2:53 One year after German occupation of Kharkiv and the Ukrainian population still looks skinny and malnourished. The Germans plundered the food reserves as a means to fulfill the hunger plan. All of the Ukrainian signs from the Soviet era were gradually being replaced by German ones. Через рік після німецької окупації Харкова українське населення все ще виглядає худим і недоїданим. Німці грабували продовольчі запаси як засіб для виконання плану голодування. Усі українські вивіски радянських часів поступово витіснялися німецькими.

You would be correct as most Soviet cities fell relatively quickly. During 1941 and 1942, the Soviet Red Army experienced major losses and the Wehrmacht penetrated deep into Soviet territory until they reached the Volga by the end of the summer. It was only after 1943 when the tide of the war changed in favor of the Soviets. This is precisely when most of these cities experienced severe destruction as the Wehrmacht attempted to hold onto these cities with fierce resistance.

To piggyback off of a comment made by someone else about how modern the city looks: In the same vein, most of the architecture we consider "modern" today when we think of a suburb or city in 2024 is stuff that was constructed during the 70s-90s. Weird how the lifespan of architecture tends to be crazy long compared to fashion or pop culture trends.

Real locals are those who sell bottles at the market. My great grandmother was deported to Germany for work. Each worker's arm had a tattoo of the number. In Germany, the great-grandmother was lucky with family in which she worked, they're sympathetically. Others were much less fortunate and did not return.

Моего деда тоже отправили в Германию в город Эссен. Он был плотником, попал в семью владельца мебельной фабрики. К нему хорошо относились, возможно из-за того что хозяин сам потерял двоих сыновей. Старший сын был коммунистом, его убили гитлеровцы во время ночи длинных ножей. А младший погиб на восточном фронте.

The film is originally one hour long and I only clipped the parts to show life in Kharkov during this time period. I did not post the full film because it shows some pretty graphic scenes and a fair amount of death and destruction. The German photographer who captured this film showed close ups of dead Ukrainian / Russian soldiers with some very distressing wounds.

My house is just 7 kilometers away from the places shown in the video, built by my greatgrandpa in 1936. My 13 grandfather is there with his 5 sisters and brothers, one more was figting, another was POW. He used to tell me that on Sumsyaya street , which is shown here, during first days of occupation germans hanged jews on balconies. Also after surrender in 1942 Barvenkovo operation there were tens, if not hundreds of thouthnds POW walking down the Poltavskiy Shlyah, which is also partially shown here. One of them gave my granddad money to buy food and he went to the market while they were marching down the road. He brought tomatoes and found that soldier. At least some contribution from the kid)) Anyway, I look at this at imagine myself on all these streets that are very well known, thinking that if I just appear there I would run to my hourse, that I rebuilt now and live in, to check on my ancestors.
