The Germans recorded all the moves

231

Let's continue the topic of the German documents on the fight against partisans. To the accompaniment of the gnashing teeth of fairy tale lovers from the political instructors comrade Epishev, let's see what German documents from stories partisan movement.

They can give us a lot. Firstly, there are thousands of such documents (without much exaggeration) - various reports, certificates and reports on attacks, on ongoing or conducted operations, on the number of partisans and the deployment of their units, and correspondence on this matter. Secondly, they are often very detailed and contain a lot of valuable information. Thirdly, the archives also contain diagrams and maps related to the fight against partisans.



Control and accounting is about the Germans. They were not too lazy to count and write down, up to the number of rail explosions and defused mines or the number of pants seized from the partisans. So, in chess language, all the moves of the Germans were undoubtedly recorded: both the operations of the partisans and their own actions against them.

In principle, if you take up Soviet and German documents and study them in comparison, then the entire partisan struggle can be restored down to the smallest details. Here the partisans report in their report that on such and such a day they attacked such and such a point. And now the German document reports the same attack and its outcome. Comparison of two opposing points of view on the same military event provides unique information that makes it possible to assess how successful a particular guerrilla attack on the Germans was and what damage was actually done. Because the Germans used to record data about what was destroyed, damaged and destroyed.

This work should have been done long ago. If you thoroughly comb through the archives, then, I think, you can collect an almost complete set of German dispatches and reports. At least in the areas of responsibility of the Reichskommissariat, army groups, army corps, and the command of security forces.

Why hasn't this been done yet? It seems that for the reason that from such a comparison the propaganda brilliance of the partisans will fade somewhat. And many heroic deeds and defeats of garrisons will turn out to be a little unreliable, even to the point of complete fiction. Or just not very much in line with popular legends. Not to tell the pioneers about how the partisans heroically attacked a peat-mining enterprise and destroyed cars there.

Exaggeration of partisan successes is an objective thing, dictated by the conditions of partisan war. For the most part, the guerrillas could not find out about the concrete results of an attack or sabotage, since they had to retreat quickly so as not to fall under a retaliation or pursuit.

On the other hand, partisan commanders could overestimate the enemy's losses and damage in order to increase their effectiveness in the eyes of the headquarters of the partisan movement and get weapon, ammunition and explosives. At the headquarters, they apparently turned a blind eye to the works of the partisans and with some skepticism, but they immediately put it all into propaganda, since the soldiers at the front and the workers, who worked hard in the rear, definitely needed enthusiasm. The enemy is beaten in his rear - it was a powerful propaganda weapon.

Therefore, to get rid of these exaggerations, it is necessary to compare reports from both sides. For now, let's see what can be found in the German documents with a couple of examples.

Railway explosion statistics


Railways were the most important for the Eastern Front. And there statistics of explosions and sabotage were collected carefully. Here, for example, the headquarters of the General of Military Communications "Center" (General des Transportswesens Mitte, from October 1942 he was commanded by Oberst Matthias Peters) on November 5, 1942, compiled a report on sabotage, air strikes and artillery shelling of railways in the area of ​​responsibility of Feldeinsenbahn Kommando 2 ( FEKdo.2) and Haupteisenbahndirektion Minsk (HBD Minsk) from 1 to 31 October 1942 (TsAMO RF, f. 500, op. 12454, d. 395, pp. 215-217).

Zone FEKdo.2 had 52 train bombings, 19 rail and bridge bombings, 3 train attacks, 53 mining operations, 68 air raids and 29 artillery attacks. For a month, two-track tracks were blocked for 164 hours, single-track tracks - for 977 hours. In the table, these data are divided into nine directions. For example, the Smolensk - Vyazma - Gzhatsk line was blocked: both routes for 46 hours, one route for 133 hours.

The Germans recorded all the moves
Table of the number of guerrilla attacks on railways in the FEKdo area of ​​responsibility. 2

In the HBD Minsk area, there were 174 train bombings, 51 rail bombings and 8 bridge bombings, 7 train attacks, 61 mines and 20 air raids. Two-track tracks were blocked for 1115,5 hours, single-track tracks for 2119,5 hours. For example, the line Daugavpils - Indra - Polotsk - Vitebsk - Smolensk was blocked: both routes for 337 hours, one route for 582,5 hours. 35 train explosions (or every day).


The consequences of train explosions and crashes could be very frightening to look at. However, the railway workers were obliged to be able (as they do now) to quickly clean everything and restore the track, since the trains go off the rails and without any partisans. The photo shows one of the methods of restoration work. Failing to move the locomotive to the side, apparently due to the lack of a crane, the railroad workers simply paved a bending track. By the way, partisans mainly created jobs for Russian railway workers. FEKdo.2 employed 36,9 thousand people, of which only 11,3 thousand were Germans.

There were 744 hours in a month, that is, the line was stopped 45% of the time and operated with reduced capacity (one track allows transportation in both directions with special regulation) for 78% of the time. That is, the throughput of this line was cut by at least half of the attacks and sabotage of the partisans. This is exactly the line that started Operation Winter Forest, discussed in the previous article.


For a correct understanding: blowing up a train and derailing it does not always mean a complete cessation of transportation. In the photo: a train lies on its side on one track, and the other track is free for movement.

Here is another message from the commander of the security forces and rear of Army Group Center to the command of Army Group Center dated October 14, 1942. It says that the enemy, after artillery and machine-gun shelling at 5:50 am, attacked the Daugavpils - Polotsk line in the area between the Borkovichi and Drissa stations. The Borkovichi station was attacked near the company, the station and the Svoln bridge - near the battalion, and the station and the Drissa bridge - also near the battalion. The attack on Borkovichi was repulsed by fire, and on Svolna and Drissa - by counterattacks. The battle ended at about 8 am (TsAMO RF, f. 500, op. 12454, d. 428, l. 15).

I managed to find a description of the same battle in Soviet literature:

“In October 1942, the combined forces of the partisan brigades of Gerasimov, Petrakov and Zakharov carried out a simultaneous raid on eight enemy garrisons on the railway line from Borkovichi station to Drissa station. The simultaneous blow sowed panic among the Nazis, communications were inactive, there was no one to ask for help. The garrisons offered almost no resistance to the partisans. At the Borkovichi station, a water pump was broken, 17 Nazis were killed and 4 were wounded. In Svoln, partisans damaged the premises of the railway station and barracks with artillery fire. In the ensuing battle, 24 Nazis were killed and 9 were wounded. The people's avengers inflicted great damage on the enemy at other stations and garrisons. During this raid, partisans damaged railway tracks in several places, and train traffic was suspended for three days. " (VE Lobanok "In battles for the Motherland." Minsk, "Belarus", 1964, pp. 153−154).


Everything is so obvious here that there is nothing to comment on.

The idea was to break through to the bridges and blow them up, then the line would stand up for a long time, for several weeks. But it didn't work out. However, even without this, the activity of the partisans on the line significantly interfered with transportation along them. The German data show this very clearly. By the way, this was the shortest railway from Riga with its ports to the rear of Army Group Center.


In itself, the idea of ​​the partisan operation was not bad: the railway on this section crosses the Drissa and its tributary twice. And there is also a bridge across a tributary of the Western Dvina to the west of Drissa station (located near the village of Borovka). By blowing up the bridges near Svolna and Drissa, it was possible to create an isolated area, the restoration of which would be very difficult. Only the partisans did not succeed in the attack; the German garrisons were stronger.

Guerrilla warfare in numbers


Here is a report on the actions of the partisans (Bandenlagebericht), compiled at the headquarters of the 9th Army on May 26, 1944, reflecting the situation from April 26 to May 25, 1944. This is a long and detailed document describing the situation in the most detailed way.

Four partisan groups were operating in the rear of the army:

- 1st northern, in the Klichev area, north of the Berezina; about 3500 people;

- 2nd northern, northeast of the Bobruisk-Minsk road, about 5300 people;

- western, in forests and swamps between Slutsk and Maryina Gorka, about 7000 people;

- southern, in the forests of Polesie, about 3500 people.

A total of approximately 19 partisans (TsAMO RF, f. 300, op. 500, d. 12472, l. 623)


The beginning of the report of the headquarters of the 9th Army on the activity of the partisans.



General diagram of the situation in the rear of the 9th Army and an enlarged fragment with the location of the forces of the two northern groups of partisans.

It should be noted that the annex to the report contains a detailed description of the partisan forces. For example, the "Kuznetsov - Red Banner" brigade; commander Andreev, commissar Avorin. Deployed near Novye Lyady (8445 - probably referring to a sheet of a German map 1: 100 000-84). Number - 45 people, has 600 gun, 1 anti-tank guns, 2 mortars, 20 heavy and 2 light machine guns. It is divided into four groups: "Voroshilov" - 30 people, "Molotov" - 250 people, "Gastello" and "Frunze" - the number is not indicated (TsAMO RF, f. 100, op. 500, d. 12472, l. 623) ...

And so on almost all partisan detachments. The connections are marked with an index. For example, the Kuznetsov - Red Banner brigade is designated D 36, the 37th Parkhomenko Partisan Brigade - F 206. It seems that the Germans had a common card index for partisan formations and detachments. If it was not burned, then it must be archived somewhere.

Since many do not want to believe that the partisans could have been poorly armed, some data can be cited on this score. For example, a detachment "Suvorov" from the 1st Minsk brigade, stationed 3 km north of Shkavilovka, had 110 light machine guns, 3 submachine guns and 4 rifles for 40 partisans. Or, the Kirov brigade, stationed in Luzhitsa, had a seemingly good arsenal: one 76,2-mm cannon, two 45-mm anti-tank guns, 3 mortars, 12 anti-tank rifles, 3 heavy and 40 light machine guns, 100 pistols. machine guns and cars. However, out of 800 people in the brigade, 40% (or 320 people) did not have a weapon, about which there is a special note (TsAMO RF, file 500, op. 12472, file 623, l. 61).

There is an interesting note in the document about guerrilla morale. The core of the detachments was made up of communists, specialists with higher education and the Red Army, and about the rest of the partisans, the report says so (TsAMO RF, f. 500, op. 12472, d. 623, l. 46):

"Der Großteil der Banditen ist mehr oder weniger unter Zwang rekrutiert worden und hat wenig Sympathie für die Bandenbewegung".

That is, most of the partisans are recruited under duress and have little sympathy for the partisan movement. This conclusion was formed as a result of interrogations of the partisans who were captured, as well as defectors from partisan detachments. The latter were few. Since the report notes that the command of the detachments intimidates with the imminent execution of the Germans, and that German propaganda only rarely reaches the partisans.

This is an interesting factor in the struggle: the partisans used their propaganda to get the population of the occupied regions, various allies of the Germans and auxiliary troops. But the Germans could not get the partisans with their propaganda. Purely technical difficulties played an important role in this.

Despite the state of morale on both sides, the war was very tense. The appendix to the report provides information about the battles that took place and the losses incurred in them. From April 26 to May 25, 1944, the Germans carried out four operations, 129 actions with a fight, 112 actions without a fight, and had 53 clashes with partisans.

The partisans carried out 13 attacks repulsed by the Germans, 66 attacks, 24 undermining rails and 5 partially triggered explosions (25 mines were neutralized by the Germans), 61 mining roads (61 mines were neutralized by the Germans), 8 bridges were destroyed, 10 gusts of communication lines, 93 robberies ...


An example of undermining rails.

Losses of partisans: 1510 people killed, 641 taken prisoner, 24 fled to the Germans, 873 were arrested as partisans' accomplices or suspects, 2570 civilians were registered (or registered; it is not very clear what this means).

German trophies were: 75,2-mm howitzer, 3 mortars, 5 anti-tank rifles, 4 heavy and 19 light machine guns, 39 submachine guns, 277 rifles, 18 pistols. Also captured: a movie camera, 100 leather coats, 3000 pants, 284 horses, 253 cows, 440 centners (German centner - 50 kg; 22 tons) of potatoes, 97 carts. 243 partisan camps, 1885 dugouts, 8 villages and a distillery were destroyed.

German losses during operations against partisans: killed - 5 officers, 83 non-commissioned officers and soldiers, 31 "eastern assistants" (Ostfreiwillige, Soviet citizens who helped the Germans); wounded - 2 officers, 169 non-commissioned officers and soldiers, 44 assistants; missing - 2 officers, 27 non-commissioned officers and soldiers, 12 assistants. Defectors from the Germans to the partisans are also mentioned: 3 assistants and 5 hivis (Hilfswillige, Soviet citizens who entered service in the Wehrmacht unit).

The Germans lost weapons: one anti-tank gun, two mortars, two heavy and 14 light machine guns, 3 submachine guns, 10 pistols, 2 rocket launchers and 25 rifles (TsAMO RF, f. 500, op. 12472, d. 623, l. 53 −54).

So, from this report it is clear that the Germans won in most battles and inflicted very significant losses on the partisans. During the month, killed, taken prisoner (and escaped), the partisans lost 2175 people, or 11% of the number of detachments. German losses were almost ten times less: killed, wounded and missing - 288 people (without assistants and hivi).

However, the Germans were losing the war against the partisans in general. The maps show that all their activity was reduced only to pushing the partisans away from the most important roads. Major operations yielded trophies, but were militarily almost unsuccessful. The core of partisan detachments and brigades (represented by the communists and the military) could lose almost everything in defeat. But it went to another area, and after a few weeks it was overgrown with those who wanted to fight against the Germans, by persuasion or force they mobilized into detachments, acquired weapons and were ready to fight again. Therefore, the defeat of the partisan detachments and the thousands of killed partisans gave little to the Germans. In fact, it was only a grind of the local population.

So the German documents have a lot to tell, especially when viewed in a broad context. For example, the report of the 9th Army headquarters on the fight against partisans paints a picture on the eve of Operation Bagration, about a month before the offensive on Bobruisk.


From this diagram, attached to the report of the headquarters of the 9th Army on May 26, 1944, with the marked zones controlled by the partisans, it is clear how bad the situation of the 9th Army was on the eve of the battle for Bobruisk. In fact, even before the start of the battle, the army's forces were in a kind of "bottle" and had no freedom of maneuver at all.

Then the 65th Army passed through a swamp, which was considered impassable, and led the 1st Guards tank corps, which was introduced into the breakthrough of the German defense. The commander of the 65th Army I.P. Batov describes it as if the Germans believed in the designation of an impassable swamp on the map. However, I do not think that everything was as simple as Batov says.

There were also other reasons for the successful breakthrough, one of which was the participation of partisans.

    And for Denis Davydov's partisan movement there is a story to tell ... As for the article, of course the Germans wrote everything down, BUT this does not beg Podvig, partisans who autonomously (this is not regular troops with their support) could inflict significant damage to the German fascist invaders ... And it is not for us to judge that. You need to remember about selflessness, courage, loyalty to your homeland. And statistics are for extras.

      Let's continue the topic of the German documents on the fight against partisans. To the accompaniment of the gnashing teeth of fairy tale lovers from the political instructors comrade Epishev, let's see what German documents from the history of the partisan movement can give us.
      Again, an accomplice of the Nazis Verkhoturov, he creates myths and himself dispels them. From the very first phrase alone, it already crumbles, that is, one must believe the German "documents" a priori (the Germans cannot lie about the author), but political instructors cannot be trusted.

        Administration of VO, when will you stop publishing outspoken fascists ?!
        It's okay, you need to know the enemy by sight. What he thinks and what he breathes.
        ... that is, the German "documents" must be believed a priori ...
        Well, why not believe it, especially if you read it carefully? For example:
        There were 744 hours in a month, that is, the line was stopped 45% of the time and operated with reduced capacity (one track allows transportation in both directions with special regulation) for 78% of the time. That is, the throughput of this line was reduced by at least half of the attacks and sabotage of the partisans.
        Is this not a victory ??? For this, the detachments fought. We fought as best they could and knew how. And they could and could not do much at that time. You also need to understand the level of a fighter of that time. In no way will I say that our ancestors were stupider than we are, but nevertheless, the horizons were often limited to their own village and one or two newspapers. This happened much later - in the mid-80s I met a man who had never seen the railway !!! So imagine how to send such a person to blow up the bridge? He, from the grandeur of the structure, will fall into a stupor on the spot.
        Think of the article not as propaganda, but as information for analysis, for example, data on attacks and damage to railways, recovery times, etc. Given the presence of the same roads, the data is now very informative if you compare them correctly.

          Control and accounting is about the Germans.

          How many times have they debunked tales about the "control and accounting" of the Aryans in the documents, but everything is itching ... If the fascist said, then it is true, but if his grandfather told it, it was a lie am

          Thus, it can be stated that today there are no absolutely reliable sources for the losses of the German Luftwaffe on the Soviet-German front. At the same time, there is a “growth” of losses in the documents of the German Ground Forces or Kriegsmarine, which are not connected with the Luftwaffe. Therefore, apparently for quite a long time we will have to be content with the next “approaching” to the disclosure of this topic, and not “the ultimate truth”.

        Quote: Alexander Suvorov
        an accomplice of the Nazis verhoturov, the German "documents" must be believed a priori (the Germans cannot lie about the author), but political instructors cannot be trusted.

        Administration of VO, when will you stop publishing outspoken fascists ?!

        This next "research" on VO is equal to Bandera-fascist Russophobic propaganda and chutzpe. The logic is the same. Verkhoturov's policemen are "Soviet citizens who help" the Nazis-Hitlerites, and insidious political instructors drive people into partisans with threats, persuasion and force. Verkhoturov does not even ask the question - why. Although he himself writes that many who went to the partisans did not even have enough weapons. So why? To have extra mouths in the forest? Or, nevertheless, there were more people willing to voluntarily beat the fascists than weapons for them. And they waited to be able to get their weapons in battle. The entire article is written with the same "logic".
        On the example of my small homeland - the territory of the notorious RONA. The occupation regime was carried out by two Magyar divisions - the 102nd and the 105th. Another 108 was formally acting side by side, but practically against our own partisans. They did not go into the forest against the partisans... For this, when the front approached, and the partisans became a direct threat to the closest rear of the German front, the Germans had to collect ~ 50 thousand. troops, including a tank division, to oppose ~ 20 thousand. poorly armed partisans. The 20 thousand included partisan families, including children and the elderly, and another peace man who was hiding in the forest from Hitler's "bounty". The Nazis called this fascist operation the "Gypsy Baron". The Magyars did not enter the forest, but the easily accessible villages of the Magyars were plundered indiscriminately. Once they even robbed the house of the deputy leader RON Mosin. They Magyars don't care. But the Magyars not only robbed, they killed: women, old people, children, often burned alive together with houses, with villages, with villages. In the reports, it is published, the Magyars boast how many "partisans and their accomplices" were killed every day. And hence the "trophy" potatoes and other material values. This was the policy of the Hitlerite European Union on the genocide of the Russian people. Verkhoturov suggests accepting and approving his propaganda.
        PS. People were driven into policemen with threats. Even taking into account the "recruitment" in the concentration camps, those who volunteered to serve in the police accounted for ~ 8% of the total number. We do not have Galicia, in which 80 thousand volunteers turned up for the vacancy of one SS Galicia division.

        Who cares, and lousy to the bath!
        Folk proverb. laughing

        Now to our piglet!
        German trophies were: 75,2-mm howitzer, 3 mortars, 5 anti-tank rifles, 4 heavy and 19 light machine guns, 39 submachine guns, 277 rifles, 18 pistols. Also captured: a movie camera, 100 leather coats, 3000 pants, 284 horses, 253 cows, 440 centners (German centner - 50 kg; 22 tons) of potatoes, 97 carts.

        Vaunted German pedantry or a Chinese caliper? Perhaps the howitzer was 76,2mm, or was it a German captured mountain 75mm gun?
        3000 pants amazed even more! Especially round numbers, including the coat. The realization that they were mainly removed from the corpses or taken from civilians can only cause tolerance towards the German nation and its allies.
        The cows, apparently, were also partisans, or were pragmatically withdrawn from the farms of just anyone. And how many got into the boiler before the "vaunted accounting"! I'm not sure that the “helpers” and “Germans”, when choosing what to eat and what to send to the heir, made the right choice between beef and biscuit? However, Gero Oberest also had to think about what to eat for breakfast!
        So, I am more inclined to the stories of our eyewitnesses of those events.
        “The cattle and chickens were hid in the forest and in the huts. If the police or the Germans found it (cattle), then they seized it. By 43 there were three goats and one cow left in the village. Only babies got milk. In the spring, it was decided to lead the cow to calving. The only bull in the area remained in the partisan detachment fifteen miles away. First, grandfather Petro went to them. Agreed for a bag of potatoes and a bottle of moonshine. Then we boys in three with a cow and a sack on its back went to the detachment. "
        I will not quote further - boys of 11-12 years old brought a cow to a bull. True, they broke a bottle of moonshine, and a cow ate half of the potatoes, which they taught did not die. The partisans themselves returned them. Together with the accidental cow.
        On my own I would only add that the place of events is Western Ukraine.
        Well, in conclusion. Any guerrilla unit is inferior to the regular army. Knowledge of the terrain only partially neutralizes a well-planned military operation. I will say more even a prepared sabotage group has limited autonomy, what to speak of the civilian population.

          I agree: the underpants are a masterpiece. The partisans had some kind of thrifty foreman: how many pants they prepared. I doubt that the guerrillas would store their underpants, I think that it was taken from the dead and civilians were taken away.

          So this is where these thousands of partisans come from! They destroyed the hut around the cow, and the killed residents were recorded as partisans. And really, if you think about it, why the hell in a detachment to feed people who have one rifle for six?
          --
          And in one of the districts of the Kaluga region, the grave of German intelligence, caught in a partisan ambush, is overgrown with birch trees. According to the stories of local residents, policemen in all the surrounding villages collected coffins prepared for themselves by the old people in order to put about 40 unlucky "partisan hunters" to rest.

      I completely agree. German documents not only do not belittle, on the contrary, they point to the effectiveness of the partisan struggle. In one month, 52 explosions under trains, 19 explosions of rails and bridges, 3 attacks on trains, 53 mines, 68 air raids and 29 artillery attacks. For a month, two-track tracks were blocked for 164 hours, single-track tracks - for 977 hours. This is a very decent result.

        Interesting statistics ... They had 53 clashes with partisans, and 129 actions with combat. What is it like? If 53 times with partisans, then 73 more times they fought with whom?
        61 mining of roads (61 mines were defused by the Germans). It is that, directly, the 100% effectiveness of German sappers or mine explosions were not included in this statistic.

        That is, most of the partisans are recruited under duress and have little sympathy for the partisan movement. This conclusion was formed as a result of interrogations of the partisans who were captured, as well as defectors from partisan detachments. The latter were few. Since the report notes that the command of the detachments intimidates with the imminent execution of the Germans, and that German propaganda only rarely reaches the partisans.

        Just about 19 partisans (TsAMO RF, f. 500, op. 12472, d. 623, l. 45)
        Partisan losses: 1510 killed, 641 taken prisoner, 24 deserted to the Germans, 873 arrested as partisans' accomplices or suspects, 2570 civilians were registered
        ... Here it is necessary to write something about the side of the local population.
        And don't talk about:
        The partisans got their propaganda out to the population of the occupied regions, various allies of the Germans and auxiliary troops. But the Germans could not get the partisans with their propaganda. They played an important role in this purely technical difficulties.

Because the Germans used to record data about what was destroyed, damaged and destroyed

        How can you, the Soviet partisans, according to the German organization-order- die Ordnung, did not have any success at all. Like our pilots, tankers, artillerymen, infantrymen, after all, already at a high level in the USA, we are told that Bialystok was liberated by American tankers. Probably soon, photographic documents will appear, and then a newsreel about how a smiling American tankman (necessarily a Negro) wiping sweat from a tired forehead greets the liberated residents of Bialystok. And again, if you believe the author (and how not to believe if, as he writes, only he was able to correctly translate German documents, and knows how to work with them correctly), then
        ... the partisans mainly created jobs for Russian railway workers.
        .That is, it turns out that the Germans had no problems with the railroad tracks. Well, think, the replenishment arrived in the evening, when it was expected in the morning, the ammunition was brought up after the Russians were able to counterattack, the tanks appeared in a day ... reports of some political instructors when people have everything die Ordnung ...

      What are you, what are you. Here we take the reports of the Soviet pilots - they claim that they were shot down. But the plane fell behind the front line, so that the tail of the shot down is visible from the Soviet trenches, according to German reports, it passes as if it landed outside the airfield, but received more than 90% damage during landing, therefore it must be written off. So the main report, ordnung, so to speak. otherwise they will write to the devil. There are cool German "experts" - God forgive me so many applications in one day that you don't know who to believe, or Soviet documents, but for some reason the numbers are always lower, so most likely you need to believe the correct German, because as they wrote there, "the pilot's reputation allows his claim to be approved."

        They were opposed by 296 pounds, their losses during the same time

The same Krivosheev completely proceeded from the data of GM and Overmas and did not cause any special complaints from him. Of course, these data are not accurate to the person. About the wrong reports - how do you imagine the underestimation of losses in the reports from the German side? let's say in the same losses of personnel you can underestimate, as a result, remain without replenishment, the same with equipment. one thing is cheating or ignorance of the reasons for the loss, another is knowingly providing inaccurate data. one is wonderful a day with such a game of numbers, you can be left with a bare bottom. and the overestimation of enemy losses in their reports is a normal world practice, which should be sorry for their adversaries wassat here it is more correct to pose the question how many times it is overstated.

                  I explain that in 1991 the population of the USSR is 300 million people and the stable growth of the population.

                  At the expense of the same nationalities, since Soviet citizens of Slavic blood (it is difficult to call them Russians) already preferred to have 6 million abortions a year than to give birth.

                    The nuclear triad was deployed, apartments were built, schools in each village (one SS man wrote that he was surprised by the presence of so many books in German in the village school library). Destroyed as best they could. Your bla-arody, you crunch a French bun laughing or a Bavarian drink wassat?

      The author has perfectly learned the German language, but completely forgot Russian.

      The article does not in any way humiliate the partisans. How long could an army unit fight in an encirclement and what losses did it suffer during encirclement battles during the Great Patriotic War? Partisan detachments fought in German encirclement for 3 years. In the West, they immediately studied the phenomenon of partisan warfare in China and the USSR, and in Korea, the US partisan movement was quickly defeated. Realizing how difficult and bloody the partisan war was, it will not become less heroic. But having understood the cost of guerrilla warfare, you come to the conclusion that it is better to fight the aggressor with effective missile and aircraft weapons or weapons of mass destruction than to count on success in the guerrilla war in the future.

    Excuse me, I will cite the propaganda of political instructor Epishev: during the occupation of the Krasnodar Territory, partisans of Pyotr Ignatov derailed 16 steam locomotives and 392 carriages and destroyed more than 40 tanks and armored cars, 36 artillery pieces, 100 field guns, 113 trucks, 100 motorcycles with cradles and even one plane. On account of this detachment, approximately 8 thousand killed German and Romanian soldiers. The number of the detachment was about 100 people. What do the German documents say about this? Moreover, the Germans have repeatedly declared the defeat of this partisan detachment. I wonder what trophies did the Germans capture after the next defeat of this detachment?

    the author of the article does not express his opinion. The author is clearly conducting propaganda to say between the lines of the article that there was no need to resist. Say, look, and the blown up rails brought little harm to the Germans, and the losses of partisans in battles with punishers were almost one to fifteen in favor of the Germans. And what photo illustrates this propaganda at the beginning of the article !!! The polished Germans surrounded the partisans' dugout, as if on an adventure hunt a bear's den, and with a grimace they are ready to shoot the winners ... Liberals have already published similar articles, they say, there was no need to resist the inhabitants of Leningrad ...
    And the author did not realize that the partisans were operating in the territory occupied by the Germans.
    and it was not possible to supply the partisans with weapons, while the Wehrmacht against their punishers
    the partisan could supply with whatever weapon you want and ammunition as much as you want And in the ranks of the punishers
    there were only a couple of civilian policemen standing next to ten full-time German soldiers, while ten civilian Soviet citizens, often women, old people and even children, stood in the guerrilla line next to a couple of Soviet soldiers.
    And how many meters of rope did the Nazis spend hanging thousands of Soviet partisans for the fact that those
    defended our homeland of the USSR, the author did not find any records about this from the Germans, or did he find them, but left the publication next time? Look, if you don't wake up angry comments under his today's lampoon, his even more vile article will appear.

I present the report of the German "Ober" to the higher command, in which he describes how he was defeated by a small and weakly armed partisan detachment.

    Here is the same beaten FoshYst in the rank of General Eike Mideldorf in his book "The Russian Campaign. Tactics and Armament" writes that in 43 the partisans, among other things, destroyed 2 echelons with "tigers". How much material and human resources would the Red Army have to spend to destroy 20-30, or how many of them there could be, heavy tanks in an open battle? From this point of view, the inability of the detachments, it is good if there are several hundred people, to give battle to the Germans when they sent a regiment, or even a division, did not matter much. The war is a cynical thing, of course, the Red Army command understood that weakly armed people behind enemy lines were most likely suicide bombers, even more likely than in the penal battalion, but the damage inflicted by sabotage kept much more forces from the Red Army itself, and increased the losses of the Germans. not receiving timely reinforcements and supplies from her actions.

    Well, in itself, a victory over the partisans always requires sending disproportionately large forces against them, since it is corny that people are needed to search, cordon off territories, and other activities. That is why regular armies, winning in any clash, can fight the guerrillas for years. And while a regiment of 2000 digs is combing the forest in search of a detachment of 150-200 people, it does not participate in battles against regular forces.

    Those. by and large, the goal was achieved (albeit a minimum).
    2.
    That is, most of the partisans are recruited under duress and have little sympathy for the partisan movement. This conclusion was formed as a result of interrogations of the partisans who were captured, as well as defectors from partisan detachments.

    Nice pearl. And what other conclusion could have been drawn from the interrogation of the prisoners? Who in a sober mind and sound memory, being interrogated, will say that he hates the Nazis, deliberately joined the partisans and personally derailed the train?
    3. Nor and a natural result:
    However, the Germans were losing the war against the partisans in general.
    Even the author is forced to admit the obvious.

    But it went to another area, and after a few weeks overgrown with those wishing to fight against the Germans, By persuasion or force, she mobilized into detachments, acquired weapons and was again ready to fight.

    Well, here the author again contradicts himself:
    most partisans are recruited under duress and have little sympathy for the partisan movement.

    "willing to fight against the Germans" is obvious.
    "carried out mobilization by force" - the author's conjecture (probably Alexievich had read a lot).
    How does the author imagine - to give a person a weapon by force and force him to fight? Is it not clear that he will either run away or turn the weapon in the opposite direction?
    They may tell me about mobilization in the active army, but there is something different. Firstly, whoever wanted to - ran away, is especially clearly seen on the conscripts of Western Ukraine and Western Belarus in June 1941, and secondly, there was something decent in a person, and even though by force, he went to fight for a just cause (the regular army and partisans - different weight categories). Thirdly, in the army it is necessary to fight far from home, and in the partisans - nearby, it is also a great incentive to leave, if not a volunteer. Fourth, the forcibly summoned is a potential traitor. For the partisans, this posed a significantly greater danger than for the army. The guerrilla is easier to destroy than the army.
    Thus, we see an example of how, using the correct initial data, the wrong conclusions are drawn for our personal point of view.

    In principle, if you take up Soviet and German documents and study them in comparison, then the entire partisan struggle can be restored down to the smallest details.

    But why?
    Was there an extensive guerrilla war behind enemy lines? Was! Even some!
    Were there, let's say, some exaggeration of the results thereof, both on the part of the official authorities and the partisans themselves? Of course yes! In general, this is quite understandable.
    So what? Does this somehow diminish the feat of our ancestors, who, in the most difficult conditions, often in complete isolation from communications, waged, albeit not so successful, a struggle against the occupiers? You yourself will be able, living in a dugout, in a deep forest to conduct hostilities against superior enemy forces? And not on an island in the Pacific Ocean, with an average annual temperature of +20, but in our Palestine, with an average of about zero Celsius? Most probably not. There is no need for criticism.
    Of course, if you want to talk about stupid soviet propaganda and lie-guerrillas - then, of course, this kind of "comparison" is very necessary and useful.
    Personally, it seems to me that the revealing fervor of researchers would be better directed towards a more pragmatic channel. For example, to find out who, how and where brought the huge assets of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, to find out how it turns out that prices for everything and everything are constantly growing in our country, to understand and explain to others for such a socially useful load, our deputies receive such salaries.
    These are the themes. Real, topical, interesting.
    But unsafe, and therefore, it is better to start comparing documents of the first half of the last century - this is so worried about our compatriots and so useful for ... for what? Search truths? And who needs this "truth" ?!

    To be honest, I do not understand some colleagues who write the author of the article directly almost to Hitler's accomplices. Compared to some other authors, yes, take at least a neighboring branch, Verkhoturov is at least studying something, looking at documents , analyzes, draws conclusions.
    I myself am somewhat surprised by the trust that the author has in German documents. In my opinion, the fact that the Germans, in their reports, just like everyone else, manipulated the figures as it was beneficial for them, has long been and irrefutably proven on specific examples. Accordingly, the reliability of their data must be proven in each specific case.
    The fact that the author comes to conclusions that are not very beautiful for us is normal. But a fascist, an "accomplice", etc. it doesn't do it in any way. Yes, the research is fragmentary, one can feel the limited ability of the author to study the materials, an uncritical approach to German sources, some haste in drawing conclusions, but here it is.
    Regarding the content of the article.
    Were there partisans? There were.
    Did they harm the Germans? Caused.
    Was the harm significant? Essential.
    Did the Germans carry out activities against the partisans? Carried out.
    Have the partisans suffered losses? Carried.
    Maybe some of your colleagues doubted that the partisans died in battles with the Germans? Did you think that life in a partisan unit was like a protracted picnic in nature or fishing with systematic forays into village shops? But some Soviet books and films do just that.
    Or does someone seriously believe that the losses of the Germans during the battles with the partisans were greater than the losses of the partisans? That the partisans killed more than they lost in battle? Or maybe someone doubts that the Germans are serious fighters, well organized and equipped? Or does he think the guerrillas were better organized and equipped?
    Well, then I don't know, for such thinkers this article should really be a heavy blow ...

    For me, the article really deserves criticism, but normal criticism, and not splashing saliva in a noble fit of indignation.
    The author did not understand the methods of calculating losses by the Germans, both their own and others', trophies, etc. For example, in battle, an explosion broke a rifle - the butt in one direction, the breech in the other. According to German data, it will be "two units of captured weapons", one or zero?
    Or a partisan camp was destroyed, in it thirteen corpses of men aged 17 years (by eye, of course), four corpses of women and five corpses of children under 17 years old (again by eye) were found. Question: how many partisans died?
    Who prepared these reports, for whom, what goals did they pursue? A lot also depends on this, no matter what someone says about German pedantry and punctuality.
    In short, there are many questions about the article, but instead of asking them to the author, some comrades just put shit in their mouths and start spitting. I suggest you, dear ones, to stop and start using your head precisely as a thinking apparatus, and not as a weapon for shooting fecal masses. Think about what you didn't like about the article and why. Coolly. Maybe then your rhetoric will change.

      Twenty-two, of course.

          Obviously this is not an exam. So - joked not very well. Sorry.
          And if on business - my position is as follows:
          We really, really need such research: deep, thorough, with the study and comparison of not only official sources, but also rumors, factual "ducks" and falsifications, in order to be ready for an ideological struggle, and to answer any provocative question simply, clearly and essentially referring to the extracted material. At the same time, having studied the legends, myths and outright forgery one step ahead of the enemy in his attempts to denigrate, stain and throw mud at the exploits of our ancestors.
          After all, it is only for a resident of the Russian Federation that the main truth is the Red Flag of the Red Army on the Reichstag, and from the point of view of almost any inhabitant, west of the Vistula, it is an impossible irritant - how did some eastern barbarians "bend" such refined supermen ?!
          Any nation has some milestones, historical beacons - break them, extinguish them and the people will lose their identity, drown in the whirlpool of foreign cultures and spend their energy in constant repentance.
          The Great Victory is one of the stones of our foundation, and to shatter, break and grind this stone into dust is the primary task of our ideological enemies, and therefore the search for information, its structuring, rechecking and preparation of reasoned antitheses is paramount and necessary.
          But, as usual, there is a nuance - it is not advisable to publish the results of this work in open sources, because any weapon is useful when the enemy is not aware of it.
          I think so.

            I will add only on my own behalf that a "patriotic" lie is no less dangerous than a Russophobic or anti-Soviet lie, call it what you want. In the USSR, they lied to us one thing, in Yeltsin's Russia - another, now the third is lying. The attack on history is being carried out on all fronts - from ancient times to modern times - and from several directions - ultrapatriotic, liberal-nihilistic, and several intermediate ones.
            History, as a science, these attacks do not bother with the word "absolutely" - in the scientific community some mad theories, such as, for example, about the statistic millions destroyed by Stalin in the GULAG or the Great Tartary of Fomenko, like the theory of "Flat Land", of course not pass. But this, in fact, is not required to successfully undermine the ideological base in the country. To load the information space of an ordinary man in the street with all sorts of radical pseudoscientific theories is a completely different matter. Their primitiveness, ease of understanding and a huge variety, so that everyone will find it to their liking, give pseudosciences a huge advantage over science itself, which is boring and trivial because it is too logical and consistent.
            Research such as this article is needed, and the author, of course, can be thanked for the attempt, I emphasize, the attempt to conduct an objective study of the issue raised, albeit a weak one, but an attempt.

              In terms of evaluating the Author of the article, I want to note a very important point - from what foundation and for what purpose it was written.
              You know perfectly well that any fact can be interpreted from different positions, and here the choice of the side by the Author is of fundamental importance.
              Personally, it seems to me that when the author, a citizen of the Russian Federation, begins to say that he considers the issues of the Second World War as a "pure" researcher, this is slyness.
              A pure researcher of the Second World War can be, for example, a citizen of Zimbabwe, Burkina Faso, Chad, CAR, Nicaragua or any other country whose inhabitants did not participate in the Second World War from the word "in any way".
              However, an unbiased scholar can be a Pushkin scholar or an expert on Franco-Anglo-Russian relations in the 19th century - that is, a person who studies events that have long plunged into Limb.
              In our situation, in a situation of almost guaranteed ideologization of WWII research, it is extremely necessary to determine the basic point of view, and their diversity is known to all those interested: from jingoistic patriotism to anti-Soviet hysteria.
              I believe that the author of the article tried to become a "pure" researcher with a liberal bias, which is generally not fatal, but rather weak for ideological confrontation.
              Personally, I am closer to Tvardovsky's position, which invisibly passes through the whole of Vasily Tyorkin: there were all sorts of different things, but our deed was just, the enemy was defeated, Victory is ours and our conscience is clear. Dot.

                Yes, I partially agree, namely in the part that the events that took place relatively recently, let's say, a hundred years ago or less, which still directly affect the living, is very difficult to study, it is difficult to abstract from your own position, your own understanding of these events , which took shape even before the actual research began. Nevertheless, I personally impute it simply to any researcher to try to be as objective as possible, abstracting from his own position. When starting a research, a researcher should not know what result this research will end with and must be ready to humbly accept any result in advance.
                You can express your attitude to the issue after the work is completed, the main theses are formulated, the argument is selected and systematized, generalizations and conclusions are made.
                On the subject of the history of the Second World War, in this regard, I like the approach of such a researcher as Vyacheslav Mosunov. He coldly and impartially dissects combat episodes, ruthlessly describing both the strengths and weaknesses of opponents, their successes and failures. But he always feels in everything that he is still "for ours", that it hurts him to write about losses and sweetly about victories, but he does it with the same scrupulousness and our soldiers do not look like miraculous heroes or semi-literate peasants, but the Germans, too, are not superhumans, and not vile cowardly mongrels.
                Verkhoturov, so far, in any case, to such a level oh how far. But he does at least try. Most authors don't even bother with this.

      "Did the partisans suffer losses? They did." But 1510 (one thousand five hundred and ten) partisans in one operation ?! Yes, such partisan formations that COULD suffer such losses could be counted on one hand. Saburov, Fedorov-Chernigovsky, Kovpak, Medvedev. Who else?!
      About hard times. Neither Fedorov-Chernigovsky, nor Kovpak, nor Medvedev hid such times. Read "From Polesie to the Carpathians" by Kovpak, "Strong in spirit" by Medvedev, "Front behind enemy lines" and "Front behind the front line" by Fedorov-Chernigovsky. Yes, there was a time when tol was smelted from unexploded bombs, risking their lives. It was that mines under the trains were blown up with the help of ropes. Small garrisons were attacked for the sake of obtaining weapons. But they fought the enemy! Hitler and his henchmen did not manage to organize such a thing. And how much intelligence information did the partisans give? After all, the Soviet bomber aviation sometimes worked according to partisan data.
      If you want to criticize ON THE CASE, read Ilya Grigorievich Starinov, when, before the operation "Bagration" (during the "Rail War"), some units chased kilometers of undermined rails on inactive areas instead of undermining bridges, or the path under the trains. But this was corrected from the Central Headquarters of the partisan movement. And again about political instructors and commissars. But in the course of the Carpathian raid, the commissar of the Kovpak formation, Rudnev, was killed. Most of the commanders of the detachments were communists and, in addition, employees of the NKVD, the same Medvedev.
      The author of the article praises the Germans for establishing movement along one path when the second was undermined. But as a former railroad worker, I can tell you that the throughput does not drop by half, as according to formal logic, but by four! This alone is a great success!

        You know, I read it. For a long time, really. I also read Manstein, Routh, Tippelskirch, Skorzeny, and many others. And he did not forget about our marshals and generals either. So - one conclusion - all lie. Not always and not in everything, someone is more, someone is less, but everyone lies. The losers, of course, are more - it is more difficult to honestly talk about defeats.
        I am not saying that the figures given by the author in the article are downright truth in the final instance. No, I believe that the numbers are most likely distorted and what was in fact is unlikely to correspond. It is necessary to study this issue deeper and correct the figures taking into account our data, other German data, raise, for example, the archives of their hospitals, how the consumption of medicines changed depending on the activity of the struggle against partisans, analyze the consumption of ammunition, fuel and lubricants for different periods, etc. Find and disassemble, at worst, the cemeteries where the Germans buried the killed partisans - where are they? How many people are buried on them? Who dug holes, when, what did they feed these diggers, where did they bring them from, where did they take them, who counted the corpses, what they thought, for whom or for what (for which service or department) did they count? And that's just what came to mind offhand.
        That's when all these questions will be answered (and the archives probably have all this, you just need to dig up, research, enter into scientific circulation), the numbers that the author operates with will change (or will not change), and we will know more reliable numbers. And these "more reliable" ones will also be corrected over time.
        The author does not extol anyone and does not belittle anyone. He gives numbers. These figures can be trusted or not. The author believes and this is his business. Perhaps he has reasons for this, which he is silent about. But these figures can be refuted only with other figures in our hands, which we do not have. And on one own life experience and "common sense" you will not go far.
        Therefore, I state that I do not trust these figures, I think that they need to be checked, checked and checked again using indirect data, but I will not deal with this myself. The figures themselves are taken into account and nothing more. Thanks to the author.

          I have Manstein, Guderian, Tippelskirch, and Halder on paper, and Schellenberg on my hard drive. When Tippelskirch says that the 48th Tank Corps, without losing a single tank, destroyed 56 (fifty-six) Soviet ones, I immediately understand from whom the author of the story learned to lie. Both Guderian and Tippelskirch had all Soviet tanks either T-34, or KV, or IS-2. Although in the Red Army
          there were BT, T-26, T-50, T-60, T-70, T-38, T-39, T-40, Valentines, Tetrarchs Matilda, Churchillies, Stewarts, Lee-Grants, Shermans. Archives. What are the archives of the ideal German war machine, especially in Operation Bagration and in the Battle of Korsun-Shevchenkovsky? In Operation Bagration, the encircled were finished off by attack aircraft - they had no time for archives. At Korsun-Shevchenkovsky, they went to break through into a blizzard - what archives, who counted the losses ?! Yes, and during the storming of the Brest Fortress, the corps commander, General Schroth THREE TIMES! reported on the capture of the fortress (. "War Diary" Halder).

              Yes, exactly an order of magnitude and more truthful. The evacuation and deployment of production were carried out, albeit with great difficulties, but successfully, the USSR surpassed Germany in the production of military equipment (the USSR produced 120 tanks and self-propelled guns alone, and only 000 for Hitler) , ammunition, small arms (and this despite the fact that all of Europe worked for Hitler), the Wehrmacht and SS troops were defeated, the Red Banner on the Reichstag. And the main foundation of the Victory was laid even before the war - the construction of backup plants in the Urals and Siberia, which speaks of the foresight of the USSR leadership. The Nuremberg Tribunal was held over the fascist criminals (although the West did not really want to do this). Winners need not exaggerate their deeds. The result speaks for itself. Small boasting was certainly, well, a weak man. But where are the Germans, about 85 "shot down" from the best German ace against 000 from Kozhedub or 360 from Pokryshkin! Moreover, most of the German aces were shot down on the Eastern Front, that is, by Soviet pilots and anti-aircraft gunners.

              To Mikhail - the Master of Trilobite - On the road going south-west of Minsk from Rudensk to Fanipol, there are more than 100 Germans left of those who managed to escape from the boilers in Bobruisk and Mogilev: in burnt-out equipment, ditches, swamps, pits, on the roads and fields around them ... According to local residents, after the strikes of our attack aircraft, bombers, Katyusha and artillery around dozens and hundreds of wrecked and burned cars, everything was littered with half-burnt papers, folders, documents. Therefore, there are no archives of the Wehrmacht units destroyed here at that time. It was also in many other places and times. As a translator, he talked a lot and for a long time with the Germans, both with front-line soldiers and with their children. Front-line soldiers, if they could be called to frankness, talked about huge, at the level of 000-25%, losses in companies from the summer of 30 and later. They argued that, therefore, there were very few men left in Germany and all those memoirs that the generals wrote are full of propaganda and lies. Moreover, former rank and file infantrymen and an officer of the SS tank forces, the commander of the Panther company in 1944 in the Czech Republic, also argued this. And the children of front-line soldiers whom today are 1945 years old, and more than 80 people knew such, said that all their fathers died, and only 36 in the West. And memoirs are really a very subjective thing. I am translating the memoirs of the pilot Ju-2 Stahl, and so he writes about the times of the battle near Moscow and later and not a single word about losses, and then suddenly: "... Only two aircraft remained from the regiment and our regiment was sent to re-form and replenish the rear . "

    "German trophies were: 75,2-mm howitzer, 3 mortars, 5 anti-tank rifles, 4 heavy and 19 light machine guns, 39 submachine guns, 277 rifles, 18 pistols. Also captured: a movie camera, 100 leather coats, 3000 pants, 284 horses, 253 cows, 440 centners (German centner - 50 kg; 22 tons) of potatoes, 97 carts. 243 partisan camps, 1885 dugouts, 8 villages and a distillery were destroyed.

    German losses during operations against partisans: killed - 5 officers, 83 non-commissioned officers and soldiers, 31 "eastern assistants" (Ostfreiwillige, Soviet citizens who helped the Germans); wounded - 2 officers, 169 non-commissioned officers and soldiers, 44 assistants; missing - 2 officers, 27 non-commissioned officers and soldiers, 12 assistants. Defectors from the Germans to the partisans are also mentioned: 3 assistants and 5 hivis (Hilfswillige, Soviet citizens who entered service in the Wehrmacht unit).

    The Germans lost weapons: one anti-tank gun, two mortars, two heavy and 14 light machine guns, 3 submachine guns, 10 pistols, 2 rocket launchers and 25 rifles (TsAMO RF, f. 500, op. 12472, d. 623, l. 53 −54).

    So, from this report it is clear that the Germans won in most battles and inflicted very significant losses on the partisans. During the month, killed, taken prisoner (and escaped), the partisans lost 2175 people, or 11% of the number of detachments. German losses were almost ten times less: killed, wounded and missing - 288 people (without assistants and hivi).
    "
    It would be nice for the author to doubt his conclusions. With comparable losses of weapons from the Germans and partisans, human losses differ by almost an order of magnitude. From the almost identical losses in artillery and machine-gun armament, the conclusion is drawn that the Germans almost always won, as in this case. Personally, I got the feeling that in this situation there were tough battles for both sides. And the question is: whom did the Germans, annoyed by such large losses (at least in weapons), write down as the killed partisans? Civilians burned or otherwise destroyed for complicity? Or will the author undertake to assert that this did not happen? I can tell him several settlements where "there was nothing like this", in which I personally heard from the residents how it was, how the Germans fought the partisans and how many "partisans" were shot at the age of 10 and a little older.

    The message of the article can be expressed in one phrase:
    “The Germans always recorded everything accurately and truthfully, and the partisans were busy with the additions.
    And this is argued ...
    ... For the most part, the guerrillas could not find out about the concrete results of an attack or sabotage, since they had to retreat quickly so as not to fall under a retaliation or pursuit.

    The guerrillas did not operate in a vacuum. The author forgets that there were underground workers and partisan intelligence officers who carried out reconnaissance before and after operations.

    If it comes to that, the Germans were engaged in postscripts and distortions as much, if not more, than the partisans.
    We look:
    The losses of the partisans: 1510 people were killed, 641 were taken prisoner, 24 fled to the Germans, 873 were arrested as partisans' accomplices or suspects ...

    Compare with trophies:
    German trophies were: 75,2-mm howitzer, 3 mortars, 5 anti-tank rifles, 4 heavy and 19 light machine guns, 39 submachine guns, 277 rifles, 18 pistols.

    "also defectors from partisan detachments" author child? !
    Agree that it is unnatural if a defector, or rather a traitor, says "I am an ideological Bolshevik" (then this expression was used).
    "The testimony of the prisoners" will be frank: the majority of those taken prisoner tried to downplay their position. For example, in the novel: "Shield and Sword", Weiss (Belov) watched the cases of prisoners in concentration camps, "a soldier of the funeral team, a Ukrainian with a Russian surname" Belov drew attention to this, if it turns out that he is a famous Stakhanovite

    Aha "The Germans have all the moves written down" ... They are written down, but whether those moves or all, and most importantly HOW ... The counts of the dead can also be counted in different ways. In the USA, for example, a person is considered KIA (Killed in action) only if he died within 3 hours of EMNIP after injury. And then he is no longer KIA but DOW (Died of Wounds), so when his own losses are 5 people, but 4 of them lived for 3 hours, then ours honestly report to the newspapers: our losses are KIA - one person. About the fact that four more died from wounds, no one will know except their relatives. But everything is fair. :-). As classified and reported. About enemy losses. Back in Vietnam, there was a joke among American soldiers: 3 confirmed kills + 7 probables + 1 pig + 2 goats = 37 Viet Kong killed. (3 confirmed killed enemies + 7 possibly killed enemies + pig + 2 goats = 37 killed Viet Cong).
    During the same Vietnam, if an American plane reached the aircraft carrier, or to its territory, landed (normally or on a forced basis), and the plane was mutilated so that it was not worth repairing, the plane was written off, but it was NOT PROTECTED in the KILLED in battle. Have you reached your own? Yes. Is the pilot alive? Yes. Means not downed. Sometimes such aircraft were even written off as "crashed during landing approach due to severe meteorological conditions." By the way, the truth about the downed planes is found indirectly. For example, according to the report of the air rescue service of the Air Force or the Navy, how many flight personnel they evacuated from enemy territory.


    You can record as you like. The paper, you know, it will hold up. This does not mean that German documents, or even American ones, should be immediately dismissed as "nonsense and propaganda", and all Soviet documents should be taken as 100% truth ("Yes, write more, son, why should these Turks be sorry" - A.V. Suvorov ). I'm not saying that all the planes that our pilots crashed or that crashed due to technical reasons were shot down by Vietnamese pilots (especially Li Xing Qing). Everything should be CRITICAL and sober. And there is no difference who the partisan slammed - a local policeman or some kind of German. The enemy is killed and that's the end of it. yes, the partisans will write down the killed GERMAN for themselves, and the German officer will say that "there are no losses among the German soldiers"

    The best example - a tanker shoots at an enemy tank, fixes the hit and exit of the tank by the enemy crew, writes down the victory for himself (he shot, hit, the crew left the car). The tank remains on enemy territory, it is evacuated, repaired, and a week later the same tank is knocked out again. And already TWO tankers write down the same tank as "destroyed".

    The victories of many German aces also need to be treated with great doubt. Especially if "the documents have disappeared, everything except your own book", and you can write anything in the book. And before gasping, you need to trivially calculate who made how many sorties. Hartman, Glinka or Boilinton.

    About the "partisans". Yes, no one really understands who is partisan and who is not. For example, we did not understand especially who is the Taliban and who is not the Taliban. The fire was opened immediately at the slightest suspicion of aggressive behavior. Without warning. Because there were enough cases when our guys delayed to open fire, and very much regretted it. And no one wants to go to the next world or go home without some part of the body - we went to the army to earn money for college, get a profession, understand a little about life and family, and some of them for the sharp sensations, and not to be killed or crippled. They grabbed the suspicious and turned them over to the military police, let them figure it out. But then they reported that, they say, "They detained a suspected enemy combatant. Another example. From personal experience. We were fired upon from one house. We opened fire at the house in response. And from ma dusov (On the Humvee they And then they showered them with grants, getting closer. When we went into the collapsed, there were naturally corpses. Different. The spectacle is not disingenuous, it will easily vomit for the first time. And not the first time it can. Tear gold from corpses. crowns, this is not everyone can. In "destroyed enemy fighters" they recorded everyone. When you, precious, are shot from the house and your friends are wounded or killed, you will not be able to figure out who is in the house of the Taliban and who simply lives there. Nothing personal, but better you than me.

    Another example. According to all the laws, it seems like it is impossible to shoot people with large-caliber machine guns, only for equipment / equipment .. But ours did shoot, and to the questions of officers or sergeants, "Why are you shooting at people, it's not according to the charter," the shooters cheerfully answered " did not shoot at a person, but at a flask on his belt "or" shot at a machine gun on his chest. " Technically, everything is according to the law. I was shooting at the flask ... But where did I get there.

    about one captain of the Yagdkommando (Partisan Hunters).
    a year and a half ago, an acquaintance calls and says that a bunch of German uniforms fell into his hands for one owner, and a huge bunch of other things, he walked down the street and saw that someone was putting boxes near the entrance (this is how the Germans often do to get rid of unnecessary things). asked who and why, it turned out that the grandfather had died and the relatives did not want to have any business with the Nazi things, they gave him a couple more boxes in exchange for one hundred euros.
    He called me here to come and appreciate everything that he got, the purpose of resale. He did not get sour, 3 sets of field officers' uniforms of Captain Yagdkommando in excellent condition with awards, one set of a new African uniform, maps of partisan locations on Soviet territory, two boxes, a Soviet officer's tablet with a set of pencils and pens, cameras with films, a German dagger and a bunch of little things.
    so only one cap from the set of the African corps costs right now at auction from 1600 €.

    I read 4 paragraphs and the comment matured. The abundance of links obscures the eye so much that it completely knocks common sense out of the head ...

    The railway is the circulatory system of war. It is very expensive to move troops and, above all, equipment on the roads. Therefore, a banal simple railway line for only 24 hours means that hundreds of tons of ammunition and equipment will not be delivered to the front (in this particular case for the enemy). Indeed, on a single-track road there is not one train and not two per day.

    The simple railway track (Smolensk) mentioned in the article at 582 hours is 25 (!) DAYS. 25 days in November 1942 is "only" 1/6 of the duration of the battle for Stalingad. How much during this time is not taken out for the repair of equipment and unexploited shells and equipment - I leave it to think for ourselves. And look for that "straw" breaking the back of a camel on your own.

    The Panfilovites in 1941 had to detain the Germans "only" for 3 days in order to close the gap in the defense of Moscow.



    Did the guerrillas "overstate" the damage and did not talk about attacks on industrial facilities? Probably, they should have carried out an assessment of the damage in the control group together with the fascist command.

    - Hey, Fritz, let’s see how we screwed your tail here ...
    - Bad Sofetsky partisan !!! Go see how you spoil us well here.

    And industrial facilities behind enemy lines tend to become ENEMY industrial facilities. Can you imagine ?! - Here is such a nuisance.

    Do not hide behind numbers and pages: while you do not understand the economics and mathematics of war, not a single "work with documents" will convey to you an understanding of what a train with ammunition that did not come due to a guerrilla sortie near Rzhev.

So I had to listen to THEIR stories, and not the stories of Epishev. My uncle lost his leg in a partisan unit. My countrywoman, Elena Mazanik, blew up the Gauleiter of Belarus von Kube, I was lucky to meet with Panteleimon Kondratyevich Ponamorenko (chief of staff of the partisan movement), with Lieutenant General Laskin, who personally took Paulus prisoner.

    Now the couch partisans know that partisans are very difficult and dangerous. And the partisans themselves and local residents ..
    And undermining the rail is a very risky venture. And ineffective from your point of view. However, ammunition and equipment not delivered on time saved more than one life.
    Do you not know that a rifle delivered to the position will kill our soldiers. And in another battle, ammunition not delivered on time led to unjustified losses of personnel and already occupied and equipped positions.
    For example, I know a veteran who, under enemy fire, delivered ammunition to guards mortars in a truck on time, for which he was awarded the medal "For Military Merit", about which there are copies of documents in the Book of Memory.

    If you believe all the German documents, it turns out that they shot down many more of our planes than they actually existed. The Germans are certainly pedants, but they also liked to lie. The material can be called interesting, if not for the prejudiced attitude of the author.
    Probably just such people and worked on the railway for the Germans?
    But what, after all, German propaganda claimed that it was fighting Bolshevism, not the Russians. It is not clear just where the 27 million killed came from, if only 11 of them were Red Army soldiers? However, the author will probably find an answer to this question too. With time.

When he sat down, there were already flowers, flags, a garland around his neck at the airfield (as we met Stakhanov from the face), and the next morning the commander of JG-52 called him and said: " Congratulations! The Fuhrer awarded you with Diamonds. "And not the slightest hint that someone tried to check this story that he shot down 11 planes in one day and in two battles.

    At the age of 12, my mother went to the obligatory work on cleaning the roadside zone of the Brest-Baranovichi tracks from small forests. Her daddy and my grandfather scored for these works because he had a misunderstanding with the German foreman of those works. The German did not sputter in Russian and therefore engaged in assault, giving my grandfather a slap in the face. After that, my grandfather gave up on compulsory work, but my grandmother, fearing the consequences of grandfather's sabotage, sent my mother, then a teenager, to those work.

    According to the Germans, the Germans basically did not pursue the partisans in the North no further than 5 km, the Finns 15 km. Finnish pursuit tactics, walk parallel to the tracks of the partisans 150 meters and wait until they get tired and attack at that moment.

    I will add only on my own behalf that a "patriotic" lie is no less dangerous than a Russophobic or anti-Soviet lie, call it what you want. In the USSR, they lied to us one thing, in Yeltsin's Russia - another, now the third is lying. The attack on history is being carried out on all fronts - from ancient times to modern times - and from several directions - ultrapatriotic, liberal-nihilistic, and several intermediate ones.
    History, as a science, these attacks do not bother with the word "absolutely" - in the scientific community some mad theories, such as, for example, about the statistic millions destroyed by Stalin in the GULAG or the Great Tartary of Fomenko, like the theory of "Flat Land", of course not pass. But this, in fact, is not required to successfully undermine the ideological base in the country. To load the information space of an ordinary man in the street with all sorts of radical pseudoscientific theories is a completely different matter. Their primitiveness, ease of understanding and a huge variety, so that everyone will find it to their liking, give pseudosciences a huge advantage over science itself, which is boring and trivial because it is too logical and consistent.
    Research such as this article is needed, and the author, of course, can be thanked for the attempt, I emphasize, the attempt to conduct an objective study of the issue raised, albeit a weak one, but an attempt.

    So, the author, quite seriously, based on the archives: there was a particularly large partisan movement (as they show in the films, there was not). And in some regions of the USSR, it did not even begin. There were scattered foci, which only by the middle of 1943 acquired combat-ready significance.

    "... But it went to another area, and after a few weeks it was overgrown with those who wanted to fight against the Germans, by persuasion or force they mobilized into detachments, acquired weapons and were ready to fight again ..."
    The author should decide what resulted in the replenishment of partisan detachments, otherwise "those who want to fight" and forced mobilization "somehow do not fit well. This is how the saying about cowards and a cross begs ...
    Of course, the achievements and successes of the partisans were often exaggerated. And this was fully justified, at least from a political point of view. But why is it proposed to take German data on faith. Just because the papers survived? So the paper endures everything, incl. and outright lies.

    Of course - this article is very biased towards the Krauts as some very neat guys (although the Socialist slogan - ACCOUNTING AND CONTROL - has not been canceled even in the Red Army) but ... but - what if you ask about this article in matters of partisan everyday life of our respected comrade Kovpak Sidor Batkovich - and ??? I think that I will approximately understand the group of complex words he said on the issue of operational actions of partisan detachments... hee-hee-hee!!

    The author should remember that the partisan movement involved both spontaneously grouped citizens, and there could be Red Army soldiers, civilians, and just outright bandit elements, as well as NKVD-NKGB groups consisting of professional military personnel, who soon “grew up” with the population those areas where they worked and a full-fledged detachment of several thousand people was obtained. So the first ones could have been such partisan bandits who reduced all their activities solely to the search for food. Special groups and detachments based on them acted completely differently, although they could have made mistakes like everyone else.
    As for efficiency..., EMPNIP I. Starinov himself said that the “rail war”, or rather its beginning, was ineffective due to the fact that the leadership decided to undermine not the trains, but the rails. But one can imagine at what cost even this work was given. As for the rest, this is all secondary - the main thing is the roads!
    Well, regarding the fact that the Germans documented everything truthfully, and ours lied at every corner - this is obvious nonsense. As mentioned above, Luftwaffe reports refute this!

    The author should have known that “the political instructors of Comrade Epishev” (in this phrase, weighing the author’s incompetence) had nothing to do with the partisan movement; it was purely under the jurisdiction of the party and the Soviet authorities. another armchair pseudo-historian and pseudo-analyst

    I'm disgusted by such opuses. A priori, you can only trust the Germans. The formation of the partisan movement was difficult and bloody, since personnel trained in partisan warfare and their bases were destroyed by Yezhov. You can’t fight the Germans with patriotism alone; they are experienced warriors. Almost all successful partisan commanders are either professionals from the NKVD or those who were trained in the 30s, for example Kovpak. The partisan movement cannot be assessed by explosions alone; by the way, the author indicates the figures for the explosions of rails and bridges together. But it’s one thing to blow up a rail; one 200-gram bomb is enough; another thing is to blow up a bridge. The damage is clearly disproportionate. In Europe, the Germans walked wherever they wanted; in the Czech Republic, Heydrich traveled without security. In the USSR, they sat behind triple security; it was forbidden to drive in single cars. Regarding political workers. The author seems to know no one except Epishev, even if he remembered Brezhnev. The Germans had an order for commissars. They were shot on the spot, seeing a star on their sleeve, and this is clearly not for the “postscripts” that this “expert” cares about.

    Yes, listen to the author, they were forced to join the partisans, come up with something like that, who was in the partisans, let’s start with this, mostly men no longer of military age, for one reason or another they remained in the occupied territory, but the soldiers of the Red Army “nailed” to them Well, this was at the beginning of the war, until our command began to somehow control and supply these units, there were big problems with communications. Yes, and which of the partisans would surrender and then go straight to the gallows, it’s better to die a hero with a clear conscience than a traitor. The Germans were merciless, and they hanged them specifically to enhance the intimidation effect, although they could have shot, but it doesn’t look as impressive as hanging, but in a square, somewhere in some village or town, and even if the body would hang for several days. Who will surrender after this, only they did not understand that this made people even more embittered and of course the partisans did not take prisoners unless there was such a special purpose, there was nothing to eat. So Glory to our people’s heroes, many of who laid down their lives for the right to exist of our country.

    Quote "For a correct understanding: blowing up a train and derailing it does not always mean a complete cessation of transportation. In the photo: on one track there is a train lying on its side, and the second track is free for traffic."

    Ah, well, I understand. Those. , if the reduction in traffic is not complete, but, say, by 80 percent, then it no longer counts?

    The author’s strange manner of feigning objectivity by citing only German reports. If someone wants to do an analysis, they need to provide data from both sides. By the way, about German “objectivity”. Not a single commander will harm himself in reports and thereby jeopardize his status in the eyes of his superiors. Well, there are a great many ways to decorate. Read the memoirs of German generals, where they “defeated” Russia a thousand times. But everything went wrong because of the “Russian men” and “General Moroz.”

    The author’s holy faith in German documents is simply touching... They lied shamelessly, because their leadership would not have patted them on the head for heavy losses, straight to the front and rather to a penal battalion (yes_yes).
    I haven't read cranberries like this for a long time.
