All of this was evil, but a reenactment group is not responsible.
Ugh. You're really hopeless.
That would be like my unit talking on the web site about the blacks that served in the Union being put back or sold into slavery, and their white officers shot.
Except we're talking in one instance about a general historical event (blacks being put into slavery) whereas in the other case we're referring to actions taken directly by those whom are being impersonated and glorified as freedom fighters. Once again, you completely miss.
That is a hell of an exaggeration! From 700 to 1,000,000!!!
Interesting:
wiki said:The German 1st Mountain Division is also suspected of being implicated. Between 50 and 60 Jews were killed in this manner, as a part of the larger Einsatzgruppe operation which resulted in over 700 murders
wiki said:According to their own records, the Einsatzgruppen murdered more than one million people, almost all civilians, beginning with the Polish intelligentsia
I can't find the information in the source listed for the 700, but the one million is well documented, it seems.
Ah, here we go:
wiki said:Members of the division's bakery column, led by Obersturmführer Braunnagel and Untersturmführer Kochalty, assisted Einsatzgruppe A in rounding up Ukrainian Jews. Witnesses report that the Jewish victims were forced to run a gauntlet formed by soldiers who would beat them as they passed, and when they reached the end of the gauntlet, Einsatzgruppen officers murdered them and their bodies were pushed into a bomb crater. The German 1st Mountain Division is also suspected of being implicated. Between 50 and 60 Jews were killed in this manner, as a part of the larger Einsatzgruppe operation which resulted in over 700 murders[8]
So they assisted Einsatzgruppe A as part of the broader Einsatzgruppen who was responsible for around 1,000,000 deaths.
Ned Racine said:Just to clarify things further - I'll make a stretch here. Mr.KC is familiar with the Nazi's and their Eintzgruppen activities in Poland And Russia. This includes the Mega incident at Babi Yar. He also knows that one reason the Ukranians welcomed the Germans initially and were glad the Jews were being taken care of was in some instances the fact that many of the more reprehensible Commisars and worse in the Stalin era were Jewish including total vermin like Nikolay Yerzhov & Genrikh Yagoda.
He also KNOWS that Stalin's NKVD after Poland was invaded from the East by Stalin also participated in Murder especially the Katyn massacres. He also knows that in July 1944 Stalin waited until the "risen up" Polish Home Army in Warsaw was essentially destroyed by the Germans. He wanted the Non Communist Poles eliminated as much as possible.
He identifies himself as a Red (possibly saw Reds with warren Beatty too often (??) ) and knows some will be irritated by it. His memories are very selective.
Open a thread if you want to whine about my views on Lenin. Maybe I'll actually respond.
