It's true, but the main problem is that this actually a part of American history too. One of the member of RLA or "РОА" in russian, has served to american government and army headquarters in Pentagon, his name Andrew G. Aldan. And he wrote a memories on émigré in the US, you can read this on Michael Schatoff books and newspapers articles.

As a Czech that grew up under Communism, I was told of these men by my non-party parents, but in early school I was taught that the Red Army liberated all of Czechoslovakia (no mention of USA liberation Plzen and Western CZ).

​@user-vv9sl9ln2e Consdering what preparation it took in terms of logisitics, material (special tanks and such) and not to mention aerial supremacy to get to the point where a succesful invasion of France was feasable I find any invasionin France before 1944 unlikely to succeed. Consider how long it took the allies to break out of Normandy when facing only a relatively small portion of the German/SS army that had already been depleted by years of fighting in Russia, North AFrica and Italy as well as an intensive (tactical and strategic) bombing-campaign. The folowing article sums it up pretty wel IMO: "What is less well known is that the Normandy invasion was a product of two and half years of often bitter wrangling between the United States and Great Britain. It was an episode that demonstrated the great gulf between the institutional cultures of the U.S. and British armed forces, and the difference in their understanding of how the war should be fought. Talk of a cross-channel invasion first surfaced just days after the German declaration of war on the United States in December 1941. U.S. and British military planners met in Washington, D.C. later that same month to coordinate their efforts in the European and Pacific theaters. For American generals a landing in northern France, carried out as soon as humanly possible, was the natural way to wage war-what we might call today a “no-brainer.” This was, what military historian Russell Weigley calls “The American Way of War,” and had been since the days of Ulysses S. Grant. After all, this was precisely how Grant won the Civil War: by marshaling overwhelming force and smashing his way toward Richmond. Because the shortest route from London to Berlin ran through northern France, the argument went, a cross-channel invasion was the quickest and surest route to victory. In addition, a landing in northern France would relieve some of the pressure on the beleaguered Soviet Union, as the Red Army at that point was facing some 90 percent of German forces. The British Imperial General Staff, as well as Prime Minister Winston Churchill, were horrified by this logic. The English Channel was a far cry from northern Virginia, and 1942 was not 1864. As these discussions were going on, the German Luftwaffe controlled the skies over Western Europe, and U-boats were prowling the Atlantic, sinking Allied merchant ships with seeming impunity. To Churchill and his generals the Americans appeared overconfident, even cocky. U.S. troops had never tasted combat, while the British had fought German forces in Norway, Belgium, France, Greece, and North Africa-and in almost every case had lost. Moreover, given the still-incomplete state of American mobilization, any cross-channel invasion would have to be a predominantly British affair. Memories of the Dunkirk evacuation remained fresh in their minds; if the invasion were to go sour, would the Allies be as lucky as they had been then, when the British Expeditionary Force had managed to escape (although without its tanks, artillery, and other heavy weapons)? And if the invasion force did succeed in establishing a beachhead, might the result not just be another stationary front, and a repeat of the bloody stalemates of the Western Front in World War I? The argument went on through the winter of 1941-42. President Roosevelt was ultimately convinced that there could be no invasion in 1942, and American generals had to settle for landings on the coast of relatively undefended French North Africa. The debate flared up again early in 1943, but this time Churchill persuaded Roosevelt that, with North Africa secured, Sicily and southern Italy were the logical next steps. But the U.S. Army had never given up on the idea of the cross-channel invasion, and the President himself would brook no further delays. At the Tehran Conference in late 1943 Roosevelt and Churchill both committed to an invasion of northern France in spring 1944-to the satisfaction of Stalin, who had been demanding the opening of a “Second Front” in Western Europe since December 1941. Whether a cross-channel invasion could have been successful in 1943, or even 1942, remains one of the great “what-ifs” of World War II. Fortunately we know that the real D-Day-June 6, 1944-was a complete success." Or: usni.org/magazines/naval-history-magazine/2019/june/d-day-year-too-late

@user-vv9sl9ln2e First off: Sweden? They were neutral. And I doubt there were many swedish volunteers for the SS tbh. There is no doubt that the USSR did most of the heavy lifting between 1941-1943/44. The US wanted to invade earlier, but the UK restrained them for reasons as explained above, which I find compelling. An earlier, ill-prepared invasion may well have been a disaster that would hav left Nazi-germany in a postion to concentrate nearly all its efforts and forces on the USSR for years afterwards. That as a geopolitical result of this Eastern Europe came to fall under the de facto influcence (understatement of the year) of the USSR is undeniable. The countries there changed several years of fascist dictatorship of one kind or another for communist dictatorship that would last many decades.

I’ve been intrigued with the ‘ Vlasovites ‘ ever since.

After Stalingrad, and especially Bagration, the situation for the Germans was absolutely chaotic, to say the least. Add to that the machinations of Himmler, a desk jockey who wanted to be seen as some fearsome hero. The result was Himmler letting basically anyone into the SS, which was basically his private army toward the end of the war. There still isn't really an accurate number on how many SS divisions there actually were, because they were constantly being added, combined, shutdown, etc. at war's end.

Slaying Prisoners of War was certainly a crime, but of course the Czechs suffered at the hands of the Germans during the war. Nevertheless, many such unpunished crimes were started by POA and Czechs!

The criminals were the nazifacists who started the tango. People should ask themselves why there were very few german soldiers massacred in the cities insurrections in the West. Naples, Lanciano, Bologna, Genova liberated themselves but did not slaughter the German occupier because the nazifacists occupation was less ferocious than in the East. The brutality of German occupation was such that reprisals were a natural consequence I have compassion for your grandfather but he was killed by the nazifacists, the Czechs were only the instrument.

@@felixmbandandayitabi4536 Yes, you are right, but every soldier had his own story, which we no longer know today. My great-grandfather lived as an ethnic German in the north of Yugoslavia (Batschka), which was occupied by Hungary in 1941. He first fought for his king for Yugoslavia against Germany. In 1941, my great-grandfather was taken to Honved and did service for Hungary. When Horthy wanted to negotiate a bilateral peace with Russia for Hungary in 1944, the German Waffen-SS occupied Budapest. Now my great-grandfather was conscripted into the German Waffen-SS. So now he was a Nazi fascist and perhaps deserved to die. But unfortunately I can no longer ask him how he felt about changing flags three times. What had been his plans and goals for his life?

We don't deny that crimes happened during displacement of German speakers from Czechoslovakia now, but you have to understand 2 things - you can't judge it from today point of view, it was right after WWII and we were occupied by Germany for 6+ years, people are just people and did what people are doing after war, Germans would not act better if it was vice versa and second thing is that after 1948, we fell under communist dictatorship and it was totaly banned to speak about such things, so, many people never heard about these events or don't believe to that, this topic is spoken again since 90s, but most of people still don't know anything about that, so you can't hear sorry from Czechs when they don't even know it happened. We still have to discover more about these events, did people attecked just generally all german speakers or they targeted mainly people who they believed they did something bad during protectorate? We don't know, after 40 years of communism, all data are lost and people who could remember that are dead.

And important thing is that ROA were not nazis, they were just against soviets, so they joined their enemies, it was a world war and not everyone knew about what nazis really are and what were they doing, you can't judge it from today point of view when we already know everything.

He was imprisoned only for 5 years, that's nonsence. Gladly, when he returned home to his village, he was ingored by neighbours and once beaten by men who went through the war in the Red Army. As far as i know later he left to Georgia, married there a local woman and that's it.

Interesting account. Gen Vlasov was first a victim of Stalin's and Stavka's high-handedness, in that it pushed them into a disastrous battle, and directed them NOT to retreat when faced with encirclement and then when the army under his command was encircled, with depleting stock of food and ammunition, expected them to just die fighting. Pathetic! Another example of the russian state treating their soldiers are expendable fodderl. But then again, the tenacity and the sacrifices which the Russians still made for their motherland to get rid of the Nazis, they won the WW2, inspite of the wretches like Stalin and his crony brutes. It was for that betrayal that Vlasov decided to join the Germans, and yet, there can be no reasoning or justification for such treason, especially when everybody knew how the Germans were treating the Russians, or the Poles and the Czechs etc, the Slavs as a whole, Vlasov and his crew would have to pay with their lives to atone for that grave crime, even if he thought his grudge against the Stalinist regime was justified, in all fairness, IT WAS NOT! On the other hand, the west has always entertained brutal regimes, so long as it is expedient, I meant they even stood by the apartheid regime of South Africa for the most part.

Now I know a great many people who say something like "history repeats" but according to Mark Twain, "history doesn't repeat, but it does echo". And it's been echoing again, only this time since 2014, when some the relatives and decendants of those same Cossacks, who as you just heard, were mostly from the Don Basin, rose up against their masters in Kiev,and decided to establish the new, independent States of Lukhansk and Donets Republics. That mostly the Cossacks that decided to throw in their lot with Hitler against the Bolsheviks were also from mostly f⁹ n Basin region, so they've been made into the "dangerous gang of rabble rousers, hell bent on achieving their goals, which is a separatist State from Ukraine". He would have been right then, as now. So, are there any Nazis to collaborate with? No. But there are rather large and nasty, well organised and funded Far Right political Parties, some with there own armed wings like the Azov Battalion, who, in an instant can be brought to bare upon any group of Citizens making "to much noise" for those in power.

The US agreement to turn Vlasov troops over to Stalin was short-sighted given Soviet treachery. The Soviet plan always was to spread Communism as far Westward and Eastward as it could. Remember, they tried to starve West Berlin in 1948, requiring the Berlin Airlift. In the end, winning the Cold War required recruiting many Axis supporters - e.g. Operation Paperclip.

7:25 - The Czechs certainly did not arrest ROA soldiers! Watch the videos of retreating ROA units, the Czechs greet and host them. Then the Americans handed them over to the Soviets!

Интересно будет почитать комментарии под этим видео. Когда я читал комментарии к видео Mark Felton на похожую тему, я видел там много сочувствия к этим тварям («проклятые британцы, они сдали этих прекрасных людей на съедение кровавому Сталину😭😭😭😭»). Хотя кого я осуждаю, когда у нас самих с личного разрешения администрации президента повесили табличку Маннергейму в Петербурге, где он заморил сотни тысяч людей голодом.

Not true about Bulgarian battalions. There weren't such. A very small group of military MEDICS (not soldiers) was indeed sent to the Germans, but as you can imagine they weren't fighting. As Tsar Boris 3 notoriously told Hitler: If I send Bulgarian army to the Eastern front, they will defect to the Russians together with the military orchestra."SO no, never happened.

Adolf Hitler's Family Background: Connections to Bohemia and Czech Origins Adolf Hitler was indeed not a true German, but he acquired German citizenship later in his life. He was also not truly Austrian, but Alois Hitler, the father of Adolf Hitler, was indeed from the small village of Strones (now Stronice), located in the region of Bohemia, which was then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and is now in the Czech Republic. His first wife, the mother of Adolf Hitler, Klara Pölzl, also had Czech origins. Thus, on his father's side, Adolf Hitler's family had connections to the village of Strones in Bohemia, and on his mother's side, there were Czech origins.
