27 January 1943, Sachsenhausen concentration camp, Germany. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Sachsenhausen concentration camp was located near the German capital Berlin and was the headquarters of the command of all Nazi concentration camps in the German occupation zone during World War II. Since 1936, nearly 200,000 prisoners of war, including Jewish civilians, have been imprisoned here, and 70,000 or 80,000 prisoners have been killed or died of fatigue and disease.

The camp covers an area of 400 hectares and has a triangular layout, with rows of scattered cells and semi-circular squares that seem to form a picture of the rising sun from the front. The wooden sheds in which the prisoners lived were fan-shaped and were designed and built at the behest of SS leader Himmler. He wanted to "modernize" the Sachsenhausen concentration camp

set the "perfect" model for the continued construction of concentration camps in Germany and throughout Europe.

There was a large playground in the center of the camp, and the prisoners gathered twice a day, in the morning and evening. Whether it was a violent storm or a scorching sun, the prisoners had to stand motionless for hours each day before and after work to wait for the count, or for the labor to be arranged.

Near the tall crematoriums in the concentration camp were the execution grounds and gas chambers for the execution of prisoners. The other corner is isolated from the rest of the cell. Different characters are imprisoned here. A man in the cell looked out and kept thinking about something.

At this time, the door opened, and a jailer said, "Arraignment!" ”

The man was taken to an office, and he was surprised that behind the desk sat the famous Goebbels.

Goebbels saw him come in and said, "Mr. Bandera, we meet again." ”

This prisoner in a suit was none other than Pandra, the leader of the Ukrainian nationalist organization in Poland.

Pandra said, "It's a pleasure to meet you. ”

Goebbels said: "We get straight to the point, how did you think about our request?" ”

Pandra said, "What new do you ask of me?" ”

Goebbels said: "If you can accept our policy, we can give your organization more power and can establish a government. ”

Pandra said: "What new conditions? ”

Goebbels said: "The partisans that are still in the east of Ukraine and east of Ukraine must be eliminated within ten days, and our counter-encirclement and material transportation to Stalingrad must be guaranteed." ”

"Please tell me about the situation in Stalingrad," said Pandra. ”

Goebbels gave a brief account of the situation, saying: "To be honest, the German army is very difficult now, and if you have a meritorious service in this battle, I will help you to have greater power and higher status with the Führer." ”

Pandra said, "Give me a day to think. ”

Goebbels said: "There is no time, your 150,000 troops have been arranged, just waiting for you to go to the front." You get on the plane now, and in a few hours, you get the power directly if you agree, and if you don't agree we will transport you back. ”

Pendra understood why Goebbels had come to find him out of the mountain.

At the moment, the Germans are progressing well on the northern front, but on the southern front they are encountering significant resistance. The Northern Front pushed the Soviets back step by step, and almost killed Stalin several times. Leningrad, which had been besieged for many days, was also captured.

However, on the Southern Front, Khrushchev and others led the army to resist stubbornly, and the partisans on the Southern Front also resisted stubbornly, resulting in Stalingrad being unable to take it for a long time, and there was a long strip behind Stalingrad that was still in the hands of the Soviet Union. The slow progress of Stalingrad led to a great deal of styling of German activities on the Southern Front.

On the southern front, there was the lifeblood of the Soviet Union, that is, oil. Therefore, the focus of the Soviet Union's defense was placed here.

Now the Soviet army even organized forces and carried out a counter-encirclement of the German army, trying to eat the German army and turn the situation around.

Goebbels let Pendra out of the mountain in order to use him, destroy the guerrillas who wanted to vomit, and create conditions for the German offensive.

Thinking about it, Pandra felt confident and said, "Okay." I agree to your terms, and I am responsible for persuading my men. Still, you have to deliver on your promises. ”

Goebbels said: "You made a smart decision. I'll keep my promise. We're on the plane now. This time the method of operation, our Japanese advisers have already helped us to work it out. ”

On the same day, Pandra came to Kiev. Kyiv is his old nest, where his followers are located, and most of them currently serve in the puppet government and control the army. Their army is called the Ukrainian Insurgent Army. The return of Pendra, especially his speeches, reassured the followers and agreed to the demands of the Germans.

The current position of the Ukrainian insurgent army is located very close to the areas where partisans are active.

Goebbels was delighted: these lowly Slavs were available.

On January 28, 1943, Luhansk, eastern Poland, and the long line of communication from here to Stalingrad. The 150,000 Ukrainian insurgents, led nearly 200,000 Polish puppet troops, launched an offensive against the partisans.

This attack on the guerrillas was markedly different from the previous practice, as the villages of more than 10 kilometers on both sides of the communication line were burned down, and the guerrillas who came out of the forest to rescue the villages were exposed to the ambush circle and suffered heavy losses.

The liquidation lasted three days, and the remaining guerrillas were driven away. The Ukrainian insurgent army and the Polish puppet army cleared more than 400 kilometers of lines of communication. The Ukrainian insurgents are well acquainted with these guerrillas, they know their tactics and where they are hiding in their retreat.

Often, after driving the guerrillas away, the Ukrainian rebels can find the guerrillas' camps and completely destroy the guerrillas, leaving the guerrillas homeless, without food, without clothing, and even without the sense of the people to take them in and help them.

As soon as the expert made a move, the situation of the battle immediately changed, and the traffic line was safe and smooth.

On February 2, 1943, ten German divisions were transported overnight to the outside of the Soviet encirclement at Stalingrad, forming a counter-encirclement posture against the Soviet forces encircling the German Army B.

In the early morning of the 2nd, the German counterattack began.

In the second half of Stalingrad, the USSR orchestrated a counterattack. The Soviet strategy was to use the troops in the city of Stalingrad to pin down the large German forces near Stalingrad. At the same time, troops were sent to attack west from the north and south flanks, forming a larger encirclement.

Historically, this counter-encirclement, coupled with the fact that the German army did not have enough supplies, tens of thousands of people died, and the German commander Paulus surrendered to the Soviet army in desperation, forming a turning point in World War II.

Now, this encirclement has been formed, but it is not yet secure. The arrival of German reinforcements was timely, and the Soviet army, which had been unstable, was driven away, and the encirclement that had just been closed was reopened.

Paulus's army, which had received cotton clothing a few days earlier, had now received reinforcements and food supplies, and its combat effectiveness had been further restored.

The counterattack lasted more than ten days.

In the past ten days, not only the Ukrainian insurgent army participated in the campaign, the Polish puppet army participated in the campaign, and even the original Semenov's puppet army south of Moscow also launched an offensive, not only the partisans were repulsed, but also occupied Saratov on the Volga River, only one hundred and fifty kilometers from Stalingrad, and only a dozen kilometers from the logistics and transportation lines of the Soviet army.

On February 20, 1943, the Germans annihilated the Soviet troops south of Stalingrad, and the Soviet troops on the southern side retreated across the Volga River.

Without waiting for Stalin to do anything against the retreating generals, the Soviet troops on the north flank were running out of ammunition, the Soviets were running out of ammunition, and the Germans were still shooting. The Germans routed the Soviet troops, and the remaining Soviet troops retreated to the eastern bank of the Volga.

Hundreds of men evacuated Stalingrad in the dark of night and walked on the ice towards the eastern bank of the Volga, taking the route of the only stretch of ice that had not been blown up by artillery. In the middle of the crowd was a bald Humpty Dumpty, none other than Khrushchev.

Khrushchev was the supreme leader of Stalingrad, and now he is in a terrible mood, not only because he lost Stalingrad, but also because he has just received news that his son is indeed dead, and he has not even seen the body, which is said to have died in a plane crash.

The odious Stalin, who did not allow the withdrawal of his troops, gave millions of soldiers to their lives for the sake of his name. Even my son died. Stalin must not be spared in the future.

The person next to him was the deputy political commissar, and seeing that his face was not good, he said: "Comrade Khrushchev, don't be sad, although we lost this city, we have wiped out a large number of living forces of the German army. We'll call back. ”

Khrushchev said: "Is there anyone else in Stalingrad?" ”

The deputy political commissar said: "I just asked clearly, except for covering our troops, the sniper team sent out a few hours before the retreat has not returned. ”

Khrushchev said: "Is Vasily also in it?" ”

The deputy political commissar said: "Yes. So, there were still ten Soviets in the whole of Stalingrad. ”

Stalingrad city.

A small group of German troops spotted the troops and pursued them to the river in the darkness of the night. There was still a block from the river, and a gunshot suddenly remembered in front.

The Germans had already sensed that the Soviets were retreating overnight, and they were being blocked here, which was obviously wrong. Seeing that the opponent was blocking, he immediately found a place to lie down and shoot at the opponent.

When the large German forces arrived, it was already dawn, and the large forces rushed and the small forces that blocked the attack were all annihilated.

The cheers of the Germans were heard from the city.

Stalingrad was finally occupied.

The three German officers came to the river, wanted to look at the other side for a long time, Su Hu felt that he could not see far enough, and saw that there was a building next to it, half of which was destroyed, and there were stairs that could be taken up, so he went upstairs. There was a lot of garbage on the stairs, broken bricks, etc., and a section of the staircase was blown out of a hole, and only half of it remained.

The first two entered the half-exposed room, and the third was carefully crossing the stairs when a gunshot rang out, and the German officer fell through the hole.

There were sporadic gunshots in the city, and the two in front didn't care, holding binoculars and looking at the other side.

Another gunshot rang out. An officer fell.

The third officer, having noticed it, saw that his companion had been shot in the back of the head, and immediately crouched down and hid in the corner of the house. Where the officer hid, looking at the corpse of his companion, was a little afraid. He shouted a few times, and a person downstairs agreed, and footsteps sounded, looking like three or four people.

After a while, three German soldiers entered the room. The officer saw it and was relieved. A few people were on guard and prepared to go downstairs. They knew that there were dozens of sniper squads operating in Stalingrad, and that they had sniped thousands of German officers, heralds, and signal soldiers. This time, they knew, being targeted by snipers.

Two German soldiers came out of the room, saw that there was no danger, beckoned, and the officer and the last soldier came out of the room and began to descend the stairs.

The officer walked to the hole in the staircase, and was about to step one foot when the gunshots rang out again.

The corpse of the German officer fell from the hole.

Several German soldiers looked forward.

It's all ruins.

******

1, Stalingrad, in 1961 it was changed to Volgograd. Khrushchev's son also died in this battle. It is said that this was the main reason why Khrushchev hated Stalin. Therefore, he completely repudiated Stalin, and even changed the name of the city. Khrushchev's outstanding performance in this battle established his position in the following years. He is different from Zhukov, he is a first-class politician, a first-class military strategist. And Zhukov was a super outstanding military strategist, a second-rate politician.

2. The commander of Army Group South, German Field Marshal Manstein analyzed the reasons for the defeat of the German army in the Battle of Stalingrad in the book "The Lost Victory", first, Hitler resolutely did not abandon Stalingrad. The second is that the task of protecting northern Stalingrad should not be given to the 3rd Romanian Army and an Italian Army and a Hungarian Army Group. The third mistake was the problem of the command system on the southern flank of the German army, Army Group A no longer had a commander-in-chief, and Hitler himself took up this post.

3. The point of view of mainstream Chinese history textbooks: the characteristics of the street battles at Stalingrad made it impossible to give full play to the superiority of the German army's tank and aviation units; weather factors; the loss of German air supremacy; the stubborn resistance of the Soviet troops; the elaborate arrangements of the Soviet High Command for the counteroffensive; The superiority of the Soviet army in terms of troops.

4. The main point of this book is to seek China's greatest national interests in World War II, but for such a brutal war, the author's point of view is that it is better not to happen. In the battle for a city, more than two million people died. It's horrible.

5. Most of the figures we can see about the forces invested by the German and Soviet armies in the Battle of Stalingrad are unreliable. In fact, this figure is difficult to study clearly, because only the confidential information of two countries can give us the whole truth. And these materials are incomplete, this is a historical reality.

6. March 11, 1943 Khrushchev's son, pilot Leonid, died in a crash during the battle. A lot of rumors arose about the cause of Leonid's death: a rumor that Leonid had survived the fall of the plane and was taken prisoner, had taken refuge with the Germans, and Stalin ordered the Soviet troops to capture him and put him to death. Khrushchev pleaded to spare his son's life, but Stalin refused his plea. However, historical researchers have not found any signs of Leonid in the records of the interrogation of Soviet prisoners of war by the Germans. Leonid's comrade-in-arms, Lieutenant Chamorin, later admitted that he was hiding something. It was he who saw Leonid's plane disintegrate.

7. The German army divided its forces to attack Stalingrad and the Caucasus, which was a manifestation of excessive arrogance. The Caucasus campaign is closely related to the Stalingrad campaign, and once the Stalingrad campaign has a result, the Caucasus campaign will also have a result.
