of partizans of seven people. here at this place i found a german telephone line that connected the garrison of the invaders in logoysk with the commandant's office of the village of plechnitsy. the guerrillas cut the communication line and remained in ambush waiting for the detachment of german signalers to arrive right on that the place where march 22, 1943. uh, the partisans of the avenger detachment. brigades. uncle vasya ambushed the german telephone operators beforehand, they spoiled it. e, the telephone wire cable and the telephone operators were waiting for them, who would come to repair soon, and from the shoulders, where the 118th battalion was located in the direction of the district center, logoisk, a convoy of a passenger car came out, in which the same hanswölke and two trucks were driving. there are different versions. where the famous herbman was heading, one went

on vacation on the other lungs. added a squad that he went in search of a cable break and intended, under heavy guard, to subdue the telephone line cut by the partisans. there is such a hill here. it’s pretty big, at that time it was, so the passenger car easily broke away from the trucks and, uh, the first one was driving, and the partisans fired at this car. when the partisans saw the car , they realized that instead of the usual outfit of the signalers, was it by chance or not? some kind of occupation authorities are coming, they did not yet know that two trucks with ss men were following. and that no one fell into the ambush, but the favorite of the fuhrer himself and everything third reich olympic champion hansl, and opened fire to kill here. here they made an ambush on this hill, because the vigilantes are good at shooting down conveniently, and then if there is an unforeseen situation, then you can retreat from one side. they were on our side , and here, here, uh, well, if you

look here, probably. there are shell casings in these places, it seems that the invaders did not expect that they would fall into an ambush. ss men. it was thought that the partisans would not dare to attack a vehicle escorted by a whole company. convoy. here is the testimony a direct participant in those events, the commanders of a platoon of 118 shuts from the landscape of battalions. vasily meleshko and hitler, who was traveling with his pet on that day, in the same car, i quote the wolves. first he was wounded in the right hand. the bullet broke his fingers, he kept trying to take the pistol out of its holster, but could not do it. then, with eyes large with horror, he ran across the open place and was bound to die. after they got into the car he was driving there, but he did not die and the partisans were chasing him. here he ran fast, and it turned out that their partizan who was also running fast. and now he is already shooting in a short skirmish, along with the haufmann wölke, another

german machine gunner schneider and also the squad leader died . a ukrainian punisher, danko, just a couple of minutes later, lagging behind trucks drove up to the ambush site. you poured fire. the outgoing enemy forces, the partisans, realized that they would not be able to capture the language, documents, or weapons of the slain ss and quickly left the ambush site, retreating further into the depths of the forest, when everything calmed down, the punishers approached the ambush site and discovered a broken telephone wire; the nazis did not know that there were only seven attackers and did not dare to pursue at first after the attack on the car of hans wölka, events were developing rapidly german. telephonists restore communication platoon commander vasily meleshko remember this name and surname. he will also play an important role. in this story. miraculously, he survived after the shelling of the car of the famous hauffmann. calls for help

restored line of communication has been called reinforcements and to the place where today the turn to khatyn arrived from pleschenitsy, the main staff of the 118th battalion without one company, and from logoysk, the team of the security police and the sd of the logoisk district and separate units of the ss battalion dermonger arrived, which shortly before that was transferred to the territory of the logoisk district . gathering great strength. almost two battalions, the gestapo, ss and policemen turned around in a chain and began to comb the area from here to the turn to the village of khatyn, only 300 m. the fork leads to the village. trumps that fateful day at this place, the brutal punishers staged the first mass execution of innocent residents on the eve of march 19, also forty-third. e squad fight. the same brigade of uncle vasya ambushed passing german vehicles here.

after that the germans decided along the highway. this one, because the most dangerous place here was the forest was approaching, the highway was close, they decided to carve a hundred-meter strip to ensure the safety of the passage of the car of the villagers, the trump cards, the germans, were driven out to work, on the very morning of march 22, everyone who could hold an ax was sent to cut down the forest? or at least there were about fifty women of old men and children of lumberjacks wearing bitches, because , uh, in each village they took one person without fail. well, somewhere, someone took the children, they took them of such an age that he could help. there in case of sickness. uh, it was possible to burn before such work in a bloody meat grinder. few people managed to survive the plechenitsy lagoisk, which became the first act of the khatyn tragedy, but we were lucky to find a witness to that terrible massacre, who survived to this day that day, little vanya shcherbovich was sent to work along with his relatives. suddenly

, punishers appeared at the clearing, who were combing the area in search of the partizans at that very time. all work was ordered to immediately stop people with machine gun muzzles . and crying. it became clear to everyone. the ss men are preparing a massacre right on the spot. those who were able to escape rushed to loose in fact . there were such lads in advance, and he went then the partisans fled. lis mikhail iosifovich commanded petrovsky to flow away

to the right side. you caught up, and whoever you didn’t catch up on the left side, joseph also remembered, that terrible morning for the rest of his life, then his two older brothers were driven home to cut down the forest. the brother who was shot in the chest is not alive. and 25 years old, my brother only 5 pierced the sole of the boot. there is no donkey. those who ran away were shot in the back; those who did not dare to run were ordered to lie down. after the old women and children completed the command of the recumbent they began to shoot almost point-blank with a machine gun

chief. it was my brother who told me who and they drove to see them. these clearings have remained here since then, having shot 26 civilians at this place, and the rest were ordered to dump the corpses. fellow villagers were built a ditch, then the survivors were built and driven in a column to the commandant's office of the village of plechnitsy. after that, sonderkommandos der levander went after the 118th battalion further ahead on their way, peacefully woke up, the village of khatyn, which did not yet know what fate awaited it very soon. fleeing from the chase, the partisans were afraid to get into the ring, because

too large forces were involved in their capture, and they understood that if the pincers closed up, it would no longer be possible to get out of the encirclement, the punishers divided into two columns and moved in the footsteps of the partisans, combing the forest, they moved slowly. they were carrying heavy weapons, guns, mortars, heavy machine guns, and only around 3 p.m. they went to the edge of the village khatyn. two companies of punishers moved around the village the lapel was left at the edge of the village, seeing in the distance the outskirts of the village, the group of partizans split into two, confusing the tracks, turned sharply to the south and went deep into the thicket the remaining five. they quickly went north. they did not know that at that moment there were five partisans from another detachment in the village. by the second half of the day, the village was completely surrounded by a double ring, 118, the battalion,

took khatyn in a vice, and the sonderkommando arrived in time after the massacre on the glades. ss dermonger. made up the second contour of the environment nothing the suspecting residents turned out to be a death trap from which no escape was possible for anyone. and you, according to the circumstances of the operations, the punishers reported to their superiors in different ways, trying to listen to the commander, the policeman of the 118th battalion writes that on that day, in a fierce battle on the outskirts of the village, he destroyed entire partisan detachments, and this pulls, if not to the iron cross, then at least for promotion in rank. here i am holding a document from the freiburg archives in front of me. wehrmacht fifth april 1943. that is, this is a week after these tragic events, and here it is reported that on march 22, 1943 , while pursuing a gang, as

the partisans are called, they clashed, during which the police captain was killed, but 30 partisans were killed, as they are called, which means bandits in the report the commander of the battalion of the ussr does not have these feats at all . she carried she participated let's say. so i played auxiliary, respectively, there was nothing to hide at all, therefore the commander of the urota was not relevant. naturally, he presented his superiors with a full report on what was published. naturally, and where he wrote everything. where no no fight. there is no speech, judging by the documents. this is next to the avenger of the uncle's partisan brigade, who ambushed on the road, managed to escape and by the afternoon the nazis had stopped pursuing their goal was already a

village. it was at this moment that the same grigory vasyura, who would then be a long time search right up to our days after 3:00 on the afternoon of march 22 in khatyn, a real pitch hell began, the truth about what really happened in the village was not fully disclosed, and many years later in peacetime, at the convincing request of the ukrainian leadership, supposedly, so as not to to quarrel the fraternal peoples and not cast a shadow on the reputation of the inhabitants of western ukraine, grigory vasyura was also silent about his crimes. deftly confusing the tracks and successfully hiding from retribution. as the chief executioner, you have not been able to hide all your life, who in our days i noticed his monument to the victims of the punishers, what the surviving villagers were silent about and how many years later the former sasovich. i pierced on may 9, see immediately after a short advertisement. the very first victims

to watch the surroundings, the rest dispersed to their own. soon the guard noticed the punishers and raised the alarm. we jumped out a partisan who was on guard shot into the air the germans would take in the village. the partisans could not, they tried to quickly slip out of the street, they died there on the spot the most interesting. if you look that before us, then everyone was wounded in the back, well, from the outside, that is, they left the village. the guerrillas are there, there is little interrogation protocol. there are testimonies of witnesses, it is clearly seen that there were several partisans in the village, and not more than five people. they were also killed. well, indeed, they could not fight so with such, but with a significant number of punishers. and the mortar fired at the village, the village was surrounded, surrounding the village created two rings, cordons, external and internal. inner ring

the punishers began to shrink into each house, the zhelobkovichi house stood on the very edge of the village. he got caught by the punisher first. well, then the adults began to beat and tried to hide the children in the cellar, but the punishers dragged everyone out of there too. you know, they even work. they kicked out. outbuildings once stood here at this place, and people began to be driven into one of the biggest garbage, it turned out to be in different corners, it seems to be close.

all of the little sisters are on the corner of the barn there, and we from the mother were standing at the very exit and, well, somewhere stands, where the door is attached to, we stood there just on these this month until all this was driven out of the village. i’m talking, of course, i remember in my own that they said that they could support her and fluff up people until the last believed that the policemen would usually check the village’s documents and let them go, no one thought that now, among the children’s crying of women’s groans and shouts of punishers, the last minutes are leaving life. i stood from the mother, at the very exit. that's how but inside the barn, well, where where is the gate attached? so

we indicate. this ears stood. i saw a toss up straw. these are collective farms. there was straw there and that's it. and here they are from the street near to near the barn, what was given, they threw it to the heart, and then watered it alone. there they go after this canary pouring gasoline, when the door closed behind the last family, he brought a torch, the translator began to throw, torches, the rest. well, it was the end of march, the wet straw burned badly, then the punishers opened fire, with incendiary bullets, when the roof caught fire, when burning salons began to fall on people's heads, burning boards, such a terrible cry was heard that no shots were even heard. buried alive in a fiery mass grave the roof is straw oleg

all yours is collapsing. and well, in short, this roof fell on people, and there so many people this roof spun along with people, because, well, a person was suffocating in dima, this collapsed roof crushed, doomed to people. there were so many inside that the burning beams stirred along with them, then all the same, people rushed to this gate - the collective farm door. there is such a constipation. pulled them out and run to the barn. but those who escaped from the flames they met machine-gun bursts at close range, when the building was completely engulfed in fire and the burning people, mad with horror, broke down the doors and ran out. here , at this place, but they did not find salvation , machine guns were placed in advance and they began to shoot at the helpless at the burning people, all

the soldiers, officers, police sessions. everything, here. this place was covered with the bodies of people of nine-year-old viktor zhilobkovich, from which my mother saved the fire at the cost of her life. she covered him with her body. nothing not having time to kick in the end. that's when to us, maybe they ran away and fell. a loved one fell and our yoga hat began to smolder. well, i don’t know, elena immediately burned more or spoke later. i was just pressed against her and i hear that she trembled so, and i got a bullet on the shoulder. together

with the convoy, they left the village, the first thing that happened to me was that it was so terrible it was so not a person. i couldn't think of anything. there are already few who are older alive, there is some kind of terrible day on fire and from the bullets of punishers died, 149 residents of khatyn, 75 of them were small children to the smallest inhabitant of khatyn, tolik

yaskevich was 7 weeks old. he burned down with his mother, nineteen-year-old vera yaskevich, in this terrible fire. i didn't cry like that. well, only then did i cry through her number two or three, because it was so visible that the soul was singed from the general, so terrible by this. view what is it? that it is difficult, of course, for and not that for a child for adult labor. well, this is how my childhood ended, except for viktor zhelobkovich, two girls maria fedorovich and yulia klimovich managed to survive in the hot shed when the building was on fire by some miracle, they did not get out from the opposite side. there was no cordon and crawled away. over there on that side. this is the forest. it wasn't

there either. outbuildings stood there, then there was a field among these potato fields. they hid. a few days later, these girls were picked up by residents of other villages for the wounded, burnt, they were taken out and sheltered, they were residents of a neighboring village. little did they know then what was to come for them all. even the terrible fate of the whole village helped, some bandages, some some kind of fat some medication. well, there weren't many of them. well anyway already. a little bit, these girls healed and began to walk, and again they were overtaken here. uh, the trouble is just a month and a half after the crime in khatyn, the village of ills, punishers, will be destroyed along with everyone who was there, and this time masha fedorovich and yulia klemovich will no longer be able to. save yourself, the punitive operation in may '43 is here.
