupied population, which had recoiled from Stalin, with the implementation of the Nazi "racial program", recoiled with disappointment and from the Germans.

B). In addition, the Red Army began to exert strong pressure on the German army, which led to a grand stalingrad victory, which not only shook Hitler, the Wehrmacht, the people of Germany, but also showed the world, including the occupied population, that the Red Army could really win the war. Her arrival was to be expected. The population feared the brutal, repressive policies of Stalin - this is one of the reasons for increasing the activity of the partisan movement in 1943-1944.

But then in 1941 ... One can reasonably state that the Soviet population of the territories of the Soviet Union occupied by the Germans did not show socialist patriotism and did not constitute a mass popular resistance movement in the most crisis years, despite the fact that the socialist Motherland and the communist regime were in mortal danger. But the 74 million people who fell into the German occupation are passive. The Germans are already near Moscow, the army is crushed, the shabby remains are retreating.

******

Such a picture is a sharp contrast to the actual patriotism of the army and people when Napoleon's army invaded Russia in 1812. Then, in connection with the retreat of the Russian army without a fight, the soldier's mass was on the brink of rebellion - Russian soldiers believed that a decisive battle was not due to treason, and even directly blamed the military leadership. Everyone was eager to fight, disregarding the risk of death. The people's militia, the partisan movement was truly a manifestation of popular patriotism, without any party instructions "from above."

In the book "Heroes and the Battle", Part 2, p. 283 of the author K.K. Abaza is written: "... Following the Smolensk province rose Kaluga, Moscow, Vladimir and Tver. In these places, the exploits of rural partisans were more difficult, because we had to deal with the enemy stronger, better armed and courageous. So the peasants here acted together: they swore an entire village to exterminate the French and stand firm for each other. The slightest obsequiousness to the French was considered a betrayal. "

What is the contrast compared to the Soviet population, which, sometimes even did not admit to their homes the retreating Red Army men! Sometimes, they went out to meet the Germans with bread and salt. Quite a number of military units surrendered as prisoners wholly, often pre-shooting commissars; Sometimes as a whole regiment and even with an orchestra they switched sides to the Germans. According to the Communists, this is a betrayal, but in fact they are episodes of a still ongoing civil war unleashed by the Bolsheviks against their own people 20 years ago and never stopped.

Even more striking are the following facts and figures, which were mentioned above and which we will repeat, in connection with and in the context with the following. During the liberation of the occupied territories by the Soviet troops, mainly during 1943-1944, 939,700 people were recruited into the Red Army again (245). From this it follows that the indicated number of people, which would be enough to form the ten armies, had already been called. Simply put, these are the remnants of the defeated Soviet armies - the remnants of the eloquent! - escaped captivity, remaining to live in the occupied territories, not expressing the desire not only to break through the front line back into the Red Army, but also to go to the partisans, despite the calls of the Soviet leader. The German occupation authorities did not touch them in any way, although these people were of draft age, they too ... For some reason they were not hijacked to Germany either.

To the named value it is necessary to rank another 500 000 people who were mobilized at the very beginning of the war, but they did not manage to enlist in the troops - they found themselves in the territory seized by German troops. They also did not join the partisans, sitting out of the reach of the "organizer and inspirer of victories". (245).

Moreover, a million, according to other sources - one and a half million soldiers and commanders of the Red Army with arms in hand rose against the Soviet power. The latter could be much more, because all Soviet prisoners of war in the amount of 5 million 800 thousand people alien to the Russian people, the Soviet government declared traitors to the motherland, traitors. But even 1 million Vlasovites more symbolize the mass movement against the communist regime than 90,000 "partisans" - for the socialist homeland and the communist regime. 300,000 Cossacks, who stood up with arms in hand against Soviet power on the side of the German Wehrmacht, are also much larger in number than the 90,000 partisans. If 825,000 people of the non-Slavic population with the above-mentioned Cossacks, with arms in the hands of the one rising against Soviet power, are added to this, then a negative picture emerges that is not in favor of the hypocritically named "workers' state", which in effect is a "communist state" headed by the occupation communist "The Order of the Sword Bearers." To me, as the author of this material, of course, accusations of maliciousness on the Soviet government, accusations of anti-Soviet slander will collapse. Yes, it also diminishes the significance of victory. But I do not slander Soviet power, communism, because facts, documents and proof can not be slander! And the communist "Order of the Sword Bearers" was not invented by me, but by Stalin himself, who with his own lips uttered the words in which he compared the VKP (b) with the "Order of Swordmen"! However, long before me in the source - "The Black Book of Communism. Crimes, terror, repression. 95 million victims ". M. Publisher "Three centuries of history." 2001. P. 52, 53 noted: "Antifascism became a prestigious" trademark "for communism, and it was not difficult for them in the name of antifascism to stop the disobedient mouths. Defeated Nazism was determined by the Allied victors as an absolute Evil, which automatically transferred Communism to the camp of Good. " And further: "In this dreary Central Europe it meant only that another night replaced another, Hitler's executioners were replaced by the executioners of Stalin."

I focus on one important moment of ideological, propagandistic nature. How sophisticated Lenin, Stalin, and the ideological bodies of the CPSU (B.), The Politburo, the Central Committee of the CPSU, which for decades introduced the popular masses into consciousness, that this communist, socialist power is their native power, that the socialist Motherland is their true Motherland, the people In the war that broke out, I did not feel the sense of saving the socialist Motherland, which was especially evident among the 74 million people who fell into the German occupation. It will be objected: but the USSR won in this war, that the people who did not fall under the German occupation fought for the Soviet power. Well, Stalin himself said on this score: "The people are fighting, as before, for their country, and not for us." But this is a topic for another conversation. In conclusion, we should only emphasize that the will of the 74 million people, who fell under the German occupation, was clearly expressed. Remaining more than 100 million under the occupation of the communist "Order of the Sword Bearers," they did not tell him to "go away," as Stalin feared. They, as well as, since 1943, mobilized from among the citizens who were under the German occupation, enslaved, brought victory to their enslavers ... And, thank God that Hitler, thanks to his ideological "overshoot," did not allow his generals on the Eastern Front, Raise the "full program," the Soviet occupied population, against the Red Army, against the rest of the Russians and the Soviets! Hitler did not let his generals throw such a "tooth of the Dragon" into the "Russian field", the consequences of which could be many times worse than the Lenin's Dragon's tooth of 1918, which claimed 13 million lives! The Soviet peoples could suffer human losses much more than those that he suffered ... Indeed, God did not give a horn to the bodiless cow! ».

Very interesting is the book of the historian Alexander Kolesnik "General Vlasov - a traitor or a hero?". The very name of this book and not just a writer, but also a professional historian, is symptomatic-we still can not decide who in our country was a hero in the war and who is a traitor. But after all, the Cossacks and Vlasovites fought primarily against the Soviet system, the founders and ideologists of which were the Bolshevik leaders Lenin and Stalin, but not against the Motherland-Russia as such. The 74 million population of the Soviet Union, which was under German occupation, did not want to fight for Stalin and his bloody regime, not because they were traitors to the Motherland, but because they did not want to defend Bolshevism alien to Russia. From this point of view: what is Leninism-Bolshevism and who is Lenin? And Stalin is his follower? What did Rodina-Russia mean to them? Lenin bluntly said that he did not care about Russia. She and her people needed him as a springboard for the spread of Bolshevism-communism to Europe and the whole world. So who is the traitor of the Motherland - Russia (the peoples of the whole USSR) - Lenin and Stalin with the Bolsheviks or the millions of prisoners of war, Cossacks, repressed (innocently ...) and the 74 million people who were thrown by the Communists in the German occupation and who did not want to fight for the bloody regime established on Their homeland internal invaders - Communists?

On November 17, 1941, the Supreme Headquarters of the Supreme Council, headed by Stalin himself, issued Order No. 0428 "On Scorched Land." By this order, the command of the fronts was ordered to destroy populated areas on the territory occupied by the German troops along the entire Soviet-German front to a depth of 40-60 km and on both sides of roads and highways of 30 km each. It was ordered in each regiment to create sabotage groups of 20-30 people and to throw them for this purpose behind the front line. The guerrillas aimed at fulfilling the order No. 0428 "On scorched earth" were also guerrillas, which, by the way, were ordered to interact with the local population in the fight against German troops. And, here Comrade Stalin orders the partisans to burn the homes of this local population. The victim of this Stalinist order was the young Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya. The Soviet leader lost his common sense and reason. The population turned out to be on the territory occupied by the Germans, no less - 74.5 million people. And just populated areas were located in their main mass along roads and highways! The front line did not stand in one place. From November 17, 1941 until the beginning of 1944, it swept the fiery shaft in the reverse order - from Moscow to the western borders of the USSR - for a population of 1/3 of the population of the entire Soviet empire. How many over the years under the order №0428 of the Supreme Headquarters, under the chairmanship of the Soviet General Secretary-tyrant, were the settlements destroyed along with the population ?! It was a massive action to physically destroy its own civilian population! Where there is Lenin, who ordered to destroy the Cossack villages with the residents: women, children, the elderly. But what is the common tendency to physically exterminate our own people from both Soviet leaders? The text of this order is published in the section of the chronology of events for 1941 in the book "1418 days of war". Moscow. Politizdat. 1990. p. 632. I quote it:

"November. 17. Order of the Supreme Headquarters of the SSA No. 0428: in the rear of the German troops to destroy and burn down all settlements at a distance of 40-60 km in depth from the front edge and 20-30 km to the right and left of the roads, use for this purpose aviation, artillery and Mortar fire, teams of scouts, skiers and partisan sabotage groups, create in each regiment a "team of hunters" for 20-30 people. "

Previously, I, naive, believed that "safari" - hunting for animals is inherent in Africa. It turns out that Comrade Stalin here also introduced rationalization. He opened a massive hunt for people - his own subjects! For what, you ask? For the fact that these his submitted, ignored his appeal - to rise on the national struggle against the German invasion army. Judge for yourselves: he clearly stated in his address to the people of July 3, 1941 that millions of people would rise up, and how many had risen? 90 thousand. ("The History of World War II 1939 - 1945. Vol. 4, p. 187). And then, this is according to Soviet data, which no one believes for a long time already.

In this material, the phrase "a brilliant constellation of Soviet generals" was repeated many times, but the names did not open. I fill the gap at least partially. They are listed, headed by the "Generalissimo" in the "Soviet Military Encyclopedia", compiled by the "author's collective" under the editor-in-chief of Marshal of the Soviet Union N.V. Ogarkov. Moscow. Military Publishing. T. 7. with. 511. "Chairman of the Stavka - I.V. Stalin. Members of the Stavka: People's Commissar of Defense S.K. Tymoshenko, members of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the CPSU (b) K.E. Voroshilov, V.M. Molotov, chief of the General Staff, G.K. Zhukov, deputy. People's Commissar of Defense SM. Budenny, People's Commissar of the Navy N.G. Kuznetsov. On July 10, 1941, a new chief of the General Staff, B.M. Shaposhnikov. " (V.Ch. filmed in 1940 for the failure in the Winter War with Finland, and now again returned to the post of chief of the General Staff).

From the memoirs of Marshal A.M. Vasilevsky: "... Throughout the war, strategic decisions, sent to the troops in the form of directives of the Supreme Headquarters, were considered by the Politburo of our Party and the State Defense Committee ..."

One could assume the idea that A.M. Vasilevsky is trying to transfer responsibility from the Stavka to the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the CPSU (B.) And the State Defense Committee. And, although Vasilevsky himself was not a member of the Stavka in 1941, such redirection would be logical. Consequently, co-authors of the order of the Supreme Headquarters of November 17, 1941 No. 0428 "On scorched earth", one can safely include the entire staff of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the CPSU (B.) And the State Defense Committee. But it must be taken into account that in fact these are all the same people - the "organizers and inspirers of victories" under the leadership of the same General Secretary of Stalin.

The reintroduction by Stalin, at the beginning of the unsuccessfully started war of the institution of military commissars (the first time led by Lenin in order to establish ideological Soviet control over the tsarist officers who were recruited or transferred to the Red Army) -this ideological supervisors over the Red Army command staff-testifies not only to distrust They are on the part of the Communist elite. This also shows that the civil war unleashed by Lenin 20 years ago and continued by Stalin during the "peaceful construction of socialism" through forced collectivization, forced industrialization and total militarization, which swallowed up millions of people, is still going on. Now, during the war, with the aim of preserving the occupation communist regime over the Russian and other peoples of the USSR, covered by the slogan of protecting the socialist Motherland, that is, preserving the communist regime.

Fulfilling Stalin's order "On scorched earth", the command of the Red Army, bombed and artillery bombarded settlements in the German-occupied territories, destroying them together with the civilian population. This population consisted mainly of women, children and the elderly, some of whom were probably fathers, mothers and relatives of those who bombed them and fired artillery.

The question of the number of civilian casualties in the territory of the USSR occupied by the Germans as a result of Stalin's order "On Scorched Land" remains open. In the book written by the "team of authors", chaired by Colonel-General Krivosheev G.F. Under the name "Great Patriotic War without the stamp of secrecy", p.48 shows the table number 13, from which it follows that the victims - the civilian population of the USSR during the German occupation was 13 684 692 people. Calculated to the accuracy of one person! This number includes the victims of the draconian Stalin's order "On the scorched earth"? On this account, the "team of authors" keeps quiet. Or is the number of Stalin's victims of this monstrous order No. 0428 attributed to the Germans? As well as the number of burned villages and destroyed cities? Already only one for this number of victims of the German occupation can be accurate to one person. In the same book, in Table 11, it is indicated that the Germans deliberately exterminated the civilian population in the occupied territory - 7.420.379 people. At the same time, the footnote states that this number does not include partisans, whom the Germans considered prisoners of war. "Included" - "not included", the reader does not check it. The Germans - in fact, regarded the guerrillas as prisoners of war, as well as fighters of the fighter battalions and the people's militia, according to the Hague Convention as far back as 1907, which the partisans were assigned to combatants and placed under the protection of international law. Of course, they did not fall under the protection of international law on prisoners of war, because Stalin refused them. But the Soviet military statistics of the perished guerrillas and militia fighters are not included among the losses of the Red Army. They are included in the total demographic losses of the population of the USSR. Only 4,000,000 guerrillas and underground members perished, as evidenced by (or perjured) "Data on those who perished from the atrocities of the German fascist invaders during the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945" (See http://liewar.ru/content/ View / 68/7 /). Why - "perjured"? How can it be that in the presence of all the guerrillas in the number of one million people in the entire war - they lost four million? (Moscow, Military Publishing, 1978). Question: Who is this superfluous written off - three million victims? CPSU wrote off the SS?

And so, with the partisans and soldiers of the people's militia, the following situation developed: they fought alongside the Red Army soldiers on the same battlefields, at the same time, died together, were captured, but the Soviet military statistics were neither soldiers nor He does not consider prisoners of war - he considers it simply a civilian population. G.K. Zhukov says directly that under enemy Leningrad the enemy had to be restrained with the help of "workers' detachments." The website "Military Literature" indicates that Leningrad "selflessly defended 300 thousand militia".

Well, let's say, guerrillas and soldiers of the people's militia are not considered losses of the Armed Forces. This is the loss of the population. But how did they account for statistics: as dead in the Soviet rear or in the German occupation? To the category of deliberately destroyed by the Germans in the occupation are not suitable. To the category that died in the Soviet rear also do not fit. The authors of the mentioned site, the authors of the above-mentioned table number 13, are "in the know", which can not be said about the mass reader. But it seems that they themselves were "hostages" of this uncertainty. Judge for yourself. German documents show that to the east of Kiev in 1941 the Germans captured 655,000 Soviet prisoners of war. Soviet or Russian historians (with Soviet roots) "expose" the Germans in the "additions" to the number of prisoners of war, claiming that before the start of the Kiev defensive operation, the troops of the SWF had a total of 627,000 personnel, of which 150,000 escaped captivity. But the "Soviet roots" modestly keep silent that in the Kiev defensive operation there were also about 500,000 fighters of the fighter battalions, the people's militia and the Kievites who joined the troops.
