You speculate (falsely) that Patton would have executed a Ukrainian Freedom Fighter who spent most of the war in a Nazi Concetration camp (where his brothers died).
But what do you think of what Patton had to say of the Russians?
Little did Patton know that the Kremlin and its agents would go on to kill 50 million.
"You speculate (falsely) that Patton would have executed a Ukrainian Freedom Fighter who spent most of the war in a Nazi Concetration camp (where his brothers died)."
First, quick question - how can I "speculate falsely"? They didn't teach you proper English at the KGB school in Kiev - you should ask your handlers to send you to another course.
Second - Patton would gladly have executed a person (Stepan Bandera) who oversaw and ran an operation in Lvov that was responsible for the deaths of thousands of Jews and Poles. Patton recognized that some Nazis also ended up in the concentration camps - after they outlived their usefulness to the Germans - especially if they were "sub-human Slavs" (Nazis' words, not mine).
How are those KUN meetings going traitor?
Once again from the US Dept. of Justice's Nazi hunter:
"Hitlers subsequent invasion of the USSR in June 1941 was aided in no small measure by fascist Ukrainian paramilitaries, such as the nationalist anti-Russian Ukrainian separatist organization - the Melnyk Faction; and the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) with its paramilitary force, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (under the command of Stepan Bandera - of whom, more, later), which had, for instance, assisted the Germans in their takeover of Kovel, in northwestern Ukraine."
And from a prominent Jewish (British now) historian:
"Historian Reuben Ainsztein has chronicled the widespread and voluntary help given by the Ukrainian Nationalists to the Nazi exterminations in Western Ukraine. In his classic Jewish Resistance in Nazi-Occupied Eastern Europe, he states that at the beginning of the Nazi occupation, the OUN leaders:
"Stetsko and Bandera proclaimed the creation of a "free Ukraine" and organized a 31,000 strong militia . . . The militia played a most important part in making it possible for the Einsatzkommando to carry out their task of genocide and terror until the middle of August [1941] . . . The militia was then disbanded and 3,000 cut-throats were allowed to enroll in the Ukrainian auxiliary police which was to play such an abominable role in the annihilation of the Jews in Eastern Europe."
In the first eight months of Nazi occupation of Western Ukraine, 15 per cent of Galician Jews - 100,000 people - were slaughtered by the joint actions of the Germans and Ukrainian Nationalists. Jewish-Canadian survivor and decorated anti-Nazi partisan Nahum Kohn describes the Ukrainian fascist role in the holocaust in Ukraine's Volyn region: ". . . whenever Jews were slaughtered, four or five Germans would participate, 'helped' by 100 or 200 Ukrainian Nationalists. When the Ukraine was virtually Judenfrei ('cleansed of Jews'), the Banderovtsy (OUN-Bandera) turned on their Polish neighbors."8 In his autobiography, Kohn describes how his partisans came to the rescue of the Polish inhabitants of Pshebrazhe, ravished by Banderite fascists who had slaughtered 40 per cent of the villagers."
Another Jewish historian comments on Bandera and his people:
"In July 1941 in Lviv, the OUN Nationalists declared a "Day in Honor of the Memory of Petliura" and turned the streets red with the blood of Jewish victims. As holocaust historian Lucy Dawidowicz states:
"In Lwow the Germans and Ukrainian [Nationalists], in house-to-house hunts for Jews, shot them randomly on the spot. Belatedly avenging the assassination . . . of Petliura, notorious anti-Semite . . . the Ukrainians staged mammoth pogroms, slaughtering thousands and carrying off other thousands of Jews to Einsatzgruppen headquarters. Within hours or days, those Jews who had been taken away were machine-gunned en masse at some remote desolate area. The disaster was epic . . ."15
Another full-page Black Deeds tribute honors the Nazi "Major" and murderer Roman Shukhevych, commander of the bloody Nachtigall Battalion. 16 Following the reorganization of his troops into Nazi Schutzmannschaft battalions in the summer of 1941, Shukhevych, under Nazi direction, led his men into Byelorussia to slaughter partisans, Jews, and peasants. Later in the war, this recipient of the Nazi Iron Cross commanded the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), which Ainsztein describes as "the most dangerous and cruel enemies of surviving Jews, Polish peasants and settlers, and all anti-German partisans."
"Although the Melnyk and Bandera tendencies of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists were at odds with each other and even fought each other, we can see here how they collaborated against the Communists under the leadership of the German Nazis.
The Nazi officer Scholtze revealed in front of the Nuremberg tribunal that Kanaris, the head of German intelligence, had `personally instructed the Abwehr to set up an underground network to continue the struggle against Soviet power in the Ukraine. Competent agents were left behind specially to direct the Nationalist movement'"
I'll be waiting to see how you try to disparage the men quoted in these articles who fought in the anti-Nazi resistance (Polish freedom fighters), did NOT help the communists, and now reside in Britain, Canada, and the US. These are men who saw what your hero Bandera did first hand.
BTW, it was a common mistake to refer to the Soviet Union as Russia - much like some people call Great Britain (Scotland, N. Ireland, Wales, England) "England". But why not use that "Russia" qoute by Patton to mean he didn't see Belarus, Ukraine, etc., as part of the Soviet Union. More revisionist history from the communist trained spanalot.
