Which countries were on the side of Hitler. Who fought alongside Hitler? European allies of Germany

It so happened that representatives of world Jewry fought on the fronts of the Second World War both against the Nazis and for the Nazis!

About 500,000 Soviet Jews fought on the side of the USSR against the Nazis, and about 150,000 Jews fought on the side of Nazi Germany against the USSR.

It is also curious that during the Second World War, more than one person lived in the world. Hitler, but at least two!

One Hitler was in Nazi Germany, the other in the USSR!

The Nazi fascists had their own Hitler - Adolf Aloisovich, born in 1889, son of his father Alois Hitler (1837-1903) and his mother - Clara Hitler (1860-1907), who bore the surname before marriage Pölzl. I should note that in the pedigree of Adolf Aloisovich there was one small juicy detail. His father Alois Hitler was an illegitimate son in his parents' family. Until 1876 (until the age of 29) he bore the surname of his mother Maria Anna Schicklgruber(German: Schicklgruber). In 1842, Alois's mother, Maria Schicklgruber, married the miller Johann Georg Hiedler (Hiedler), who died in 1857. Alois Schicklgruber's mother died even earlier in 1847. In 1876, Alois Schicklgruber gathered three "witnesses" who, at his request, "confirmed" that Johann Georg Hiedler, who died 19 years ago, was Alois' real father. This perjury gave grounds for the latter to change his mother's surname - Schicklgruber - to his father's surname - Hiedler, which, when recorded in the book "registration of births", was changed to Jewish - Hitler. Historians believe that this change in the spelling of Hiedler's name to Hitler was not an accidental typo. Adolf Hitler's 29-year-old father, Alois, thus distanced himself from being related to his stepfather, Johann Georg Hiedler.

What for? Who was his real father?

In part, the answer to the last question is contained in documentary below. AND Historians claim that Alois Schicklgruber (Hitler) was the illegitimate son of one of the financial kings of the Rothschild family!
If so, then Adolf Hitler, it turns out, was also related to the Rothschilds. Obviously, the Rothschild banking family knew this very well, and therefore provided generous support in the 1930s. financial assistance Adolf Hitler in becoming his Fuhrer of the German nation.

At Soviet people, in the USSR, had its own Hitler- Semyon Konstantinovich, born in 1922, who served in the Red Army as a private.

Semyon Konstantinovich Hitler, during the defense of 174.5 heights of the Tiraspol fortified area 73 years ago, destroyed more than a hundred with the fire of his machine gun German soldiers. After that, wounded without ammunition, he left the encirclement. For this feat, Comrade Hitler was awarded the medal "For Courage". Subsequently, the Red Army soldier Hitler took part in the defense of Odessa. Together with her defenders, he crossed to the Crimea and died on July 3, 1942, defending Sevastopol.

JEWISH SOLDIERS HITLER

RIGG'S RADIES

He crossed Germany on a bicycle, sometimes doing 100 kilometers a day. For months, he lived on cheap jam sandwiches and peanut butter, slept in a sleeping bag near provincial train stations. Then there were raids in Sweden, Canada, Turkey and Israel. For six years, search trips lasted in the company with a video camera and a laptop computer.

In the summer of 2002, the world saw the fruits of this devotion: 30-year-old Brian Mark Rigg published his final work, Hitler's Jewish Soldiers: The Untold Story of Nazi Racial Laws and People Jewish origin in the German army.

Brian, an evangelical Christian (like President Bush), from a Texas Bible Belt working family, an Israel Defense Forces volunteer and a US Marine Corps officer, suddenly became interested in his past. Why did one of his ancestors serve in the Wehrmacht, while the other died in Auschwitz?

Behind Rigg was studying at Yale University, a grant from Cambridge, 400 interviews with Wehrmacht veterans, 500 hours of video evidence, 3,000 photographs and 30,000 pages of memoirs of Nazi soldiers and officers - those people whose Jewish roots allow them to repatriate to Israel even tomorrow. Rigg's calculations and conclusions sound quite sensational: up to 150,000 soldiers who had Jewish parents or grandparents fought in the German army on the fronts of World War II.

The term "mishlinge" in the Reich called people born from mixed marriages of Aryans with non-Aryans. The racial laws of 1935 distinguished between "Mishlinge" of the first degree (one of the parents is Jewish) and the second degree (grandparents are Jews). Despite the legal "corruption" of people with Jewish genes and despite the crackling propaganda, tens of thousands of "Mischlings" lived quietly under the Nazis. They were drafted into the Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine in the usual way, becoming not only soldiers, but also part of the generals at the level of commanders of regiments, divisions and armies.

Hundreds of Mischlings were awarded Iron Crosses for bravery. Twenty soldiers and officers of Jewish origin were awarded the highest military award of the Third Reich - the Knight's Cross. Veterans of the Wehrmacht complained to Rigg that the authorities were reluctant to introduce them to the orders and pulled with promotion in rank, mindful of their Jewish ancestors.

FATE

The revealed life stories might seem fantastic, but they are real and documented. So, an 82-year-old resident of the north of Germany, a believing Jew, served in the war as a Wehrmacht captain, secretly observing Jewish rituals in the field.

For a long time, the Nazi press placed on their covers a photograph of a blue-eyed blond in a helmet. Under the picture was: "The perfect German soldier." This Aryan ideal was the Wehrmacht fighter Werner Goldberg (with a Jewish dad).

Wehrmacht Major Robert Borchardt received the Knight's Cross for the tank breakthrough of the Russian front in August 1941. Then Robert was sent to Rommel's African Corps. Near El Alamein, Borchardt was captured by the British. In 1944, the prisoner of war was allowed to come to England to be reunited with his Jewish father. In 1946, Robert returned to Germany, telling his Jewish dad: "Someone must rebuild our country." In 1983, shortly before his death, Borchardt told German schoolchildren: "Many Jews and half-Jews who fought for Germany in World War II believed that they should honestly defend their fatherland by serving in the army."

Colonel Walter Hollander, whose mother was Jewish, received Hitler's personal charter, in which the Fuhrer certified the Aryan identity of this Halachic Jew. The same certificates of "German blood" were signed by Hitler for dozens of high-ranking officers of Jewish origin. Hollander during the war years was awarded the Iron Crosses of both degrees and a rare distinction - the Golden German Cross. Hollander received the Knight's Cross in July 1943, when his anti-tank brigade destroyed 21 soviet tank on the Kursk Bulge. Walter was given leave; he went to the Reich via Warsaw. It was there that he was shocked by the sight of the destroyed Jewish ghetto. Hollander returned to the front spiritually broken; personnel officers entered in his personal file - "too independent and little controllable", hacking his promotion to the rank of general. In October 1944, Walter was taken prisoner and spent 12 years in Stalin's camps. He died in 1972 in Germany.

The story of the rescue of Lubavitcher Rebbe Yosef Yitzhak Schneersohn from Warsaw in the autumn of 1939 is full of secrets. Chabad in the United States turned to Secretary of State Cordell Hull for help. The State Department agreed with Admiral Canaris, the head of military intelligence (Abwehr), on Schneerson's free passage through the Reich to neutral Holland. The Abwehr and the Rebbe found a common language: German intelligence officers did everything to keep America from entering the war, and the Rebbe used a unique chance to survive. Only recently it became known that the operation to evacuate the Lubavitcher Rebbe from occupied Poland was led by Lieutenant Colonel of the Abwehr Dr. Ernst Bloch—son of a Jew. Bloch defended the Rebbe from the attacks of the German soldiers accompanying him. This officer himself was "covered" by a reliable document: "I, Adolf Hitler, the Fuhrer of the German nation, hereby confirm that Ernst Bloch is of special German blood." True, in February 1945, this paper did not prevent Bloch from being dismissed. It is interesting to note that his namesake, a Jew Dr. Edward Bloch, in 1940 personally received permission from the Fuhrer to travel to the United States: he was a doctor from Linz who treated Hitler's mother and Adolf himself in his childhood.

Who were the "Mischlings" of the Wehrmacht - victims of anti-Semitic persecution or accomplices of the executioners? Life often put them in absurd situations. One soldier with an Iron Cross on his chest came from the front to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp to ... visit his Jewish father there. The SS officer was shocked by this guest: "If it were not for the award on your uniform, you would have quickly ended up in the same place where your father is."

Another story was told by a 76-year-old resident of Germany, 100% Jewish: in 1940 he managed to escape from occupied France using forged documents. Under a new German name, he was drafted into the Waffen-SS - selected combat units. "If I served in german army, and my mother died in Auschwitz, then who am I - a victim or one of the persecutors? The Germans, feeling guilty for what they have done, do not want to hear about us. The Jewish community is also turning its back on people like me, because our stories contradict everything that used to be considered the Holocaust."

LIST of 77s

In January 1944, the personnel department of the Wehrmacht prepared a secret list of 77 high-ranking officers and generals "mixed with the Jewish race or married to Jewish women." All 77 had Hitler's personal certificates of "German blood". Among those listed—23 colonels, 5 major generals, 8 lieutenant generals and two full army generals. Brian Rigg announces today. To this list one can add another 60 names of senior officers and generals of the Wehrmacht, aviation and navy, including two field marshals.

In 1940, all officers who had two Jewish grandparents were ordered to leave military service. Those who were "stained" by Jewishness only on the part of one of their grandfathers could remain in the army in ordinary positions. Reality was different—these orders were not carried out. Therefore, they were repeated to no avail in 1942, 1943 and 1944. There were frequent cases when German soldiers, driven by the laws of "front-line fraternity", hid "their Jews" without betraying them to party and punitive bodies. Such scenes of the 1941 model could well have taken place: a German company hiding "their Jews" captures Red Army soldiers, who, in turn, hand over "their Jews" and commissars for reprisal.

Former German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt, a Luftwaffe officer and grandson of a Jew, testifies: “Only in my air unit there were 15-20 guys like me. I am convinced that Rigg’s deep immersion in the problems of German soldiers of Jewish origin will open up new perspectives in studying military history Germany of the 20th century.

Rigg single-handedly documented 1,200 examples of mischlinge service in the Wehrmacht - soldiers and officers with the closest Jewish ancestors. A thousand of these front-line soldiers had 2,300 Jewish relatives killed—nephews, aunts, uncles, grandfathers, grandmothers, mothers and fathers.

One of the most sinister figures of the Nazi regime could add to the "list of 77". Reinhard Heydrich, the Fuhrer's favorite and head of the RSHA, who controls the Gestapo, criminal police, intelligence, counterintelligence, fought rumors of Jewish origin all his (fortunately short) life. Reinhard was born in Leipzig (1904), the son of a conservatory director. Family history says that his grandmother married a Jew shortly after the birth of the father of the future chief of the RSHA.
As a child, older boys often beat Reinhard, calling him a Jew (by the way, Eichmann was also teased at school as a "little Jew"), at the age of 16 he joins the Freikorps chauvinist organization to dispel rumors about a Jewish grandfather. In the mid-1920s, Heydrich served as a cadet on the Berlin training ship, where the future Admiral Canaris was the captain. Reinhard meets his wife Erica, arranges Haydn and Mozart's home violin concertos with her. But in 1931, Heydrich was dismissed from the army in disgrace for violating the code of officer honor (seducing the infant daughter of the ship's commander).

Heydrich ascends the Nazi ladder. The youngest SS Obergruppenführer (a rank equal to an army general) is intriguing against his former benefactor Canaris, trying to subdue the Abwehr. Canaris's answer is simple: at the end of 1941, the admiral hides photocopies of documents about Heydrich's Jewish origin in his safe.

It was the chief of the RSHA who held the Wannsee Conference in January 1942 to discuss the "final solution of the Jewish question." Heydrich's report clearly states that the grandchildren of a Jew are regarded as Germans and are not subject to repression. One day, returning home drunk to smithereens at night, Heydrich turns on the light in the room. Reinhard suddenly sees his own image in the mirror and shoots him twice with a pistol, shouting to himself, "Disgusting Jew!"

Air Field Marshal Erhard Milch can be considered a classic example of a "hidden Jew" in the elite of the Third Reich. His father was a Jewish pharmacist. Due to his Jewish origin, Erhard was not accepted into the Kaiser military schools, but the outbreak of the First World War gave him access to aviation, Milch got into the division of the famous Richthoffen, met the young ace Goering and distinguished himself at the headquarters, although he did not fly on airplanes. In 1920, Junkers provided patronage to Milch, promoting the former front-line soldier in his concern. In 1929, Milch became the general director of Lufthansa, the national air carrier. The wind was already blowing towards the Nazis, and Erhard provided free Lufthansa planes for the NSDAP leaders.

This service is unforgettable. Having come to power, the Nazis declare that Milch's mother did not have sex with her Jewish husband, and Erhard's true father is Baron von Beer. Goering laughed for a long time about this: "Yes, we made Milch a bastard, but an aristocratic bastard!" Another aphorism of Goering about Milch: "In my headquarters, I myself will decide who is a Jew and who is not!" Field Marshal Milch actually headed the Luftwaffe on the eve and during the war, replacing Goering. It was Milch who supervised the creation of the new Me-262 jet and V-missiles. After the war, Milch served nine years in prison, and then worked as a consultant for the Fiat and Thyssen concerns until the age of 80.

GRANDSONS OF THE REICH

The work of Brian Rigg is exposed to overexposure and perversion. Catastrophe deniers want to take advantage of scientific results—European and Islamic historians trying to dismiss the phenomenon of the Holocaust or downplay the scale of the genocide of the Jews.

By quoting Rigg, such scholars change the emphasis on minutiae. It is said, for example, about "Jewish soldiers" and even about "Hitler's Jewish army", while the author himself writes about soldiers of Jewish origin (children and grandchildren of Jews). The vast majority of Wehrmacht veterans reported in an interview that when they joined the army, they did not consider themselves Jews. These soldiers tried with their courage to refute the Nazi racial chatter. With triple zeal at the front, Hitler's soldiers proved that their Jewish ancestors did not prevent them from being good German patriots and staunch warriors.

Hasan Huseynzade, a Muslim historian from Minnesota, lists in his review: "Jewish soldiers served in the Wehrmacht, SS, Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine. Dr. Rigg's work should be read by anyone who studies or teaches World War II history." The mention of the SS is not accidental - now "ducks" will fly in the media about the service of Jews in the SS, although Rigg gave a single example of such a person (and even then with fake German documents). The readers will remain in the subconscious: "The Jews destroyed themselves, serving in the SS." This is how anti-Semitic myths are created.

Dr. Jonathan Steinberg, head of the Rigg project at the University of Cambridge, praises his student for his courage and overcoming the hardships of the study: "Bryan's findings make the reality of the Nazi state more complex."

The young American, in my opinion, not only broadens the picture of the Third Reich and the Holocaust, but also forces Israelis to take a fresh look at the usual definitions of Jewry. It was previously believed that in World War II, all Jews fought on the side of the anti-Hitler coalition. Jewish soldiers in the Finnish, Romanian and Hungarian armies were seen as exceptions to the rule.

Now Brian Rigg confronts us with new facts, leading Israel to an unheard of paradox. Let's think about it: 150 thousand soldiers and officers of the Nazi army could be repatriated according to the Israeli Law of Return. The current form of this law, spoiled by a late insert about the separate right of the grandson of a Jew to aliyah, allows thousands of Wehrmacht veterans to come to Israel!

Left-wing Israeli politicians are trying to defend the grandchildren amendment by saying that the grandchildren of a Jew were also persecuted by the Third Reich. Read Brian Rigg, gentlemen! The suffering of these grandchildren was often expressed in the delay of the next Iron Cross.

The fate of the children and grandchildren of German Jews once again shows us the tragedy of assimilation. The grandfather's apostasy from the religion of his ancestors hits like a boomerang all over the Jewish people and his German grandson, who is fighting for the ideals of Nazism in the ranks of the Wehrmacht. Unfortunately, the gallant flight from one's own "I" characterizes not only Germany of the last century, but also the Israel of today.

And now let's move to the present.

A "DPR" militiaman speaks to the camera: "We are confronted by "Jewish fascists". Now we are preparing to launch a volley at the fascist, ugly, nationalist scum ... Jewish! And their accomplices. Now there, on the other side, Jewish hundreds, Poles and others like them foreigners are fighting," reports " militia."

All of Europe fought against us

The very first strategic counter-offensive of the Soviet troops in the Great Patriotic War revealed a very unpleasant circumstance for the USSR. Among the captured enemy troops near Moscow there were many military units France, Poland, Holland, Finland, Austria, Norway and other countries. The imprint of almost all major European firms was found on captured military equipment and shells. In general, as one could assume and as they thought in the Soviet Union, that the European proletarians would never go up in arms against the state of workers and peasants, that they would sabotage the production of weapons for Hitler.

But exactly the opposite happened. A very characteristic find was made by our soldiers after the liberation of the Moscow region in the area of ​​​​the historical Borodino field - next to the French cemetery of 1812, they discovered fresh graves of Napoleon's descendants. The Soviet 32nd Rifle Division of the Red Banner, Colonel V.I. fought here. Polosukhin, whose fighters could not even imagine that they were being opposed "French allies".

A more or less complete picture of this battle was revealed only after the Victory. Chief of Staff of the 4th German Army G. Blumentritt published a memoir in which he wrote:

“The four battalions of French volunteers operating as part of the 4th Army turned out to be less persistent. At Borodin, Field Marshal von Kluge addressed them with a speech, recalling how, during the time of Napoleon, the French and Germans fought here side by side against a common enemy - Russia. The next day, the French boldly went into battle, but, unfortunately, they could not withstand either the powerful attack of the enemy or hard frost and blizzards. They had never had to endure such trials before. The French legion was defeated, having suffered heavy losses from enemy fire. A few days later he was taken to the rear and sent to the West ... "

Here is a curious archival document - a list of prisoners of war who surrendered Soviet troops during the war years. Recall that a prisoner of war is one who fights in uniform with a weapon in his hands.

Hitler takes the parade of the Wehrmacht, 1940 (megabook.ru)

So, Germans – 2 389 560, Hungarians – 513 767, Romanians – 187 370, Austrians – 156 682, Czechs and Slovaks – 69 977, Poles – 60 280, Italians – 48 957, French people – 23 136, Croats – 21 822, Moldovans – 14 129, Jews – 10 173, Dutch – 4 729, Finns – 2 377, Belgians – 2 010, Luxembourgers – 1652, Danes – 457, Spaniards – 452, gypsies – 383, Norse – 101, Swedes – 72.

And these are only those who survived and were captured. In reality, much more Europeans fought against us.

The ancient Roman senator Cato the Elder went down in history by the fact that he always ended any public speech on any topic with the words: "Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam", which literally means: "Otherwise, I believe that Carthage must be destroyed." (Carthage is a city-state hostile to Rome.) I am not ready to completely become like Senator Cato, but I will use any excuse to mention once again: in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945, the USSR, with an initial strength 190 million. people, fought not with 80 million of the then Germans. The Soviet Union fought practically with all Europe, the number of which (with the exception of England allied to us and partisan Serbia not surrendering to the Germans) was about 400 million. Human.

During the Great Patriotic War, overcoats in the USSR were put on by 34,476.7 thousand people, i.e. 17,8% population. And Germany mobilized in its military establishment already 21% from the population. It would seem that the Germans in their military efforts strained more than the USSR. But in the Red Army in large numbers women served, both voluntarily and by conscription. There were a lot of purely female units and divisions (anti-aircraft, aviation, etc.). During a period of desperate situation, the State Defense Committee decided (remaining, however, on paper) to create women's rifle formations, in which only heavy artillery loaders would be men.

And among the Germans, even at the moment of their agony, women not only did not serve in the army, but there were very few of them in production. Why is that? Because in the USSR one man accounted for three women, and in Germany - on the contrary? No, that's not the point. In order to fight, you need not only soldiers, but also weapons with food. And for their production, men are also needed, who cannot be replaced by women or teenagers. Therefore, the USSR was forced send women to the front instead of men.

The Germans did not have such a problem: they were provided with weapons and food by all of Europe. The French not only handed over all their tanks to the Germans, but also produced a huge amount of military equipment for them - from cars to optical rangefinders.

Czechs with only one firm "Skoda" produced more weapons than all of pre-war Great Britain, built the entire fleet of German armored personnel carriers, a huge number of tanks, aircraft, small arms, artillery and ammunition.

The Poles built airplanes, Polish Jews explosives, synthetic gasoline and rubber were produced in Auschwitz to kill Soviet citizens; the Swedes mined ore and supplied the Germans with components for military equipment (for example, bearings), the Norwegians supplied the Nazis with seafood, the Danes with oil ... In short, all of Europe tried its best.

And she tried not only to labor front. Only the elite troops of Nazi Germany - the SS troops - accepted into their ranks 400 thousand. "blonde beasts" from other countries, and in total they joined the Nazi army from all over Europe 1800 thousand. volunteers, forming 59 divisions, 23 brigades and several national regiments and legions.

The most elite of these divisions did not have numbers, but proper names pointing to national origin: "Walonia", "Galicia", "Bohemia and Moravia", "Viking", "Denemark", "Gembez", "Langemark", "Nordland", "Netherlands", "Charlemagne", etc.

Europeans served as volunteers not only in the national, but also in the German divisions. So let's say an elite German division "Greater Germany". It would seem that, if only because of the name, it should have been completed only by the Germans. However, the Frenchman who served in it Guy Sayer remembers that the day before Battle of Kursk in his infantry squad, out of 11 Germans, there were 9, and besides him, he did not understand well German also Czech. And all this in addition to the official allies of Germany, whose armies shoulder to shoulder burned and plundered the Soviet Union - Italians, Romanian, Hungarians, Finns, Croats, Slovaks, besides Bulgarians who at that time burned and plundered partisan Serbia. Even officially neutral Spaniards sent their "Blue Division" near Leningrad!

In order to evaluate by national composition all the European bastards who, in the hope of easy prey, climbed up to us to kill Soviet and Russian people, I will give a table of that part of the foreign volunteers who guessed to surrender to us in time:

Germans – 2 389 560, Hungarians – 513 767, Romanians – 187 370, Austrians – 156 682, Czechs and Slovaks – 69 977, Poles – 60 280, Italians – 48 957, French people – 23 136, Croats – 21 822, Moldovans – 14 129, Jews – 10 173, Dutch – 4 729, Finns – 2 377, Belgians – 2 010, Luxembourgers – 1652, Danes – 457, Spaniards – 452, gypsies – 383, Norse – 101, Swedes – 72.

This table, first published at the end of 1990, should be repeated again and for these reasons. After the accession of “democracy” on the territory of the USSR, the table is continuously “improved” in terms of “enlarging lines”. As a result, in “serious” books by “professional historians” on the topic of war, say, in the statistical collection “Russia and the USSR in the Wars of the 20th Century” or in the reference book “The World of Russian History”, the data in this table are distorted. Some nationalities have disappeared from it.

Jews disappeared first., which, as you can see from the original table, served Hitler as many as the Finns and the Dutch combined. And I, for example, do not see why we should throw out Jewish verses from this Hitler song.

By the way, the Poles today are trying to push the Jews away from the position of “the main sufferers of World War II”, and there are more of them on the lists of prisoners than the Italians who officially and actually fought with us.

Why, and the presented table does not reflect the true quantitative and national composition of the prisoners. First of all, it does not represent our domestic scum at all, who, either due to acquired idiocy, or because of cowardice and cowardice, served the Germans - from Bandera to Vlasov.

By the way, they were punished to insultingly easily. It’s good if a Vlasovite fell into the hands of front-line soldiers as prisoners. Then he most often got what he deserved. But after all, traitors contrived to surrender to the rear units, dressed in civilian clothes, pretended to be Germans when they surrendered, etc. In this case, the Soviet court literally patted them on the head.

At one time, domestic anti-Sovietists published collections of their memoirs abroad. One of them describes the judicial “sufferings” of a Vlasovite who defended Berlin: he dressed up as ... capturing him Soviet soldiers... introduced himself as a Frenchman and thus got to the military tribunal. And then reading his boasting is insulting: “They gave me five years of distant camps - and that was lucky. In a hurry, they considered it for the worker-peasant petty. Soldiers captured with weapons and officers were sculpted ten. When escorted to the camp, he fled to the West.

Five years for the murder of Soviet people and treason! What kind of punishment is this?! Well, at least 20, so that the spiritual wounds of widows and orphans heal and it would not be so insulting to look at these vile hari ...

For the same reason, they are not listed as prisoners of war. Crimean Tatars who stormed Sevastopol for Manstein, Kalmyks etc.

Not listed Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians, who had their national divisions as part of the Nazi troops, but were considered Soviet citizens and, therefore, served their meager terms in the GULAG camps, and not in the GUPVI camps. (GULAG - the main department of the camps - was engaged in keeping criminals, and GUPVI - the main department for prisoners of war and internees - prisoners.) Meanwhile, not all prisoners even got into the GUPVI, since this department counted only those who got into its rear camps from frontline transit points.

Estonian legionnaires of the Wehrmacht fought against the USSR with particular fury (ookaboo.com)

But since 1943, national divisions of Poles, Czechs, and Romanians began to form in the USSR to fight the Germans. And the prisoners of these nationalities were not sent to the GUPVI, but immediately to the recruitment points for such formations - they fought together with the Germans, let them fight against them! By the way, there were 600 thousand. Even de Gaulle was sent to his army 1500 French.

Before the start of the war with the USSR Hitler appealed to the Europeans to crusade against Bolshevism. Here is how they responded to it (data for June - October 1941, which do not take into account the huge military contingents Italy, Hungary, Romania and other allies of Hitler). From Spanish volunteers ( 18000 people) in the Wehrmacht, the 250th Infantry Division was formed. In July, the personnel took the oath to Hitler and departed for the Soviet-German front. During September-October 1941, from French volunteers (approx. 3000 people) the 638th Infantry Regiment was formed. In October, the regiment was sent to Smolensk, and then to Moscow. From Belgians in July 1941, the 373rd Walloon Battalion was formed (approximately 850 people), transferred to the 97th Infantry Division of the 17th Army of the Wehrmacht.

From Croatian Volunteers were formed by the 369th Infantry Regiment of the Wehrmacht and the Croatian Legion as part of the Italian troops. About 2000 Swedes signed up as a volunteer in Finland. Of these, approximately 850 people participated in the fighting near Hanko, as part of the Swedish volunteer battalion.

By the end of June 1941 294 Norwegians already served in the SS regiment "Nordland". After the start of the war with the USSR in Norway, the volunteer legion "Norway" was created ( 1200 Human). After taking the oath to Hitler, he was sent to Leningrad. By the end of June 1941, the SS division "Viking" had 216 Danes. After the start of the war with the USSR, the Danish "Volunteer Corps" began to form.

Stand apart in aiding fascism are our Polish comrades. Immediately after the end of the German-Polish war, the idea of ​​​​creating a Polish army fighting on the side of Germany came up with the Polish nationalist Wladislav Gizbert-Studnitsky. He developed a project to build a Polish 12-15 million pro-German state. Gizbert-Studnitsky proposed a plan to send Polish troops to the eastern front. Later the idea of ​​a Polish-German alliance and 35 thousandth Polish army supported by the Sword and Plow organization associated with the Home Army.

In the first months of the war against the USSR, Polish soldiers in the fascist army had the so-called status hi-wi (volunteers). Later, Hitler gave special permission for the Poles to serve in the Wehrmacht. After that, in relation to the Poles, it was categorically forbidden to use the name hi-wi, because the Nazis treated them as full-fledged soldiers. Every Pole aged 16 to 50 could become a volunteer, it was only necessary to pass a preliminary medical examination.

The Poles, along with other European nations, were urged to stand "in defense of Western civilization from Soviet barbarism." Here is a quote from a Nazi leaflet in Polish: “The German armed forces are leading the decisive struggle to defend Europe from Bolshevism. Any honest assistant in this struggle will be welcomed as a comrade-in-arms ... "

The text of the oath of the Polish soldiers read: “I swear before God this sacred oath that in the fight for the future of Europe in the ranks of the German Wehrmacht I will be absolutely obedient to the Supreme Commander Adolf Hitler, and as a brave soldier I am ready at any time to devote my strength to fulfill this oath ... "

It is amazing that even the strictest guardian of the Aryan gene pool Himmler allowed to form units from the Poles SS. The first sign was the Goral Legion of the Waffen-SS. Gorals are an ethnic group within the Polish nation. In 1942, the Nazis convened a Goral Committee in Zakopane. Was appointed "Goralenführer" Vaclav Krzheptovsky.

He and his inner circle made a number of trips to cities and villages, calling them to fight against the worst enemy of civilization - Judeo-Bolshevism. It was decided to create a Goral volunteer legion of the Waffen-SS, adapted for operations in mountainous areas. Krzheptovsky managed to collect 410 highlanders. But after a medical examination in the SS bodies, it remained 300 Human.

Another Polish Legion of the SS was formed in mid-July 1944. It was entered 1500 Polish volunteers. In October, the legion was based in Rzechow, in December near Tomaszow. In January 1945, the legion was divided into two groups (1st Lieutenant Macnik, 2nd Lieutenant Errling) and sent to participate in anti-partisan operations in the Tuchol forests. In February, both groups were destroyed by the Soviet army.

President of the Academy of Military Sciences, General of the Army Mahmut Gareev gave such an assessment of the participation of a number European countries in the fight against fascism: During the war years, all of Europe fought against us. Three hundred and fifty million people, regardless of whether they fought with weapons in their hands, or stood at the machine, producing weapons for the Wehrmacht, did one thing.

During World War II, 20,000 members of the French Resistance died. And 200,000 French fought against us. We also captured 60,000 Poles. 2 million European volunteers fought for Hitler against the USSR.

In this regard, it looks at least strange to invite military personnel from a number of countries NATO to take part in the parade on Red Square in honor of the 65th anniversary of the Great Victory, - considers a member International Association historians of the Second World War, Professor of the Military Humanitarian Academy, Colonel Yuri Rubtsov. - This insults the memory of our defenders of the Fatherland, who died at the hands of numerous "European friends of Hitler".

Helpful Conclusion

During World War II against Soviet Union, which had an initial population of just over 190 million. people fought a European coalition of more than 400 million. people, and when we were not Russians, but Soviet citizens, we defeated this coalition.

All of Europe fought against us a

When it comes to a global conflict, it is somehow strange to be interested in who fought in the Second World War, because it seems that everyone took part. But in order to obtain such a status, it is not necessary that every person on the planet be involved, and over the past years it is easy to forget who and on whose side spoke in this conflict.

Countries adhering to neutrality

It is easier to start with those who chose to remain neutral. There are already 12 such countries, but since the main part is small African colonies, it is worth mentioning only “serious” players:

• Spain- contrary to popular belief, the regime sympathetic to the Nazis and fascists did not provide real assistance with regular troops;
• Sweden- was able to avoid involvement in military affairs, avoiding the fate of Finland and Norway;
• Ireland- refused to fight the Nazis for the stupidest reason, the country did not want to have anything to do with Great Britain;
• Portugal- adhered to the position of its eternal ally in the person of Spain;
• Switzerland- remained faithful to the wait-and-see tactics and the policy of non-intervention.

True neutrality is out of the question - Spain formed a division of volunteers, and Sweden did not prevent its citizens from fighting on the side of Germany.

The troika from Portugal, Sweden and Spain actively traded with all parties to the conflict, sympathizing with the Germans. Switzerland was preparing to repel the advance of the Nazi army and was developing a plan for conducting military operations on its territory.

Even Ireland did not enter the war only because of political beliefs and even greater hatred of the British.

European allies of Germany

On the side of Hitler, the following took part in the hostilities:

1. Third Reich;
2. Bulgaria;
3. Hungary;
4. Italy;
5. Finland;
6. Romania;
7. Slovakia;
8. Croatia.

Most of the Slavic countries from this list did not take part in the invasion of the territory of the Union. The same cannot be said about Hungary, whose formations were twice defeated by the Red Army. It's about about more than 100 thousand soldiers and officers.

Italy and Romania possessed the most impressive infantry corps, which managed to “become famous” on our soil, perhaps due to the ill-treatment of civilian population in the occupied territories. In the zone of Romanian occupation were Odessa and Nikolaev, along with the adjacent territories, where the mass destruction of the Jewish population took place. Romania was defeated in 1944, the fascist regime of Italy was forced to withdraw from the war in 1943.

You can’t really talk about difficult relations with Finland since the war of 1940. The most "significant" contribution is the closure of the blockade of Leningrad from the north side. The Finns were defeated in 1944, as was Romania.

USSR and its allies in Europe

The Germans and their allies in Europe were opposed by:

• Britannia;
• THE USSR;
• France;
• Belgium;
• Poland;
• Czechoslovakia;
• Greece;
• Denmark;
• Netherlands;

Considering the losses incurred and the liberated territories, it would be incorrect not to include the Americans in this list. The main blow was taken by the Soviet Union, along with Britain and France.

For each of the countries, the war had its own form:

1. Great Britain tried to cope with the constant raids of enemy aircraft in the first stage and with missile strikes from continental Europe - in the second;
2. The French army was defeated with amazing speed, and how significant a contribution to the final result was made only by the guerrilla movement;
3. The Soviet Union suffered the greatest losses, the war was massive battles, constant retreats and offensives, the struggle for every piece of land.

The Western Front, opened by the United States, contributed to the acceleration of the liberation of Europe from the Nazis and saved the lives of millions of Soviet citizens.

War in the Pacific

On the pacific ocean fought:

• Australia;
• Canada;
• THE USSR.

The allies were opposed by Japan, with all its spheres of influence.

The Soviet Union entered this conflict at the final stage:

1. Provided the transfer of ground forces;
2. Defeated the remaining Japanese army on the mainland;
3. Contributed to the surrender of the Empire.

The battle-hardened Red Army soldiers were able to defeat the entire Japanese grouping, devoid of supply routes, with minimal losses.

The main battles in previous years took place in the sky and on the water:

• Bombing of Japanese cities and military bases;
• Attacks on caravans of ships;
• The sinking of battleships and aircraft carriers;
• The battle for the resource base;
• Application nuclear bomb on the civilian population.

Given the geographical and topographic features, there was no talk of any large-scale ground operations. All tactics were:

1. In control of key islands;
2. cutting off supply lines;
3. Restrictions of the enemy in resources;
4. Knocking out airfields and ship parking.

The chances of victory for the Japanese from the first day of the war were very illusory. Despite the success due to the surprise and unwillingness of the Americans to lead fighting over the ocean.

How many countries are involved in the conflict

Exactly 62 countries. Not one more, not one less. So many were participants in the Second World War. And this is from the 73 states that existed at that time.

This involvement is explained by:

• Crisis brewing in the world;
• Involvement of "major players" in their spheres of influence;
• Desire to solve economic and social problems by military means;
• The presence of numerous union treaties between the parties to the conflict.

You can list all of them, designate the side and years of active action. But such a volume of information will not be remembered and the next day will not leave a trace. Therefore, it is easier to identify the main participants and explain their contribution to the ongoing catastrophe.

The results of the Second World War have long been summed up:

1. Guilty found;
2. War criminals punished;
3. Appropriate conclusions are made;
4. Created "memory organizations";
5. Prohibited fascism and Nazism in most countries;
6. Reparations and debts for the supply of equipment and weapons have been paid.

The main task is not repeat something like this .

Today, even schoolchildren know who fought in the Second World War and what consequences this conflict had for the world. But there are too many myths that need to be dispelled.

Video about the participants in the military conflict

This video very clearly demonstrates the entire chronology of the events of the Second World War, which countries took part in what:

Very often, the Great Patriotic War is called only an episode of the Second World War, while noting that this episode is appropriate to call Soviet-German war. That is, the war between the Third Reich and the USSR. But who was the Soviet Union really at war with? And was it a one-on-one battle?

When liberals and other entertaining historians start screaming about senseless losses, “filled up with meat” and “drank Bavarian”, they usually like to confirm their theses about the “mediocrity and criminality” of the Soviet leadership and command by comparing the Wehrmacht and the Red Army. Like, the Red Army had more people, and all the time they were smashed, and there were more tanks, and planes and other pieces of iron-machines, and the Germans burned everything. At the same time, without forgetting, however, to tell about one “rifle for three”, “shovel handles” and the rest of the crap from the category of “Solzhenitsyn's fairy tales”.

By June 1941, on the border with the USSR, the Wehrmacht had 127 divisions, two brigades and one regiment in three army groups and the Army of Norway. These troops numbered 2 million 812 thousand people, 37099 guns and mortars, 3865 tanks and assault guns.

Together with Germany, Finland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Italy were preparing to enter the war with the USSR.

Finland - 17.5 divisions with a total number of 340 thousand 600 people, 2047 guns, 86 tanks and 307 aircraft;

Slovakia - 2.5 divisions with a total number of 42 thousand 500 people, 246 guns, 35 tanks and 51 aircraft;

Hungary - 2.5 divisions with a total number of 44 thousand 500 people, 200 guns, 160 tanks and 100 aircraft;

Romania - 17.5 divisions with a total number of 358 thousand 100 people, 3255 guns, 60 tanks and 423 aircraft;

Italy - 3 divisions with a total number of 61 thousand 900 people, 925 guns, 61 tanks and 83 aircraft.

That is, almost a million people in 42.5 divisions, with 7,000 guns, 402 tanks, and almost a thousand aircraft. A simple calculation shows that on the Eastern Front alone, the allies of the Nazi axis, and it would be more correct to call them that, had 166 divisions, numbering 4 million 307 thousand people with 42601 pieces of artillery of various systems, as well as 4171 tanks and assault guns and 4846 aircraft.

So: 2 million 812 thousand only in the Wehrmacht and 4 million 307 thousand in total, taking into account the forces of the allies. One and a half times more. The picture is changing dramatically. Is not it?

Yes, the armed forces of the Soviet Union by the summer of 1941, when the inevitability of war became obvious, were the largest army in the world. There was actually covert mobilization. By the beginning of the war, the Soviet armed forces numbered 5,774,000 soldiers. Specifically in ground forces there were 303 divisions, 16 airborne and 3 rifle brigades. The troops had 117,581 artillery systems, 25,784 tanks and 24,488 aircraft.

It seems to be superior? However, all of the above forces of Germany and its allies were deployed in a direct 100 km zone along the Soviet borders. While in the western districts, the Red Army had a group of 3 million people, 57 thousand guns and mortars and 14 thousand tanks, of which only 11 thousand were serviceable, as well as about 9 thousand aircraft, of which only 7.5 thousand were serviceable.

Moreover, in the immediate vicinity of the border, the Red Army had no more than 40% of this number in a more or less combat-ready state.

From the above, if you are not tired of the numbers, it clearly follows that the USSR fought not only Germany. Just like in 1812, not only France. That is, there can be no talk of any “filled up with meat”.

And so it went on for almost the entire war, until the second half of 1944, when the allies of the Third Reich fell like a house of cards.

Add here, in addition to the direct allied countries, the foreign parts of the Wehrmacht, the so-called "national SS divisions", a total of 22 volunteer divisions. During the war, 522,000 volunteers from other countries served in them, including 185,000 Volksdeutsche, that is, “foreign Germans”. The total number of foreign volunteers was 57% (!) of the Waffen-SS. Let's list them. If this tires you, then just estimate the number of lines and geography. The whole of Europe is represented, with the exception of the principalities of Luxembourg and Monaco, and that is not a fact.

In addition, the Udel-Ural Legion was formed, in which representatives of the peoples living on the territory of Russia fought: Bashkirs, Udmurts, Mordovians, Chuvashs, Mari), as well as the Dagestan Legion and the Kalmyk Cavalry Corps (+7 nationalities)
22. Georgia : Georgian Legion of the Wehrmacht
23-29. middle Asia: Turkestan Legion (Karachays, Kazakhs, Uzbeks, Turkmens, Kirghiz, Uighurs, Tatars)
30.Azerbaijan: Azerbaijani Legion (14 battalions)

Scandinavian 5th SS Panzer Division "Viking" - the Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium, Norway;

Balkan 7th SS Volunteer Mountain Division "Prince Eugen" - Hungary, Romania, Serbia.

24th mountain rifle (cave) division of the SS "Karstjäger" - Czechoslovakia, Serbia, Galicia, Italy;

36th SS Grenadier Division "Dirlewanger" - recruited from criminals from various European countries.

Mention should also be made of "Hiwi", from the German Hilfswilliger, meaning "willing to help". These are volunteers who entered the service directly in the Wehrmacht. They served in auxiliary units. But this does not mean non-combat. For example, anti-aircraft crews for the Luftwaffe were formed from the Khiva.

The ethnic composition of the prisoners of war, who ended up in our captivity by the end of the war, speaks very eloquently about the very diverse national composition of the troops opposing the Red Army. Simple fact: Danes, Norwegians and even the French are captured on eastern front turned out to be more than participated in the resistance to the Nazis in their homeland.

And we have not even touched on the topic of the economic potential that worked for the German war machine. First of all, these are Czechoslovakia, the pre-war leader in arms production in Europe, and France. And this is artillery, small arms and tanks.

For example, the Czech arms concern Skoda. Every third German tank that took part in Operation Barbarossa was produced by this company. First of all, this is the LT-35, which received the designation Pz.Kpfw in the Wehrmacht. 35(t).

Moreover, after the annexation of Czechoslovakia, German specialists discovered two new experimental LT-38 tanks in the Skoda workshops. After reviewing the drawings, the Germans decided to put the tank into service and began its serial production.

The production of these tanks went on almost until the end of the war, only from the end of 1941 they began to be produced as a base for German self-propelled guns. More than half of the German self-propelled guns had a Czech base.

The French, in turn, provided the Germans with their ship repair facilities. German submarines, a thunderstorm of the Allied Atlantic convoys, the so-called " wolf packs Doenitz", were based and were being repaired on the southern coast of France and in Middle-earth near Marseille. Moreover, ship repair brigades arranged competitions for the one who would repair the boat faster. Doesn't sound like forced labor, does it?

So with whom did the USSR fight in the Great Patriotic War? The answer is: with military units formed from representatives of at least 40 nationalities and peoples of the world.

The article is based on

What did the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact give the USSR and Europe?

First of all, we note that I.V. With this pact, at the diplomatic level, Stalin brilliantly won two strategic important battles: the battle for Space and the battle for Time. The only question is what it meant for the USSR, on the one hand, and for Hitler's inspirers and allies, on the other. It is here that the iconic differences and illegal interests of the parties: the peoples of the USSR and the West, which have not changed their essence even today, after the collapse of the USSR.

And then it becomes obvious that Stalin, by the pact itself, clearly drew a “red line” in front of Hitler, which the brown jackal could no longer violate with impunity. Thus, putting a barrier to Hitler's aggression against the peoples of Western Ukraine, Western Belarus, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina. In the language of the military, this is also called the gain of strategic SPACE in the theater of possible military operations.

But with this pact, the USSR expanded not so much their borders, which they very diligently hint at to us, as a “seizure of foreign territories”, but they postponed the TIME TO START ... the war. Which was something destructive for the West, hence tragic in their plans.

"Time", and this must be said today clearly and loudly, assigned to Hitler by Great Britain, France and the USA, i.e. West, to attack the USSR! And Stalin, it turns out, with this pact simply outplayed the West and set them against each other like a pack of dogs?!

And here, again, in close connection with the “canvas”, another important question arises: when, in fact, did the Second World War begin? It is generally accepted that the date of its beginning is September 1, 1939! Wait, why is that?

Here is a dry chronicle of those years: in 1935, Italy attacked Abyssinia and occupied it. In the summer of 1935, Germany and Italy organized a military intervention in Spain. In 1937, Japan invaded Northern and Central China, occupied Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai. At the beginning of 1938, Germany captured Austria, and in the fall, the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia. At the end of 1938, Japan captured Canton, and at the beginning of 1939, Hainan Island. Germany in March 1939 occupied the remnants of Czechoslovakia and the Memel region of Lithuania. Isn't too much blood shed for "peacetime"?

The impression is created or artificially created that the date of the attack on Poland was chosen in order to link the Second world war with the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact?

Who did it and most importantly why, now it becomes clearer. Given that such ideological battles London - the author and inspirer of this baseness, always plans ahead of time ... decades.

This is the "bleeding wound-resentment" of the West. That is why they are in a hurry to rewrite history today, equating Stalinism with Nazism. In order to shift the responsibility for their historical crime against humanity to the USSR and its leader I.V. Stalin.
And last but not least, stop talking about 27 million dead here.
