699 digging pits

"Dig, dig hard!" The young man in an SS uniform, armed with an MP-38 submachine gun, looked at the ragged Polish prisoner in front of him and commanded.

The other party was obviously reluctant to wave the shovel in his hand, because the SS soldiers escorting them did not seem very friendly.

They had heard many, many legends about the SS massacring the prisoners, so they didn't want to dig their own graves.

This is almost obvious, and the soldiers who escorted them are loaded with guns and ammunition and order them to dig holes, isn't it just saving their own time?

The slaughtered people were asked to dig their own graves so that they could simply kick the bodies down the pit and fill it with earth before leaving.

"Hurry up and get to work! I'll tell you, we're just going to dig the foundation here and build a new labor camp! What are you procrastinating? With his hands behind his back, an SS flag captain shouted impatiently.

He knew that his actions could be easily misunderstood, but did he have the courage to ask these prisoners of war to work for him?

You must know that when he came to direct such an operation this time, he already felt that he had been overutilized, and it was impossible to give these prisoners of war a good look.

The rank of flag captain of the SS is not small, and in the Wehrmacht, he is already a senior commander with the rank of colonel.

Colonel, if it is possible to command a division to fight under the condition of shortage of manpower, to command 1,800 prisoners to dig the foundation is definitely condescending.

"Hurry up! Otherwise, I will arrest a passive construction worker and shoot him as a punishment! He cried out through gritted teeth as he saw the Polish prisoners of war slowly digging into the pits.

Had it not been for this order from the Führer himself, and if it had not been for the fact that it was written in the order that it was not permissible to kill any Polish prisoner of this operation in any form or by any means, he would not have had the patience to shout here.

In the past, as long as someone was procrastinating, he dragged out one person and shot him twice, and the rest of the people worked obediently.

So he really wanted to know why the Führer bothered about the construction of a labor camp, and why it was the order of Adrian, the general of the Ministry of Intelligence......

When will the construction of a labor battalion be asked by the senior general of the Intelligence Directorate of the Supreme Command? When will the Führer care about the life or death of the 1,800 Polish prisoners of war?

Years of work experience have taught him a truth: if you can't figure it out, follow the order, and be extra careful not to make any mistakes.

So he stood here, personally supervising the prisoners of war who were working, and drawing as many guards as he could.

500 soldiers, loaded with live ammunition. Two machine guns were also prepared, which could be considered foolproof.

The only thing that made him depressed was that these prisoners of war saw the submachine guns and machine guns, and decided in their hearts that they were going to slaughter their own executioner troops.

No matter how he explained, this group of people just didn't believe that they were working so hard just to dig the foundation of a labor camp......

Of course, the flag captain also felt that if it were him, he would not believe that such a battle was really here to dig the foundation.

"What the hell are we doing here?" He looked to the side, an officer who was reluctant to speak, but who was not of low rank.

The emblem on that arm represents the identity of the troops directly under the Supreme Command. The officer looked at the somewhat restless flag captain and opened his mouth to say one word: "Dig!" ”

yes, ask so much what to do, just keep digging. Captain Flag knew he was bored with himself, and turned and walked to the side of the car.

He opened the car door, took out a box of cigarettes, pulled one out and stuffed it into his mouth, lit it and took a deep breath.

After relieving himself, he looked at his surroundings again. It is full of trees, and it looks secluded and not easy to spot.

Isn't it, whether it's a labor camp, or a concentration camp that's 10,000 times more brutal, or if you really want to slaughter these Poles, it's a good place.

"It's a good place...... "The flag captain took another puff of his cigarette, then looked at the lieutenant who was following him, "What is this place called?" ”

"Sir, it's called Katyn...... Katyn Forest. The adjutant glanced at the map before he remembered the name.

It's not famous, or it's not famous at all. What kind of reputation can a place full of trees and not many inhabitants have?

There haven't been any major battles or castles in history, so it's no wonder anyone has heard of them.

"Ahh Suddenly, a scream was heard in the distance. In the woodland, this shrill cry seemed a little heartbreaking, and it startled many birds at once.

"Hell! Isn't it a command not to kill? Dropping the cigarette butt at his feet, the angry flag captain roared angrily.

He walked in the direction of the shouting with great vigour, and God knows what the consequences would have if the Führer's orders had not been perfectly executed with him.

Ss! The Führer's personal guard! Can't even carry out the Führer's orders? Are you kidding?

Before it was General Reinhardt's turn to order him to be hanged, there would be countless people who would show their loyalty to the Führer.

"Sir! Our people didn't shoot! An officer leading the team ran over and panted and reported to the flag captain: "It's the Poles, the Poles have found something!" ”

"What did you find?" The flag captain suddenly realized that it was not a simple matter for such a high-level order to be carried out by an officer with the rank of colonel, and also to follow the officers of the intelligence department.

"Corpses!" The officer pointed into the distance: "The people from the intelligence department have already gone over to confirm." ”

"Corpses?" The flag captain finally understood that he didn't come here to really build a labor camp, he came here to dig a pit!

Yes, digging a pit is necessary to find something buried, and the Führer knew that there were corpses buried here, which is why such a high-level order was issued......

Could it be that those bodies were buried by order of the Führer? When he saw the corpses, he knew he was wrong.

The body was already decomposing, and by looking at the extent, it was definitely not buried in a year - you know, a year ago, it was a Soviet ......

USSR! I'm @#$%!, the Führer is digging a hole for the Soviets! Take the Poles and let these Poles be witnesses! Brilliant! That's brilliant!

The question now is, who is buried here, and how much...... Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, the flag captain found that his admiration for the Führer could no longer be described in words - sure enough, it was the superior, Niu X!
