That was the group I had in mind when I made my post, they as Polish Jews were of course absolutely entitled to kill as many godammed Nazis as they could and good luck to them, they were not however entitled to ally themselves with Soviet occupiers in killing and robbing their fellow Poles.
Well, allying with the Soviets was a necessary evil, since the Communists sent special forces troops behind German lines to identify, contact and liquidate partisan groups not clearly subordinate to Moscow to prevent the emergence of an anti-Communist nucleus to post-war resistance to Stalin’s rule.
It’s shocking, but the Soviets probably killed as many anti-Nazi partisans behind German lines as the Nazis.
But the Bielski brothers’ assassination of Polish peasants for the mere crime of paying occupation taxes was indeed a war crime meriting their deaths.
