Rising in the morning, Andrei took Yushchenko to the station of the secret service to learn about the interrogation of prisoners of war. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Not long ago, in a temporary concentration camp in the German-occupied area, thousands of Soviet prisoners of war broke through the power grid of the camp wall at the same time and escaped en masse, and most of the prisoners of war were shot by the Germans as soon as they escaped from the concentration camp, but some prisoners of war still stubbornly followed the original escape route and successfully entered the forest.

A few prisoners of war leaned on bark and moss on foot eastward, struggling in the forest, knowing that there might be Red Army guerrilla activity there. They succeeded, and soon the Moscow top knew from them how the fascists treated Soviet prisoners of war!

The prisoners of war only knew what they had seen and experienced, and there was much more they did not know: as early as May 1941, a document was drawn up at Hitler's base camp, which specifically put forward suggestions for the handling of high-ranking political workers of the Soviet army:

The decision on whether a prisoner of war falls within the scope of the extermination is the responsibility of the officer - the document states that this refers to "the officer who has the power to discipline." ”

In this way, every junior officer of the German army, regardless of his position and rank, had the power of life and death over any captured Red officers and soldiers.

The third point in the document states: "Political leaders in the army are not recognized as prisoners of war, and they should be killed in temporary prisoner of war camps at the latest." No repatriation to the rear......

The German Order Proclamation No. 14-802/42 states:

1. Soviet prisoners of war should be marked with special and permanent markings.

2. The mark consists of an open 45-degree acute angle, one centimeter on each side, with the tip of the corner pointing upward, located about a palm's width from the groin on the left hip. It can be done with the scalpel that is available in all units, and ink can be used as a dye....

All these practices showed that the Soviet prisoners were destined from the very beginning of the war to be the best targets for the German army to relieve their morale and build up their self-confidence - the German army had only one purpose, that is, to bring down the unarmed and defenseless prisoners of war and fall to the ground and die!

Political workers did not have the status of prisoners of war, but what was the treatment of other prisoners of the Red Army who had "prisoner of war qualifications"?

In the winter of 1941 in a snowy day. When the temperature dropped below freezing, the Red Army prisoners of war had no place to live, and many died of hunger and cold. In a long letter to Field Marshal Keitel, the German Minister of Occupation in the East, Rosenberg, protested against the treatment of Russian prisoners of war:

Soviet prisoners of war in Germany suffered a very tragic fate, and many died of starvation or torture. This situation could have been avoided, and Germany had enough food for them to eat, preferring to starve them to death. Even on the way to the prisoners of war to the prisoner of war camps. and the people were not allowed to give them anything to eat. Many prisoners of war were shot on the spot due to hunger and fatigue and were unable to keep up with the procession. Prisoners of war were shot in front of frightened civilians, and their bodies were dumped in place. There were no houses to live in the prisoner of war camp at all, it was windy and rainy. Prisoners of war also slept in the open air...... Finally, I have to mention the shooting of prisoners of war, which they did not consider from a political point of view at all......

This is probably the difference between a small number of "ordinary Germans" and the fascists, and there is a little political consideration and humanity in it, but there are very few German officials in this way. The starting point is also politics.

The camp commanders often complained that five to ten percent of the Soviets who were scheduled to be executed were dead or on the verge of death before they reached the camps...... It is particularly noteworthy that on the way to the camps, such as from the railway station to the camps, a considerable number of prisoners of war lay on the road from exhaustion, some dead and some half-dead, so that the escort had to follow a truck carrying them - so it was impossible not to let the Germans see such a scene!

However, the attitude of the Nazi officials was: "The more these prisoners of war die." the better for us. ”

Humanitarianism did not exist, neither the Germans on the front line nor the camp managers in the rear, or even the concentration camps had an opinion on the cruelty of the troops at the front!

It's ridiculous that the cruel fascists have opinions about other fascists, and the reason is even more outrageous to say it! -- The executioners of the concentration camps and prisoner of war camps will feel a little regretful: for for every war float that dies, they have one less place to be executed!

In order to prevent ordinary Germans from seeing the tragic scenes of the prisoners of war on their way to death, Heinrich Müller (one of the heads of the Gestapo, SS district chief and police lieutenant general) issued an order on November 9, 1941: "With immediate effect. Russian prisoners of war who apparently had no hope of survival or could not even hold out for a short journey. There was no need to transport to a concentration camp to be put to death. ”

Nearby processing, fast aspect.

However, the Wehrmacht violated the laws of war. The denial of the most basic living conditions to the prisoners of war was probably the most merciful treatment of Soviet prisoners of war by the German fascists compared to the atrocities of the SS: the Einsatzgruppen special forces committed a thousand times more brutality against the Red Army prisoners of war in the labor camps and prisoner of war camps!

The prisoners of war lived in garbage bins, dog sheds, old ovens, and grass huts built by themselves, and there was no food to satisfy their hunger. Medical care for the sick and wounded is even more out of the question, and prisoners of war can be seen dying in torture and pain at every moment......

The escaped prisoners of war let Moscow know the fascist approach and at the same time issued an order to the whole army, letting everyone know that there would be no good end if they were captured, and Andrei also knew that if the internal affairs troops were captured by the Germans, there would be no good fruit to eat!

So today he came to interrogate the prisoners of war with a belly of fire, and when the chief of the special service saw Andrei coming, he immediately greeted him: "Comrade general, Alexander is on a mission with the head of the special service section of the front, please instruct." The internal affairs department stationed in the Red Army had a dual leadership, both the front army and the internal affairs ministry had the right to command, and Andrei looked at him and asked: "Comrade Alexander, are there any German officers being interrogated now, have you confessed?" ”

Here, Alexander reported: "Comrade General, the prisoners of war are only briefly interrogated by our secret service department, after all, labor is needed now, so after a simple interrogation, those that have no important value will be handed over to the prisoner of war management department for processing." But the German major who caught him hasn't been interrogated yet!"

When Andrei heard that, he said: "Bring him here, and I will interrogate him myself!" "Yes." Alexander nodded and left quickly, Andrei and Yushchenko went to the interrogation room together, and at the same time brought the guard squad to stand guard outside, and soon the special service department brought people in, the German major was captured by the special forces in the rear not long ago and was sent over,

The major was directly frightened when he saw a young Soviet general of the Ministry of Internal Affairs sitting there, these blue-hat internal affairs troops can be said to be the last people that the German prisoners of war want to meet, and Andrei said in a cold tone: "Mr. Major, you should know our methods, so I advise you to tell everything you know, otherwise... ”

After listening to Andrei's words, the major directly trembled his legs and stomach, and then he said: "Mr. General, I am an officer, I should be treated as I deserve, you can't abuse prisoners, this is against international conventions!" ”

International conventions, I'll go to him, Andrei got up suddenly, came to the major who was tied to the chair, directly, took a handful of sticks, and pierced them into the major's flesh one by one, and then Andrei scolded fiercely: "You brutes still dare to talk about the Geneva Convention, have you ever abided by it yourself?" What was the treatment of the Red Army captured by you? Do you think we don't know? Well, tell me everything you know about how you treat the occupied territories, or I'll make you desperate for life, for death! ”

The Major was about to faint in pain, and he immediately began to narrate in a trembling voice, one of which caused Andrei to react violently:

"A friend of mine, a full-time photographer for the Wehrmacht, said that in 41 the Gestapo and the SS carried out a massacre in the valley near Kiev...

What to hear, the major's confession, Andrei directly angry, the Babiya Valley massacre, later generations of the Internet also called it the Valley of the Lady Massacre, Germany occupied Kiev on September 19, 1941, and a week later ordered the remaining Jews in the city (mainly women, children and the elderly) to move and be resettled like men in the army. He cites the testimony of an eyewitness who described how the Ukrainian migration "formed a passage and drove panicked people towards a huge glade." Once there, people were forced to strip naked with sticks, curses and dogs that tore at people's bodies, and they were arranged in a column of every hundred. Then a column of columns lined up in two columns and walked towards the mouth of the canyon. “…… They found them standing in a very narrow spot above the cliff [of the Valley of Niangzi], about 20-25 meters high, opposite them with German machine guns. The dead, the wounded and the dying fell one by one, fell into the valley and fell to pieces. Then the next hundred people are brought, and everything that remains repeats itself again and again. The Gestapo grabbed the children by the legs and threw them alive into the valley.

“…… The Germans destroyed the cliff walls of the canyon and buried people in thick mounds of earth. Yet much later the mound was still moving, because the wounded and dying Jews were still moving. In the months that followed, the Valley of Nymphs became the grave of tens of thousands of Jews, gypsies and Soviet prisoners of war. According to Soviet estimates, at least 100,000 people may have been executed here.

Johannes Hehle, a dedicated photographer for the Wehrmacht, visited the event and took a set of photographs, which are later preserved at the Hamburg Institute for Social Research. That photographer must be the friend this person said he was talking about. The photographer died in 1944, and his widow sold the photographs to a journalist in 1950.

But now, if we can find those photos, find this Johannes Hehle, the truth of the massacre will be revealed, and it will also have a great effect on raising the hatred of everyone.

Without further ado, Andrei decided to immediately send this important situation to Moscow, and at the same time instructed Yushchenko to continue the interrogation and find out more about the photographer. Soon the message flew to Moscow with the radio waves of the high-frequency radio. (To be continued.) )
