what is nikitin like? they all refused to cooperate and died in hamelburg, mauthausen, auschwitz and other concentration camps. however, there were those who took the path of betrayal among them. literally the following quote , they were strict and demanding of subordinate germans, they served faithfully, the germans especially distinguished themselves, they gave out ribbons that they wore in their buttonholes, losura, and mishka also wore such ribbons. the testimony of vasyura, who was the ukrainian commander of the 118th shumash in the battalion. uh, there's a quote in that testimony. take for example a little one. he is a real sadist and he was attracted by the smell of blood. and these words really were

such after the concentration camp. mishka underwent special training and in the fall of 1942 arrived to serve in the schutzman battalion. shaft to kiev in those days, everything was seized with mortal fear in the babi yar tract , thousands of people were shot every day, jews, gypsies, communists, and captured red army soldiers were there ordinary ravine. e, in the city of kiev were carried out and propaganda, work and work through the police apparatus. eh, the jewish population gathered and systematically shot there, well, the conversion machine for such an envelope of death was a total of women. yaru killed more than 150,000 people. there were so many corpses that the germans even planned to create a soap factory for processing human bones, but they did not manage to launch it in monstrous crimes. babier was

noticed not only by the germans, there were people who they were ready to carry it out again, this is not something that the germans themselves called there. no, it was those abilities. here, those people who can be called faints who do this, and the occupation archives eloquently testify that ukrainian nationalists from the so -called bukovinian kuren also took part in the atrocities at babi yar. . e, moved along with the german troops to ukraine e. here, uh hmm well, the truth is, let's say, the current ukrainian historians. they say that in general he was almost such a peaceful formation, but, according to a number of publications, he took a rather active part in sharp programs in ukraine and, in general, and as a whole , was involved in escorting, among other things. eh, jews to the place of execution on the woman in the world, that is,

exactly. these nationalists will form the basis of the future 118 punitive schutzman battalion destroyed bobby i and people were idle. so they went to 118 in the battalion mishka immediately became commander of the first platoon of the first company in december of the forty-second, the germans sent punishers to the logoisk region of belarus, where they, together with the sonderkommando of the ss dirlewanger, left a terrible memory of themselves and stayed here; the prisoners tried here, right here, they tell in this moat. eh, they shot here, they hung gallows here. yes , here on the territory. there was a cemetery there, where the stadium is. we now have a stadium. there used to be a cemetery there. here he walked along those streets, carried a livanger with him, a whip and leather whip with this whip. he beat people who

did not like him, that is, people, if they saw that the eleva was already moving towards them, did not try to bypass the street to hide somehow, so as not to catch his eye, that he was not quite adequate. in the sense of that is, here is the appearance of the dirlewanger, in general, looking at the trees in the photograph of the relation. we can say that most likely he was abnormal, because he had, so to speak, a kind of unhealthy glint in his eyes. even among the ss, oder fuhrer, oscar paul der levander leaked, a sophisticated sadist once, at a gathering with officers, a dozen local girls were brought to his apartment. they held the vanger, ordered them to take off their clothes and dance. after that, he beat them with a whip and personally killed all the oskar zarlinger. by the way, by the way, the doctor of philosophy addressed a letter directly to the fuhrer hitler with a proposal

to create from among the persons who committed criminal offenses, including initially poachers. well, those who could navigate in the forest , such a hunting team, i am such a team with the purpose of the fight against the partisans, since there were very few such persons, they began to attract criminals, bandits, rapists, murderers of sadists to this team, the occupied belarus unit was replenished with a company of ukrainian nationalists, as for this executioner and his assistants of belarus bloody years, approximately , again, what is the exact figure of about 90,000 killed in no way told people, a participant in almost all punitive operations. in general, people committed criminal offenses. there just

well, the documents themselves. even those that are, that you are now reading, these are documents that he knows, probably not worth it. to become people with her stable psyche, because what they did, the most notorious accomplices of hitler, is beyond the bounds of the human psyche. many punitive actions of the ussr were carried out by livangers together with thugs from the 118th battalion of the schutzmant, the military personnel of this 118th battalion were practically no different from e, a special team and dillevangers to commit crimes and kill civilians to rob looting, raping, as if both of them knew how and not to deny their testimony before the military tribunal after the war, the traitor, nikolai franchuk, testified for the first platoon. the bear

was considered the most cruel. and after they burned civilians in the village, gorenevichi, the germans began to call this platoon. the shock chronology of the actions of the zuk surrer meleshko on march 22, forty- three, is known literally by the minute. he was in the same car with hauffmann hans wölke when they were attacked here by many partisans the punishers recall that the platoon commander was also slightly wounded, and then he walked all day with a little bandage on his head. at the trial, logic denied this in every possible way. clearly, the junior commander of the punishers behind the bandaged head, which cold-bloodedly destroyed defenseless people. it is well remembered after the skirmish with the partisans, the cutie shot 26 villagers. it is known that he personally finished off the wounded when khatyn was surrounded. platoon. mishka was the first to go to

clean up. with a lump in the throat, the native granddaughter miraculously, who then survived the little sonya yaskevich, is divided memories of their grandmother, knocked on the house of the punisher, went to open the door, they killed her with a shot . grandmother was a little bit in another room. and she heard this and managed to hide in the cellar where the potatoes were stored. antonovna eskevich carried in her heart ashes and tears of khatyn, some details of that terrible day. she only told her relatives they simply didn’t notice her. of course, and uh, they were punishers and they climbed and looked for someone else, because apparently they had such a goal to drive everyone into this barn. grandma is hiding

so she survived the girl hid in the cellar under some kind of junk, the punishers did not find her and drove the inhabitants to the barn, and with you the eskevich tried to get out of the village on the outskirts, khatyn suddenly two policemen came out to meet her, one already wanted to shoot her, but the second unexpectedly he stopped him and told her to immediately get out of here into the forest, beside herself with fear. sonya ran and came to her senses already at a neighboring farm. the relatives of beauty were already glowing, black smoke was pouring, machine-gun bursts were pounding, then she had not yet she knew that her brother volodya eskevich was also lucky to survive that day. vladimir antonovich is a great- uncle grandfather. volodya always called. when the punishers came, he succeeded, eh? to escape, he hid in a pit with vegetables, he kept potatoes there

. well, in general, he hid in this pit and two punishers approached. it was yame they saw him. uh, well, in general they helped. uh, they wanted to kill him first, apparently, but they changed their minds and decided that they would not touch the child and even from other punishers. hmm, they hid him covered with straw and hay that lay there, so that others would not find and kill the child, he managed to escape. yes, he hid, hid, and they left the judge of the military tribunal, who years later sentenced gregory, personally talked with witnesses of the khatyn tragedy and is firmly convinced that the punishers who took pity on the children spoke russian,

most likely, they were traitors from among the former prisoners of war. he said in russian that the germans were there too. and when they rounded up everyone who was talking in different languages, there were also the baltics and ukrainians. well, who spoke what language with this, which are in the potato pit? clearly in russian , however, the further bloody path of the 118th battalion was not marked by such actions in relation to children, not a single confirmed fact. it seems that these two policemen, then vasyura will shoot for weakness, the little one commanded the platoon that was opposite the doors of the tyne barn, which the nazis set fire to, it was he and his subordinates who shot soviet citizens

who tried to escape from this on fire. barn ukrainian nationalists behaved so terribly, how vasyura blew himself, who simply shot at people and finished off everyone. even the boys there were some little ones, who were tiny there, who ran out of the barn. vaughn shot at them personally and tried to kill everyone when it got dark and the punishers left, what was left of khatyn volodya and sonya skevich. they came to the ashes in the hope of finding the surviving father, he, and my grandmother, he is still alive, he still lived, when the barn burned, he lived. but he already had practically no skin without legs, and he only begged to be killed directly, because that it was impossible to endure everything in a

few minutes, the father died in front of volodya and sonya, then among the terrible pile of remains, fellow villagers by scraps of clothes, they recognize their mother, the burnt mother tightly pressed her younger brother's breasts. vladika is the nineteen-year-old wife of her older brother. vera hugged her newborn son tolik, this is the youngest victim of khatyn, he was only 7 days old. leshka will not immediately be able to remember khatyn for the punisher. it was just one episode in an endless series of monstrous atrocities. according to various according to estimates, the exact figures no, between 30,000 and 45,000 people ended up behind barbed wire. how many died from, again, it is not known exactly, who counted there? well, here the figure is indicated more than 9.000 again , a rather conventional figure, they usually name

about a third, about a third , one is known quite accurately, about half of all the dead. these were small. children in the summer of forty-four, under the growing roar of artillery, the germans advancing the red army, urgently evacuate the 118th ukrainian battalion to east prussia and already as part of the thirtieth grenadier division of the ss punishers will be sent back to france. here we are moving. they continued to serve there in this battalion. bestial, flair prompted meleshko the imminent defeat of the third reich. saving your skin. he incites part of his company to go over to the side of the french resistance from that moment on, their paths with vasyura diverge. the leader of the executioners of khatyn remained with the germans to the end,

and the little fellow became a french partisan, not a cutie. still sneezed. here are partisan branches, french brands there, he already told about gardening. you already know me there, when the americans did everything here like that. and they will send him to fight in northern africa, and here lies some kind of mystery. stay a cutie in the ranks of the legion and no one would ever be able to find him, but a hardened killer, deciding to desert. here is how he later explained this to the inheritance when he entered the service in the foreign legion. i had no intention of returning to the soviet union but serving in a legion in

order in a foreign army with flourishing assaults. made me reconsider my views. everyone who knew cute is sure the killer could not be frightened by assault. most likely. he committed some crime already in the ranks of the legion and therefore was forced to flee. soon, the hemstitch appears at the location of the soviet units under the guise of a released prisoner of war, he is sent for verification. it is generally accepted that the former prisoner had one road to the gulag, but as we can see, this is not so, they believed the little one was restored to the rank and in december forty-fifth was transferred to the reserve. the bear moves away from ukraine and belarus where he could be recognized in kazakhstan people changed their surnames people moved to other places of residence people most often

came up with some kind of legend, that was enough. it’s just that in those years there were no labor computers or social networks. in general, it was quite easy to get lost. people behaved very thoughtfully in kazakhstan. a small child gets a job as an agronomist. starts a family. in the late forties, the former punisher thinks that there is nothing more to be afraid of and decides to move to his wife's relatives in rostov , however, on the way. chekists take him during interrogations merezhka hides information about his service 118 battalion. he admits that he went over to the side of the invaders, collaborated with the nazis, but did not kill anyone, guarded some warehouses at that time of evidence of his monstrous crimes. the investigation has not yet been. in the forty-ninth year, meleshko was sentenced to twenty-five years in prison, however, after 6 years, under an amnesty in honor of the decade of the victory, he was released for almost 20

years, a sophisticated sadistic killer will successfully play the role of an unjustly offended veteran of the french resistance and a noble leader production. we were arrested by an agronomist, aksai district of the rostov region, a badge of honor, an order. i have been waiting for you for so many years, but you did not come immediately after the advertisement, as you went on the trail and took the bloody executioners of khatyn, and on which you pierced on may 9th. the leader of the punishers, after many years, we will find out in a couple of minutes. dna tomorrow at 16:45 mary magdalene considered herself the most beloved daughter

of her mother before her death and admitted that she was not her own. she was dying. she told me that i, well, not her blood, where is the woman who left now. and if mary magdalene had sisters and brothers, i knew that these mothers were still children. well, i'm about to meet them. i never thought, i hide the envelope, and right after 17:50 a man, took away a friend 's mistress and became her lawful husband. and when she gave birth to a son, he refused to recognize the child. i gave birth to a baby of my son for 700 g, consider yourself the most. this is my son. if it were my son, i would refuse him. i'm opening tomorrow at 4:45 pm and 5:50 pm dna two programs in a row. in may forty-fifth , the location of the soviet troops appeared asun

and emaciated person. in some cast-offs, he introduced himself as a released prisoner of war, senior lieutenant of the red army, gregory. vasyura they checked him for a short time and let him go on all four sides. he then hid the filtration camp. he went into hiding served with the germans, that he graduated from this training school. he's been taken prisoner. uh, and uh, gave it up then here you are. i didn't offend anything, nothing anywhere. here, according to everyone who hunted for the main executioner of khatyn, with might and main, there was an unprecedented impudence. he decides that mind will be less suspicious and without thinking to hide, he returns to where he was born and raised conversations. let's say that he served the germans, and he and his wife invented the legend that they were in captivity and now returned from captivity. and uh, so to speak, they

are here, however, in 1952 they came for him, but the vassera already had a spare legend ready, but he served the germans, but allegedly did not kill anyone. after the concentration camp, throughout the war, he guarded the railway in deep bodies in the fifty-second year, a military tribunal convicted him for his service. the germans have 25 years. deprivation of liberty, when there was amnesty 54, there is fifty-fifth hell, and in the fifty-fifth year he was released on parole. this is due to the universal of all. who lived germans, who did not participate in any actions and so on, and so he came out. he changed his place of residence and lived near the village. in the village , or rather, a great smoke, where he rose to the rank of

deputy director of the state farm, perhaps the investigators understood that the little thing and vasyura were hiding something, but there was no evidence of their guilt, then there was still no german archives were still scattered and not fully studied, and the former punishers received special training from the nazis and knew how to behave during interrogations. only people were trained not stupid, but many understood that it was best to pass or pass for a prisoner of a concentration camp. some kind of, uh, for a prisoner of war there, or just mobilized, or here, they already mobilized him, and they got him under false documents, but i may have changed their names, here, but as i said before, many just started last names and all. and where something is unknown, therefore, our search is so, uh, sometimes. well, we weren't able to identify all of them, but

i so wanted to temporarily find them all, so that everyone would be presented directly in football, however, step by step, the chekists unraveled the case of the massacre of the inhabitants and found out more and more new names of the executioners, then compared their testimony, checked with german documents, and so went to the next this is how we got them. and the interrogation of each policeman and thus replenished the list, but it was, of course, not quite complete, because not all the policemen knew each other of the same person being interrogated at 10-15-20. if necessary, and 40 once, then, in each interrogation, he must also name the person’s name, surname, a scheme, there was somewhere and an index is drawn up for such a surname, well, a card and uh, then uh, if this

surname comes across somewhere again. that card is being gradually created, which can grow into a whole up to russia and then already starts 20 years, therefore, in principle, that's because the search system in the soviet union was arranged to escape from them. eh, there was no chance. the german punishers were the first to go on trial on january 15, 1946. here in the minsk house of officers a loud the trial of the prisoners captured by the nazis for the mass murders on the territory of belarus on the bench, the defendants turned out to be lieutenant general johann reefer, former commander of the 286th, security and 35th infantry divisions, on his orders more than 2,000 people were shot, 18 germans were convicted and turned to the highest measure of punishment. it was one of the most notorious lawsuits of its time. she materials of the minsk

process. we are becoming aware of the names of representatives of the neutral apparatus of the rxx, who commanded. the murderers who gave orders for the destruction of the civilian population after 15 years were on the dock . he was beaten alive with rifle butts. polish convoys. he ended his life. in general, the way it was supposed to be. here is a man with such qualities, he was simply beaten to death when he was captured by the polish soldiers who guarded the prisons. you see, they couldn’t, and here is 7 hmm, in my opinion, june of the forty-fifth year of his simply. one month after graduation war. he was just beaten to death. that's how a man finished, well, it's hard to call him a man . here is a creature. eh, it's ended . the commander of the

ukrainian company battalion, one of the executioners of khatyn, ivan melchachenko, did not live to see the trial either. he deserted on the 44th. until february, 45, he hid in the murman region, where he hunted for robbery and robbery and was killed while detaining thugs from the mouths and melnichenko searched for a long time for the fate of these ukrainians who destroyed khatyn. this is melnichenko's platoon, they are in the forty-third year. uh, they went to the partizan, then they went to the partizans and until the forty-fourth year, they fought on the side of the partisans and left the forest already, as i heroes, no one remembered that they took part in various operations to hide from justice as a punisher of battles. managed 16 years october 13, 1961 in minsk began a trial of all sentenced to death , in contrast to the previous process. this

one was not widely publicized. still, the surname of the killers stopchenko, yalynsky, graborovsky tupiga did not look like the german main culprits of the khatyn tragedy, fanatics from the 118th battalion of the schutzmann shaft caught the longest, some managed to disappear without a trace. battalion chief. navigator. the fuhrer, sserner managed to change into a corporal, surrendered to the americans and disappeared forever in relation to the major. konstantin smokovsky. yes, you can say that there was no happiness. yes, misfortune will help. after the dizette part of the personnel of the battalion. he was sent to one of the concentration camps, he was released because he was a person born outside the ussr machine gunner in his bed. vladimir katyuk, the

same one who shot the inhabitants of khatyn from his machine gun in the hot shed, after the defeat of germany, ended up in an american hospital. after that, he issued false documents for himself for several years, he lived in paris and worked. there, in the butcher's shop in the fifty-first, he emigrated to canada there, finally, they managed to calculate him, he lived under his last name. uh, only later, when a special investigation was carried out in the soviet union, and the name of the hook surfaced in the crimes. battalion. still, there were three large companies, mortar, that's what, and so on. as a result of such a long work, more than twenty policemen. found in the seventy-fourth, the first punishers of the ukrainian battalion were brought to trial. this is the five lacus of the trigger sakhno lazinsky knab, these

are all civilians. from ukraine we drew them in the seventy-third year we worked. according to the place of residence, investigator fyodor drozdov recalled that when the lapusta was arrested, he said that i had been waiting for you for so many years, but you did not come. and now i have the wife of la bushes did not know about her husband's terrible secret. true, later she confessed that she was always surprised when a crime was shown on tv, the nazis, her husband turned very pale and left the room. but another person involved, stepan sakhno, had to be split for a long time, unlike the accomplices of the submissive war battalion. he ended up on the offensive at the end of his service and left this battalion.

who could know something about the execution of the headman of the underground and his family. however, he behaved strangely from the window, pointing at one person. he named the surname of another, while he is excellent. he remembered the smallest details of wartime events to expose him helped. from the testimony of one of the punishers it was known that a young man served in the 118th battalion. a policeman outwardly similar to sakhno, this policeman is nicknamed. makhno was very fond of football and played at number nine once, instead of being interrogated, he dried up.
