Eine schwierige Mission Vol. 5 (German Edition)

Shukhevych, as an individual, had the right to collaborate with the [German military] intelligence. We cannot overlook that episode, but we also need evaluate the goals he set up for himself. That goal was one — the formation of an armed formation, which could become the kernel of a Ukrainian army.

Very many of the officers of the Nachtigall later became commanders of the upa. And why did France and Britain have the right to collaborate with Germany during —, why did the Soviet Union have the right to collaborate with Germany during —? Even Churchill made compromises with one evil in order to fight the other. Did [Shukhevych] have the right to collaborate with evil Germany? In order to answer that question we again need to evaluate the situation not from the perspective of , or even , but only , when that decision was made. However, for us the German army is synonymous with millions of victims.

Yet, in this all laid in the future. However, if there are no documents, then it will be difficult to prove that Shukhevych did not participate in such actions. Again, there is a presumption of guilt. In Belarus the st Ukrainian battalion was not concentrated in one place, as it was protecting bridges over the rivers Biarezina and Dzvina. The detachments in the small villages were also assigned to protect the local German administration. On December 1, the soldiers of the battalion refused to renew the contract with the Germans, which led to the arrest of many of them, particularly their leaders.

Others, including Roman Shukhevych, were able to escape. All together, many soldiers of the battalion joined the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, where they, as well-prepared soldiers, chose to take up commanding positions.

In the functions of that army, defending the Ukrainian population, they fought honorably against their former allies, the Germans. Roman Shukhevych commanded soldiers. The Wehrmacht , at that time, close to half a million. To turn the weapons against the Wehrmacht in and tell them: When the contract ended, those people declared: That decision cost many of them their lives.

They say that after , Shukhevych fought against Belarusian partisans and Poles? The Schutzmannschaft battalion, in which the former Nachtigall members, among them Shukhevych, served, ended its activities in the end of After that the majority of the boys joined the ranks of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army.

And anyway, what partisans were there in in Belarus? Vasil Bykau writes, that there were….

See a Problem?

Vasil Bykau was a novelist. The documents show that there were special groups, created under the leadership of the nkvd , who infiltrated and carried out acts of sabotage behind the German lines. To call them partisans is difficult, since partisans are rebels, organized by the local population.

As a historian, can you say that Shukhevych did not participate in [anti-]Jewish pogroms? Likewise, can you say that Shukhevych did not participate in the killing of peaceful Belarusian and Polish civilians? Very interesting question regarding peaceful population during partisan warfare.

Is it possible to consider Poles or Belarusians a peaceful population, if they at day time work as ordinary villagers, but in the evening arm themselves and attack the village? How should they be regarded — as Polish or Ukrainian [soldiers]? With a machine gun — he is a soldier, with a hoe — a peaceful civilian? When such a person is killed in an armed conflict, should he be regarded as a killed civilian or as a military casualty?

They had entrusted its protection to members of the oun. In regards to the st battalion, scholars and publicists of diametrically opposed ideological perspectives agree that it did not rush into battle, but at times reached a neutrality agreement with the partisans Shukhevych, in particular, was interested in such an agreement , though, without doubt, there were battles with victims on both sides.

The Union of Young Officers, which under the leadership of Gamal Abdel Nasser fought for the independence of Egypt against the English, received assistance from Mussolini. That cooperation did not discredit Nasser [in the eyes of the Soviets] who, after becoming president of Egypt, received the order of Hero of the Soviet Union! Nachtigall , together with Roland , formed the Schutzmannschaft Battalion , which fought partisans in Belarus. Is it correct that Roman Shukhevych on October 14, , did not desert from the battalion, but was assigned the task to track down Jews, hiding in Belarusian and Ukrainian forests?

The dissolution of the battalion began in the fall of Are you an author?
