Violations of Russian women by the Germans (II)

If you search Interner for rapes of women in the Second World War, almost all of the pages are devoted to rapes of German women by the Allies and some pages to Korean comfort women, raped by the Japanese. It is practically impossible to find pages dedicated to the violations committed by the Germans in Russia and other occupied countries and you have to search, with difficulty, in other pages dedicated to German atrocities.

German women with Russian soldiers in Berlin
Here we have some very interesting examples of the behavior of the "gentlemen" Germans.

On January 6, 1942, People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the USSR Vyacheslav Molotov sent to the ambassadors of all countries with which Moscow maintained diplomatic relations a note on the atrocities of the German authorities in the occupied Soviet territories. This document lists numerous incidents of occupational violence against Soviet women and girls. Here are a few quotes.

“The village of Basmanovo of the Glinkovsky district of the Smolensk region, liberated by our troops in early September, was a solid ashes after the Germans took over. On the very first day, the Nazi monsters drove out more than 200 schoolchildren and schoolgirls who came to the village to harvest, surrounded them and brutally shot them. Big they took a group of schoolgirls to their rear “for the gentlemen officers” ... In the city of Smolensk, the German command opened a brothel for officers in one of the hotels, in which hundreds of girls and women were driven in, dragged by the arms, by the hair, ruthlessly dragged along the bridge Everywhere, the brutalized German bandits burst into homes, rape women and girls in front of their relatives and their children, mock raped women and brutally crack down on their victims.

In the city of Lvov 32 workers of the Lvov sewing factory were raped and then killed by German attack aircraft. Drunken German soldiers dragged Lvov girls and young women to Kosciuszko Park and brutally raped them ... In the city of Tikhvin, Leningrad Region, 15-year-old Kolodetskaya, being wounded by a fragment, was brought to the hospital, where the wounded German soldiers were. Despite the injury, Kolodetskaya was raped by a group of German soldiers, which caused her death. "*

How the Germans dealt with captured Russian women

Residents of Smagleyevka (Voronezh region), after their liberation in 1943, said that at the beginning of the war, a young Red Army girl died in a terrible death. She was seriously injured. Despite this, the Nazis stripped her naked, dragged to the road and shot.

The unfortunate traces of torture remained on the unfortunate body. Before her death, her breasts were cut off, her whole face and hands were completely shredded. The woman's body was a continuous bloody mess. Similarly, they acted with Zoya Kosmodemyanskoy. Before the indicative execution, the Nazis spent hours half-naked in the cold. 

In addition to these atrocities, female Red Army soldiers were constantly raped. The highest military ranks of the Wehrmacht were forbidden to enter into intimate relations with the Slavs, so they did it secretly. The rank and file here had a certain freedom. Finding one female Red Army man or nurse, she could be raped by a whole company of soldiers. If the girl after that did not die, she was shot.
Hanging Russian civilians

The following are a few examples of the treatment of "civilized" Germans with captive women soldiers.

In August 1941, on the orders of Emil Knol, commander of the field gendarmerie of the 44th Infantry Division, a prisoner of war was shot - a military doctor.

In the city of Mglinsk in the Bryansk region in 1941, the Germans captured two girls from the sanitary unit and shot them.
A prisoner of war girl shot by invaders. The Red Army uniform is clearly visible.


After the defeat of the Red Army in the Crimea in May 1942, an unknown girl in military uniform was hiding in the house of a resident of Buryachenko in the Mayak fishing village of Mayak near Kerch. On May 28, 1942, the Germans discovered her during a search. The girl resisted the Nazis, shouting: “Shoot, you bastards!” I am dying for the Soviet people, for Stalin, and you, monsters, will come dog death! ” The girl was shot in the yard.

At the end of August 1942, a group of sailors was shot in the village of the Crimean Krasnodar Territory, among them there were several girls in uniform.

In the village of Starotitarovskaya of the Krasnodar Territory, among the shot prisoners of war, a corpse of a girl in a red army uniform was found. She had a passport in the name of Tatyana Alexandrovna Mikhailova, 1923, a native of the village of Novo-Romanovka.

In the village of Vorontsovo-Dashkovskoye of the Krasnodar Territory in September 1942, the captured military assistant parasite Glubokova and Yachmenev were brutally tortured.

On January 5, 1943, not far from Severny Farm, 8 Red Army soldiers were captured. Among them is a nurse named Luba. After prolonged torture and bullying, all prisoners were shot.

Division intelligence translator P. Rafes recalls that in the village of Smagleyevka, liberated in 1943, 10 km from Kantemirovka, residents told how, in 1941, “a wounded lieutenant girl was pulled naked on the road, her face, hands, and breasts were cut ...”

Often captured women were exposed to violence before death. A soldier from the 11th Panzer Division, Hans Rudhoff, testifies that in the winter of 1942 “... Russian nurse-men lay on the roads. They were shot and thrown onto the road. They lay naked ... On these dead bodies ... obscene inscriptions were written. "
