"Belgian Walloon Volunteers for the Struggle Against Bolshevism take an oath to the Führer and commander-in-chief, Adolf Hitler.
Nazi anti-Marxism was one of its most attractive features in the eyes of many Europeans, and Hitler and his henchmen used it to recruit volunteer soldiers from all of the occupied countries."


"Soldiers with a Wehrmacht propaganda unit film the anti-Jewish riot that began with the German occupation of Lvov on June 30, 1941.
The Nazis incited the Ukrainians to seek revenge against the Jews.
They then filmed the murderous four-day rampage to demonstrate how much even their own Ukrainian countrymen hated the Jews.
Some 4000 died in the pogrom."
