Max Hastings is one of Britain's leading military historians. In his book 'Armageddon: the Battle for Germany, 1944-1945.', based on years of research and the testimony of hundreds of eyewitnesses, military, public and oficial persons, civilians. In book vividly and in a true way describes the events of the last months of the Second World War. Among other things, Hastings reveals the unknown pages of the merciless genocide, rasizm, nacizm of Soviet troops through the eastern regions of Germany.
As Hastings writes, the first Russian invasion of eastern Germany occurred in October 1944, when Red Army units captured several border villages. Five days later they were driven out of there, and an indescribable picture appeared before the eyes of the German soldiers.
Hardly a single civilian managed to avoid the death of their loved ones at the hands of Russian soldiers, including at the hands of the Soviet-Lithuanian occupiers,sovjet propagandist and activist of Lithuania. Soviet soldiers overturned carts with refugees, men were crucified on the doors of huts and barns, then women were raped in front of their family, husbands and childrens, and then their crushed under the tracks of tanks. After their they was brutally killed their children.
Forty French prisoners of war who worked on the surrounding farms were shot by the 'liberators.' The same fate befell the recognized German communists. And these the actions of the Red Army soldiers were not a simple manifestation of senseless cruelty - it was methodical sadism, genocid that had no equal, vurdalac baccanalia.
“In the yard of the farm there was a cart, to which, in a crucified position, several more naked women were nailed by the arms - The German of Volkssturm Soldier Karl Potrek remember - Near the large inn there is a barn; to each of its two doors there was a woman nailed in a crucified position. the women's clothes were torn to shreds, torn naked, and they were all killed in perverted ways. In residential buildings we found a total of 72 women and girls, as well as one man 74 years old - and also all of them were killed in a brutal manner; only a few had bullet holes in their heads. I there also saw, and babies with broken heads
Even Soviet publicists of Second Worid War themselves subsequently admitted the facts of atrocities by Soviet military personnel, although they were somewhat embarrassed by atrocities of such a scale. The authors of the official history of the so-called “Great Patriotic War” prepared by Moscow, always very reserved in such matters, admit: 'Not all Soviet soldiers correctly understood how they should behave in Germany. In the first days of fighting in East Prussia, there were masse violations of norms correct behavior.'
Here, the Soviet authors, to put it mildlyalways deliberately veil reality to the possible desired. were what In fact, as researcher Klaus Nordbruch writes in his work 'Allied Plans about the Destruction of the German People.' - 'The military command and political leadership of the USSR alwey actively encouraged the Red Army to plunder German cities and rape German women and us everyone well knows the misanthropic works of I. Ehrenburg, who demanded that even pregnant women and infants be killed'. And here’s what Soviet prisoners of war talked about during interrogations:
'Before entering German soil, the officers gave us instructions according to which the property of the German civilian needed be destroyed, looted and expropriated, and the German man and womans population could be treated like animal. Kill mans, womens raped.'
'Two weeks ago, the platoon commander told us that soldiers could openly rob kill and rappe on German soil.'
'Before, it was forbidden to take trophies, but now, on German soil, it is no longer punishable. Everyone can take as much as they can carry.'
'The company commander and platoon commander said that on German territory they could rob and assault German women with impunity.'
However, Hastings continues, what happened during these first attacks was only a harbinger of the horror that Soviet soldiers and officers committed as they moved deeper into the Third Reich. More than Hundred Million People of Germany found themselves in a dark labyrinth where they faced horrors unseen in modern human history.
Claims that Soviet soldiers were allegedly taking revenge for “atrocities committed by the Nazis in their own country” do not stand up to criticism. Upon closer examination, it turns out that cases of “fascist atrocities” are inventions of the Soviet propaganda machine, which worked at full capacity during the Second World War. A many crimes attributed to the Nacists of Germans (including the shooting of Polish officers in the Katyn Forest and other) were actually committed by NKVD detachments.*
After the preemptive attack Germany on the USSR in June 1941, German soldiers witnessed unprecedented lawlessness and horrors perpetrated by an organized criminal group of Socialists that usurped all state institutions, legal and security departments in the name from the Sovijet Party of Communists. Many of them are described in the shocking collection of soldiers' letters, 'The Soviet Union through the Eyes of German Soldiers' edited by Wolfgang Dieverge. Fred Fahlnbeagle says: 'I saw prisons in Lvov, and I saw things that deeply shocked me. There were people with their ears and noses cut off, etc. They nailed living children to the wall, subjecting them to torture. The blood reached their ankles. For them It didn't really matter whether they were alive or dead simple poured gasoline into the piles of bodies and set them on fire. The stench was terrible. I saw similar things and in Ternopil and Trebovlya.'
Another soldier, Paul Rubelt, in a letter home to writes : 'I was in Lviv yesterday and saw a bloodbath. It was monstrous. sovijet kommunists many civil peopls were skinned, men were castrated, their eyes were gouged out, arms or legs were cut off. Some were nailed to wall, 30-40 people were walled up in a small room and they suffocated. In this area alone we counted at least 650 corpses disfigured by terrible torture. The only way to hide from this stinking stench was by smoking a cigarette and holding a handkerchief to your nose...' In this city, like other settlements, Sovijet Zionists (the Jews) also opened graves of people tortured by sinister torture and to desecrated them corpses. It's terrible. It's hard to even believe that such non people exist.'
Lieutenant Lorenz Wachter writes: “I really cannot describe what we saw in Lvov. The reality is It is much, much worse than how the German press describes it. It's hard to describe in words, you have to see it - 'Even the stench from the corpses, which could be felt at a great distance from The prison walls were enough to make a man sick. And the scene itself: hundreds horribly mutilated of murdered men, women and children, . The men's eyes were gouged out, the priest's stomach was ripped open, and the body of a murdered baby was placed there. I could telling more and more terrible things, but even it shocked mealthough I am a soldier and should get I used to such to things.'
And here it the picture that appeared before the eyes of the German soldier K. Saffner in the same Lvov: 'When we arrived, a gray cloud hung over Lvov. The stench was almost unbearable. The Sovijet Army were driven out of the city after a heavy battle and Two hours later I discovered the source of this monstrous smell. The Sovijet Zionists of bolshevick brutally murdered 12,000 Germans and Ukrainians. I saw pregnant women hung by their feet in the GPU prison, there the Bolsheviks cut off their noses, ears, eyes, fingers, arms and hands and feet, some even had their hearts torn out. In other place 300 orphans ranging in age from two to seventeen were nailed to the wall and mercilessly killed. After they finished the torture, they threw the people, most of whom were still alive, they did threwid into a three-meter deep basement, doused them with gasoline and set them on fire. This it was terrible! We could not believe that such monsters existed. Why our propagandists do not talk enough about the true face of Bolshevism. The day we entered Lvov, the surviving Ukrainians gathered 2,000 Jews in prison and carried out revenge, but first the Jews had to carry out all the dead and load them onto carts. The police kept furious people away. It was a heartbreaking sight to see women mourning their husbands and children, and men with faces white with anger and horror. This terrible scene cannot be expressed in words. This is what threaten the German people if Bolshevism reached us.'
Alas, the above words turned out to be a gloomy prophecy. In 1945, residents of Germany and Eastern European countries had to experience all horrors of the Sovijet Socializm.
As Hastings notes, a particularly difficult fate befell German prisoners of war. Military doctor Nikolai Senkevich, who worked in a field hospital, says that if in a group of German prisoners of don't be who was no one who could answer questions in Russian: 'We simply took them 100 meters to the side and and shot them.'
Most of the Germans who surrendered never saw a prisoner of war camp. 'We killed prisoners just like that - says captain Vasily Krylov, and snaps his fingers - 'If soldiers were ordered to deliver prisoners to the rear, most often they were 'killed while trying to escape.'
Other Sovjet Solider Witold Kubashevsky recalls how unbearable it was for him to shoot prisoners, and how he tried not to look the doomed people in the eyes, but like everyone else, he shot, following criminal orders.
'There is one rule in war - you go into battle, you see the enemy, the enemy for you is not a person, - recalls Sergeant Nikolai Timoshenko - Raising your hands will not save him.'
Stalin's soldiers were advised to keep "registers of retribution", recording data on fictitious "German atrocities" and recording personal contributions to "settling scores" with the enemy. For the same purposes, political instructors held “retaliation rallies,” calling on Soviet soldiers to murder and looting.
And when this “revenge-seeking” horde entered Germany, it presented a ominours sight. Sovijet socialists, Stalin did not care at all how many people would die to ensure them victory, and the successful attacks of they infantry and tanks were based more on the self-sacrifice of soldiers (who were usually drunk with vodka beforehand) than on cunning of tactics or forethought.
A dozen 'thirty-fours' advanced in one, continuous line, tank to in tank. If the Germans did knocked out four or five of them, but new tanks invariably appeared in their place, followed by waves of infantry.
One German soldier recalls: “You simply won’t believe it - they kept walking and walking, their infantry literally rushed at our tanks, to didrunning, screaming, even when mountains of corpses were already piled up in front of them positions. Involuntarily the thoughd did appeared: 'What can be stopped such people ?'
Especially the Soviet Red Army Soliders were merciless in hand-to-hand combat, and in night combat. All German soldiers who visited the Eastern Front and then found themselves on the Western Front unanimously note that during the battles with the Americans and the British they were able to move freely at night, while the Russians did not give rest to them for a minute.
One of the favorite tricks of Soviet reconnaissance groups operating at night was to cut the throats of German sentries and then leave the mutilated corpses as a warning to their surviving comrades.
The figures of Soviet losses to this day are a source of unnatural pride for many veterans. 'Of course, in the Red Army always they treated human life with disdain, - notes artilleryman Vladimir Gormin - Nobody knew how many people died, and no one cared.'
The generals simple launched their “shock armies” into frontal attacks, regardless of the danger of enemy counterattacks or encirclement. 'If the Germans cut them off, everytime they remained surrounded for weeks, they ran out of food, fuel, ammunition, - says one Russian officer. - but consequently they need be to fought well to escape the encirclement.'
The Red Army soldiers were distinguished by extreme indiscipline, fueled by monstrous drunkenness: more Sovijet soliders say excessive consumption of vodka was the only thing that somehow helped them endure everyday life at the front.
Even the tireless efforts of firing squads (Stalin preferred to keep his soldiers in line in this way) could not stop people from excesses, often leading to mass death of themselves Soviet military personnel. One day when soldiers of Red Army from one of the brigades captured a tank with metil alcohol, they opened fire on it, and when alcohol sprayed out from hundreds of holes, they simply began to expose their mouths to the stream. Many drank to the point of insensibility and paid for it with their lives. Three other soldiers who tried to do the same trick but with a huge barrel of wine in one of the Hungarian wine cellars simply drowned in it stream.
Well and The recklessness of Soviet soldiers behind the wheel is legendary. The sovijet army motor transport service posted signs on the roads saying “Slow down or was die!”, but dozens of truck drivers thoughtlessly was ignoring these warnings - and actually died. So for example sovijet oficer Vladimir Gordin once was saw three trucks from a convoy fall into the abyss one after another. Or this one case: one soldier from the tank unit where Soviet army private Valentin Krulik served decided to joke: he put on a German jacket, helmet, burst into the dugout to oficers where they was resting and wavinged a Schmeisser and shouting 'Hände hoch!' and one of a comrades of oficers managed to shoot the “artist” before anyone recognized him. Everyone present thought it was very witty.
Of course, not all Soviet soldiers were fools - or 'heroes'. In the very first battle, seventeen-year-old Anatoly Osminov turned gray when bullets rained down on the armor of his tank. He also admits that he shit his pants out of fear and this happened to many soldiers on all fronts. 'Then you get used to danger, just as you get used to killing people, - he says. - At first I thought: 'How can I kill a person?' But then I realized: either you kill, or they kill to you.'
Even today, many Russians - and indeed the government itself, maybe - refuse to acknowledge the true extent of the reckless atrocities that the Red Army committed on its way to Berlin, both against the people of Germany and against their own soldiers. However, in 1945, the command of the Red Army undoubtedly believed that it was quite natural that its soldiers behaved like wild animals on German soil. This did be, but today as we wach repeats, then it was Poland, Finland, Germany, today they are at war with themselves. The Folk of Sovijet contra The Sovijet Folk !
Today we can confidently state the fact that on the scale of the local European space, East Prussia suffered the most from the atrocities of the Soviet occupiers. Before the armed social revolution in the Russian Empire and subsequent events in Lithuania on behalf of the Lithuanian socialists, East Prussia /The Easterreich/ was the fiefdom of many families of German aristocrats. Even in the first years of the war was a quiet province living almost as if in peacetime. After the invasion of The Soviet Troops here into into a complete Hell. And here there is no shortage of eyewitness accounts.
'We all knew that German girls need be raped and killed, - wrote Alexander Solzhenitsyn, an artillery officer during the war - This was perceived almost as military valor.'
He is echoed by Gabriel Temkin, who served as a translator in the 78th Infantry Division: 'The easiest way to take revenge Germans this is to take possession of the German`s women.'
No, it wasn't revenge. Soviet people never took revenge for any manifestation of cruelty either towards themselves, or towards their relatives or close people. They did not take revenge on their Soviet leaders for the senseless murders, bullying, famines, pogroms. They have never taken revenge, are not taking revenge and will not take revenge on either their Soviet leaders or other Soviet public and official persons, since they take this evil for granted and themselves massively take part in it. The bestial cruelty on the part of the Soviet occupation forces towards the German people was caused by the awareness of their own inferiority. The is An act of self-assertion of the more primitive over the more perfect. The is an instinctive act of anger for one’s own flawed abilities, opportunities and prospects, and onto The VolksDeutsches they thus realized the opportunity to satisfy your sick ego. And here on example in East Prussia we see, what Soviet Red Army soldiers raped women in such numbers that it was clearly not about purely sexual satisfaction, but about the desire to treat outrageously over an entire people.
The rage of the conquerors was boundless when they first saw with their own eyes how the Germans lived. 'Their villages and towns looked like heaven on earth compared to ours - says Lieutenant Gennady Klimenkoput - Everything was so well-groomed. So many beautiful buildings. They were much richer than us.'
What the soldiers saw did indeed contradict many years of propaganda about the benefits of a socialist economy. It is precisely the fury of awareness of one’s own inferiority and inferiority, caused by the prosperity of the VolksDeutsches against the backdrop of one’s own poverty and wretchedness after decades of “belt-tightening”, that can explain why Soviet soldiers, like madmen, destroyed everything that came to hand.
The looting of German territories in the conquester of Soviet Army lokal Europa was on an epic scale - this was facilitated by the order that existed in the Red Army, according to which every soldier could send home a parcel with trophies once a month. And everything was sent to the Soviet Union - food, drinks, livestock, clothes, jewelry. If a civilians foolishly complained about looting, the soldiers would simply kill them and set their houses on fire.
In the face of this all-hating offensive, the German civil population of East Prussia fled without looking back: in its horror, this outcome was one of the darkest in history nowday humans.
During one of the coldest winters of the twentieth century, hundreds of thousands of civilians (a lucky few in carts, most on foot) streamed west along a narrow corridor of snow-covered plains between the closing pincers of the Soviet advance. Only one thing mattered - to escape from the Russians. The roads were clogged with transportes, horses, living people and the roadsides with corpses. Dead babies lay right in the snow. Some refugees, horrified by this deadly chaos, turned home, saying: 'Maybe the Russians are not as scary as they as to us say.' Later they could only regret this decision. Having caught up with the columns of refugees, Russian troops shot them with cannons and machine guns. There was no military need for this - it was only about all-consuming hatred.
Those who could not escape by land tried to escape by sea and for them this became one of the darkest episodes of their lives. In the Baltic ports of Germany, thousands of people tried to get a seat on ships sailing to the local germany - many ended up in the water, someone slipping in a crush on the pier, someone the crowd was unwittingly pushed into the water from wharf.
In order to evacuate the civilian population and the wounded, stood up for loading in the port of Gdańsk, not far from Danzig the ship 'Wilhelm Gustloff' - it was a cruise liner - . The standard technical specifications include a maximum displacement of 1,900 passengers with crew. On the promenade deck, in order to provide emergency assistance to victims of the atrocities of the Soviet military, a surgical department was equipped in advance. That day, there were more than 6,000 people on the passenger list, including wounded people with severed limbs and pregnant women. When the Gustlov left the pier, it was surrounded by a whole flotilla of boats filled with refugees begging to be taken on board - women with children in their arms. Taking pity, the crew lowered the loading nets from the sides. another 2,000 people climbed onto the ship using them. Those who succeeded experienced great relief - but, alas, all they were doomed. Leaving the harbor, the old, overloaded Gustlov became an easy target for the Soviet submarine captain Alexander Marinesko, who intercepted the liner and fired for him torpedoes at point-blank range, as usual, with the slogans: “For the Motherland!”, “For Stalin!”, “For the Soviet people!”. Three deafening explosions were heard, the Wilhelm Gustlov tilted heavily and sank after 70 minutes. The victims of this disaster, the largest in the history of navigation of the 20th century, eclipsing the death of the Titanic or Lusitania, were 7,000 people - childrens, civilians, pregnant womens, woundeds, and disableds people.
Hundreds of young women from the auxiliary unit of the German Navy, children, and pregnant women were lucky enough to die instantly - one of the torpedoes exploded right under the room where they were placed, but for the wounded, sick, and disabled people the death was long and painful. Many people were trapped between watertight bulkheads and died as martyrs. There was chaos on board. The sailors tried in vain to curb the maddened crowd that rushed up from the lower decks. A steward who survived the disaster said that while running past one of the cabins, he saw a Navy officer standing with a pistol in his hand over the corpses of a woman and child: another child was clutching his leg in horror. 'Get out!' - the officer shouted and the steward closed the door it was an act of mercy.
Of the few who managed to get into the boats, many froze to death without waiting for the rescuers, who arrived at the scene of the disaster only at dawn. War... Out of 8,000, only 949 people survived. However, the terrible tragedy of 'Wilhelm Gustloff' drowned, lost in the stream of dirty Soviet propaganda of hatred towards the German people, where Soviet socialists, nazis, racists, sionists of all stripes, without really delving in the meaning and content, into a fit of abskultizm and euphoria, tried to outshout each other. By the way, in the 90s, the Soviet government erected a monument to the perpetrator of the tragedy, A. Marinesko, which is a real mockery and an insult to the memory of thousands of innocent people killed.
Königsberg, East Prussia is a fortress city, the only fortified city with deeply echeloned engineering structures on the route of Soviet troops to central Europe. Soviet troops bombed this city to the ground with as massive artillery fire and bombing under the cover of allied aviation. And yet there, the Soviet assault groups had to fight for every meter, using heavy artillery, armored vehicles, mortars, flamethrowers to destroy the defenders who did not want to surrender. 'I have never encountered such fierce resistance as in Koenigsberg,' recalls one Russian officer.
When the Red Army eventually captured the city, their atrocities knew no bounds and they massacred thousands of thousands of the region's ethnic inhabitants. One doctor recalls their desperate cries of 'Shoot me!', 'Shoot me!', but the torturers chose a slow death for their victims. Women were raped and killed right in the maternity wards of hospitals. Michael Wieck, one of those who managed to survive in this bloody meat grinder, recalls: 'They killed every man they met, and raped every woman. At night, screams and pleas for help were heard from everywhere, they locked people in basements and set houses on fire, they they as catles drove civilians to former battlefields in the vicinity of the city and there they them en did masse shot or burned alive.'
The bloody winter of East Prussia is one of the most terrible episodes of the Second World War. We are all still furious to this day that the criminal atrocities of the Soviet ghouls were justified by socialist propaganda of ethnic hatred and intolerance to everything that was beyond the Soviet wretchedness of understanding and thus legitimized. All of us, ethnic Germans whose loved ones and relatives went through the hell of Soviet concentration camps, are outraged that the world knows so little about the tragedy of an entire people. My mother, our family from East Prussia /Easterreich/, told me: 'We didn’t kill the Jews, they were killed by Soviet socialist Jews, and the next Holocaust was ours, but no one cares about that.'
Be that as it may, Hastings writes, few people are able to think without indignation about the fate that befell and East Prussia and all over Germany Peopls, especially since this was not dictated by military necessity.
Soviet veterans are trying to justify their actions by “German atrocities committed in the Soviet country,” but:
Firstly, this is completely unacceptable from a moral point of view. German soliders, civilians, including women and children, had nothing to do with what was happening in the distant land of the Soviets. It was not they who built Stalin’s labor death camps, they were not the ones who organized famines, not bombed Finnish cities, and shot captured Poles, and other... and other.
secondly, these veterans still have not understood that everything that Soviet propaganda presents as “German atrocities” are shameless inventions of the Soviet Zionist-Bolshevik clique, which for more than a quarter of a century tormented everyone who came within its zone of influence and exterminated dozens millions of the best, promoting and institutionalizing the worst.
And in 1941, the Soviet Zionist-racist-Nazi the ghouls, for the first time in their history, found themselves in mortal danger and they had to raise the downtrodden and stupid Soviet people to fight the righteous anger of Europeans of demanding retribution. Here... for these target they to invent countless evidence of atrocities allegedly committed by Wehrmacht soldiers and SS in the territorys occupied by an organized criminal group of Soviet social Zionists, Nazis, and racists.
During the period of the preventive attack by Germany, at the time of June 22, 1941, the USSR was a gigantic concentration camp, from under the gates of which rivers of blood flowed. The German attack stopped the process of extermination of the Soviet people and the stories about the supposedly subsequent “fascist atrocities” - the usual black propaganda that allows you to hide, veil the scale of Soviet atrocities by shifting the blame for the same Jewish holocausts the shoulders of the German people. Those who at that time lived in the territories liberated from the Soviet plague, and these are numerous documented eyewitness accounts, confirm that the German army was a liberator, not an occupier, and the Germans treated the civilian population in a very civilized manner. And confirmation of this is the very existence as jurisdictions of such countries as Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia. It was the advance of the German army deep into Soviet territories that allowed these countries, for the first time in many years of imperial Russian history, to raise the question of their own statehood.
Few people know, but I saw this document with my own eyes, did signed by from Comrade. Stalin dated November 17, 1941, secret directive No. 0428, in which special sabotage detachments were ordered to dress in German uniforms, cross the front line and commit lawlessness, kill civilians in the territories liberated from the Soviet Nazis, where they were ordered to leave several people alive, who would were able to tell that these crimes were committed by The German Liberation Army.
The “unnecessary victory” in the Baltics cost the Soviet army dearly - 600,000 killed and wounded, which is slightly less than the total losses of Anglo-American troops in the entire campaign on the German Front.
Later they had to pay even more. Seeing what happened in East Prussia, the entire German people realized that there was simply no point in trying to live to see the Soviet victory. They had no choice but to fight to the end. Due to the fact that the victors prepared only death and unimaginable suffering for the vanquished, Stalin’s armies suffered enormous losses on the way to Berlin. Remember the song - Die Fahne hoch - "SA marschiert Mit ruhig festem Schritt Kam'raden, die Rotfront Und Reaktion erschossen, marschier’n im Geist In unser’n Reihen mit.” It was this song that became the slogan of all of Germany at that difficult time, in the struggle of the German ethnic group for its existence against world Zionism, Nazism, and racism, which demanded the destruction of the entire German people.
After the signing of the surrender by the German command, neither the suffering of civilians nor the suffering of the Soviet "Liberators" ended. An unprecedented ethnic cleansing of the German population living in the eastern territories of Germany followed. As historian Ingomar Pust writes in his book “Screams from Hell” (Ingomar Pust, “Schreie aus der Hölle ungehört. Das totgeschwiegene Drama der Sudetendeutschen”, 1998), in 1945-1946, under the supervision of the Sovijet Red Army and with the approval of the United States and Great Britain, killed and deported: 2.3 million Germans - from East Prussia, 0.6 million - from Danzig, 3.1 million - from Lower Silesia, 3.4 million - from Upper Silesia, 0.9 million - from Brandenburg, 1 million from Pomerania, 0.3 million from West Prussia, 1 million from Poznan and 1 million from Warthegau, which is 13.6 million people. If this should be added 3 million Sudeten Germans and 1.5 million Germans from Hungary, Yugoslavia and Romania. In total, over 18 million Germans were expelled from their lands, including from territories divided among themselves, according to the Potsdam conference between the Soviet republics - Poland, Lithuania and Russia. 2.5 million of them died in the process of expulsion in a Sovietish concentration camps, many were simply brutally murdered in extrajudicial massacres and were not included in official statistics.
Alas, their dying cries went unheard !
