52

The Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (FSB RF) has declassified data from the archives, testifying to Nazi crimes in Crimea. The documents refer to the massacres of the civilian population of the peninsula in a concentration camp located near the Krasny state farm near Simferopol.

It is reported by the news agency. RIA News, referring to the press service of the State Council of the Republic of Crimea.



Among the declassified documents is a copy of the 1969 decree to initiate a criminal case concerning the massacres of Soviet citizens. The office work was opened to continue the search for evidence against the former commander of a number of Sonderkommando SS Obersturmbannfuehrer Paul Zapp, who at that time was under arrest.

According to the vice-speaker of the Crimean State Council Viktor Bobkov, the SS man is accused of personal participation in the murder of 13,5 civilians on the peninsula. For this he was arrested again in Germany, where he was sentenced to life imprisonment.


Bobkov also recalled that Zapp was released ahead of schedule, in 1986, after which he lived for many more years - up to 94 years.

Among the declassified documents are the testimonies of local residents, including translators who entered the service of the Germans.

The first archival documents about torture and executions in a concentration camp near the Krasny state farm were declassified by the FSB in November 2020.

      The SS man is accused of personal involvement in the murder of 13,5 thousand civilians on the peninsula. For this he was arrested again in Germany, where he was sentenced to life imprisonment. Zapp was released ahead of schedule, in 1986, after which he lived for many more years - up to 94 years.

      The publication says that Zapp suffered a well-deserved punishment, and was released after 16 years of imprisonment with clear advice.
      During the trial, Zapp stated that his task was to make death as easy as possible for the victims:
      "On the occasion of the big execution in Nikolaev, he tried to shoot a Jew who jumped into a pit with dead bodies, but this was done not out of racial hatred, but out of" pity. "He wanted to" spare "the man, as he was suffocating under the mountain of bodies."

        I am sure that all the descendants of veterans who went through the Great Patriotic War remember the feats and sacrifices of their relatives. The Immortal Regiment confirms this.
        There are, it is the non-humans who have betrayed the memory of their ancestors.
        They twist history along with the surviving Nazis and their descendants.
        Therefore, they are dosed in the nose with declassified DOCUMENTS, namely a document against words and memories.

          "For many, the action is not clear -" declassified-declassified the crimes of the Nazis, "what does that mean. Did they make it secret to fool our people?"
          That, not. They don't keep such things secret for a year or two.
          There, people have their own games.
          For example, to identify local comrades who carefully helped in the events. Here, as Comrade Sukhov taught, it is a delicate matter.
          Abdullah had to be taken through a pipe (as it turned out later).

        And the Nazi accomplices in Crimea also need to be declassified, out of 20000 thousand Crimean Tatars called to the front, almost the same number of Crimean Tatars went over to the side of the Nazis, and how they mocked the prisoners should also be declassified.

        Namely, the ratio of the Crimean Tatars in the German army and among the partisans will be more than 30 to 1, not in favor of the defenders of Soviet power. Not so long ago:
        "In order to relieve social tension, it was decided to remove from the textbook the entire section devoted to forced or deliberate interaction with the Nazis of representatives of various nationalities who lived in Crimea during the Great Patriotic War."
        State Duma deputy Ruslan Balbek complained about the textbook. He noted that the authors of the book represented part of the Crimean Tatars as assistants to the German invaders.
        The parliamentarian demanded that the authors apologize and remove the textbooks from schools. One of the co-authors of the publication said that he was not going to apologize, and the deputy was demanding "to rewrite history." The Council of Crimean Tatars asked to withdraw the textbooks and bring to justice those involved in their publication.
        Subsequently, the books were withdrawn from school and public libraries.

      Vladimir! They were named long ago, but now they are being retouched.



      In the summer of 1972, six guards from this concentration camp were tried in Simferopol. They were sentenced to capital punishment. And in the fall of 1974, the second trial took place over three members of the 152nd SD Volunteer Battalion, who were related to Red. Three more collaborators who served in punitive units were convicted in 1977. All these courts were called "Crimean Nuremberg" in the press.

      First, the main task immediately after the war was to filter the returned prisoners. Those who were captured voluntarily, surrendered with weapons, collaborated with the Germans, such were identified in the first place. Then they dealt with traitors and deserters in the ranks of the army, as well as prisoners of war of all stripes. Only after having dealt with the living did they set about the dead, incl. the exhumation of mass graves was taken up more closely. Analyzes, interviews with local residents, criminal cases, investigation.
      Secondly, because you start to publish such documents and the names of collaborators of all stripes begin to slip through there. The same Crimean Tatars would have been cut out by the roots by the fifties by the "grateful neighbors" if the people knew the scale of their crimes immediately after the war.

    The first archival documents about torture and executions in a concentration camp near the Krasny state farm were declassified by the FSB in November 2020.

    “In April 1944, temporary monuments were erected on this territory,” says the director of the memorial, Sergei Zhuchenko. “In 1960, an obelisk was erected on the site of one of them. In the seventies, a number of trials took place over those who served in the concentration camp guard, During the preparation of these trials, new places of reprisals were revealed, and on January 29, 1972, the remains of 1806 victims of Nazi terror discovered during the preparation of investigative actions were reburied in a mass grave next to the obelisk. a foundation stone was installed in the grave.

    Everything has been known for a long time, in the 70s a series of trials took place
    https://cloud.mail.ru/public/8ssf/41xvqvfsx
    to continue the search for evidence against the former commander of a number of Sonderkommando SS Obersturmbannführer Paul Zapp, who at that time was under arrest.

    Where is the role of the 152nd Schutzmannschaft Battalion of the Auxiliary Police of the Schuma Order, formed from Crimean Tatar collaborators? After all, it was this battalion that did all this, which is confirmed by our courts ...

    Classification in Crimea continues. A couple of years ago, the "Prosveshchenie" publishing house published the textbooks "History of Crimea, Grade 10" for the twentieth century. The textbooks passed all examinations, were written by leading Crimean historians, agreed by leading officials of the Republic of Kazakhstan. It was written in an interesting way, as authentically and correctly as possible. But because of the storm of "indignation" of "interested persons", textbooks were withdrawn over the weekend as part of a real "special operation" from all libraries.
    There are many such tragic pages as the state farm "Red" in the military history of Crimea. With the appropriate political will, the descendants of the German Nazis could be repaired for hundreds of billions of EURO: to make them pay and repent, pay and repent ...

          There is no such reason. If the reputation of the leader suffers a little, so it's okay, the reputation of a saint will not threaten him anyway. The materials of criminal cases during the Great Terror really should not be touched, but the Second World War can be slowly opened.

        Yes, no one will even once a year climb all the existing secret documents and check if they have lost their relevance - they only follow the list with dates.
        Documents usually receive a classified status and storage period initially. For example, 25-50-75 years old.
