On July 22, 1944, in the area of ​​the settlement of Brody (now Lviv Oblast, Ukraine), the 14th Grenadier Division of the SS Galichina (Galicia) was defeated along with other formations of the 13th Corps of the 4th tank army of the Wehrmacht. According to historians, the troops of the 1st Ukrainian Front destroyed at least 28 thousand Nazis, more than 17 thousand were taken prisoner.

On July 22 of 1944, under the Brody forces of the 1-th Ukrainian Front, the SS Galicia division was defeated


The fighting took place in the framework of the Lvov-Sandomierz operation of the Red Army.

To conduct defensive battles with the advancing Red Army SS division “Galichina”, a section more than 30 km wide of the second line of defense was entrusted (the Wehrmacht command planned to use three such lines, but in the end they did not manage to create a third line). The command of the 13th Corps believed that Soviet troops could break through the defense line only in one place, but as a result, the breakthrough took place in two directions at once: the Ternopol-Lviv road and to the north-west of the important Brody transport hub. As a result, the Galicia division near Brody was taken into “pincers”, then completely surrounded (getting into the surroundings and boilers for the Bandera formations of Ukraine is historical given ...). After the command of the 1st Ukrainian Front gave the order to conduct an operation to destroy the SS division "Galicia", for which it was involved aviation, barrel and rocket artillery.

The German archives contain a noteworthy letter addressed to the German General Lindemann, dated July 1944 of the year, in which it is reported: “the“ Galicia ”division is out of control”.

As a result, "Galicia" was almost completely broken. By the fall of 1944, the ranks of survivors in the cauldron under Brody were replenished with representatives of other punitive divisions, again turning the formation into a grouping of policemen called upon to crack down on opponents of Nazi Germany in the occupied territories of Eastern Europe.

Regarding the defeat of the SS division "Galicia" by the units of the 1 of the Ukrainian Front under the fords, the Ukrainian authorities and Western "partners" today for some reason do not say that "the Ukrainians defeated the Ukrainians." On the other hand, Prime Minister Yatsenyuk and the Foreign Minister of Poland not so long ago insisted that the Ukrainians liberated the prisoners of the Auschwitz-Birkenau (Auschwitz) death camp, since the front was the 1-m Ukrainian ...

          Those who should have served in the Wehrmacht, who would have ended up there anyway. Former Austrian and Hungarian citizens, who were attributed to the Ukrainian SSR together with land taken by Stalin as a pre-field.
          Residents of the Ukrainian SSR served in the Red Army. The Ukrainian SSR is a territory that temporarily (1917-1922) fell out of control while there was no central authority (the monarchy decayed, but only formed a new one).
          During these 5 years, the Skoropadsky-Petliura and other bandits-atamans called this land the word "Ukraine", which does not make "Ukrainians" a reality. How many geeks were in the history of the Grand Duchy of Kiev, Hetmanate, Little Russia, USR, Ukrainian SSR ... About the present a glove misunderstanding and do not want to speak.

          Nothing of its own in the history of the Outskirts. The language was invented by the Austro-Hungarians in the 1794 year, where for six words there are four Polish, one German and one Russian. The same story with the flag and name. Without bothering themselves, the outside managers simply took the flag of their Lower Austria. This yellow-blue craziness we see today. There are Belarus, Little Russia, New Russia. All these are parts of the one Russian World that the Anglo-Saxons are trying to tear, bite or trick away from mainland Russia. The struggle is centuries-old, but Donbass is not Texas, and Odessa is not Chicago. We don’t need someone else’s, but we’ll give everything back.

        Well, that ukrokhunta is silent, it is understandable, but the Kremlin's "strategists" could officially, through the press and TV, as well as through diplomatic channels, congratulate the main Kiev Nazis on this unforgettable date.
        They are probably afraid of angering their Western partners, or they don’t know anything from the history of the Great Patriotic War, except for 9May.

      About the policemen - that's for sure. My grandfathers told me that on the way to Stalingrad through the Rostov region, the Germans dragged crowds (you cannot call them units) of policemen, usually Romanians and Ukrainians. The Romanians were "normal", so to speak. Those who could be released were allowed to go home. And the Khokhlo_politsa were end-to-end creatures. Nothing has changed since then apparently.

        Yes, it was, by order of Manstein, that people who could hold weapons by age and disease would take away with them when they retreated. God forbid that the Red Army could call into its ranks. After the war, all historians of the world condemned his order.

        This is a cross for military merit; there was no cross for military merit. He, like the knight's cross, had options with and without swords and was considered a high award.
        Iron crosses were 39 years old and not 37 years old. He was awarded the Iron Cross of the 2nd class only on the day of the award, and then only the corresponding ribbon in his buttonhole.

            As for the pouches, I believe that they were not for the MP-38/40, but for the Italian 9 mm Beretta 38-42 submachine gun, which was also in service with both the Wehrmacht and the Waffen SS.
            The stores for Beretta were with a capacity of 20 and 40 rounds - it seemed to be short for a store with a capacity of 20 rounds - and therefore shorter than usual (with a capacity of 30). hi

So after all, apart from Italian weapons, the Germans did not shun, for example, using Czech ZB-26 \ 30 machine guns (60 thousand units) captured after the occupation of Czechoslovakia, as well as captured Polish VIS pistols, which were also produced after the occupation of Poland ... About use Wehrmacht Soviet PPSh and SVT and 76 mm. I think it is unnecessary to mention artillery guns (a fairly well-known fact) ..

                  There is no such thing, Europe and the USA. But in our museums, hangs SVD, during the war, SVT, PPS, PPSh, PPD. What do you mean by this, they released weapons, since they were in the German Union of Europe. Before them remove the hat. I wrote about the war in Russia, they came with their weapons, got a hat. Once again I say, the Magyars occupied Voronek. Their weapons flickered out of sight there, but the Germans didn’t see them, not because the ammunition didn’t fit, they were just on the flanks and moved away, which the Germans naturally didn’t like.

      In the photo, the servicemen of the Waffen SS. Eagle badge on the sleeve. Two privates were awarded the "Iron Cross" 2nd class. Photo after the award ceremony. The cross was worn in exceptional cases, the rest of the time a ribbon was worn. In the center. Brigadenfuehrer SS (though very young). Most likely a party functionary. There are no combat awards. "Military Merit Cross 1st Class" without swords. Party badge and similar order of the Red Cross 2nd class. Anyone can find the statute and rules for wearing these awards in the internet. On the buttonhole at the right one looks like the symbol of the Waffen SS division "Skandenberg". 21st Mountain Rifle. She did not participate in battles against the Red Army.
      True, they were not worn on the buttonholes, but I represent the sleeve insignia ...

      It looks like these bandits have nothing to do with the Galicia division, although they are all scum and war criminals ...

      Not all SS men (Bandera) were destroyed. After so many years, the struggle has been going on again with fascism in Ukraine. Apparently fascism from survivors of that war is transmitted at the genetic level!

      If you believe modern ukroistorikami, then the Ukrainian army-front, which liberated Europe, accidentally crumbled into a small salad of true Ukrainian patriots who fought (now to insert - "this is a turn") with the Germans and Russians. Well, how can all this heresy fit into the head of a modern Ukrainian, if the roof doesn't go down first?

      This is a glorious victory of the RED ARMY - THE SOVIET PEOPLE, and the leadership of the great country and citizens. It is not necessary to carry out succession between the leadership of the USSR and the leadership of Russia - all partners as partners. The modern leaders do not finish off the fascists - they cherish the fascist elite, agree so, so as not to offend the greatest partner.
