"In Belgium, a collaborationist military unit, Legion Vlaandern (Flanders Legion), is established."
------------------------------------

"Dozens of German soldiers observe Jews murdered as a result of the Ternopol, Ukraine, massacres in July 1941.
Several of the German soldiers cover their noses with handkerchiefs because of the odor of the decaying corpses.
German military commanders exploited local antisemitism wherever their troops went, egging on hateful locals and encouraging German soldiers to participate in the violence.
The Ternopol pogrom began on July 4, just two days after German troops took the city."


"About a third of the population of Minsk, Belorussia, was Jewish by the time the Germans arrived in June 1941.
The city's Jews were confined to a ghetto beginning in July, and executions and deportations took place with metronomic regularity.

"In this photo, Adolf Wedekind, a member of a German police regiment, poses in front of a Nazi display replete with a portrait of Hitler.
Wedekind's regiment was involved in the executions of Soviet partisans in the areas surrounding Minsk.
As the German Army extended its hold over Europe, the question of manpower became critical.
Police regiments like Wedekind's were instrumental in carrying out the racial reordering of Eastern Europe."

Ternopol may have indeed been instigated by the Germans, but it was carried out by the Ukrainian Nationalists, who had been starved to death by the millions, and beaten by the commissars that the local jews supported wholeheartedly.

That’s one of the cruel facts that gets lost in the political correctness. Many of the the Jews of Eastern Europe saw Communism as their salvation from the pogroms of the past, and wholeheartedly embraced it.

This was a land already soaked in blood long before the Nazi’s arrived.
