ROA (Russian Liberation Army) has become our shame.No army in the world could not be compared with our on the number of defectors, forced and voluntary.Approximately 130 thousand soldiers, officers and generals of the Red Army stood for the German banner.Among them was an outstanding personality.Who are the "heroes" of the ROA and other military formations of the Wehrmacht, where they came from?Everything in order.

Vlasov

Lieutenant-General of the Red Army Andrey Vlasov was an outstanding Soviet commander.It is now possible to assert without irony.After the Civil War, he was more than two decades of his life to strengthening the defense capability of the Soviet Union, has caused a stir in China (1938-1939), he taught military science, skillfully commanded the troops, was an excellent organizer.Since the beginning of the Great Patriotic Vlasov is on the most important and difficult parts of the front, protects the Kiev and Moscow.Was injured.The authority of its troops in the conquered military labor, which partly explains the unfortunate fact that the Germans have moved even some heroes.ROA was completed mostly prisoners of war, and there were many.The pilots of the Soviet Air Force tenniken, Bychkov and Antilevsky received their Gold Star in Tashkent ...

Heroes ROA.Who is it?

The Russian Liberation Army fought against their own and other talented commanders.Deputy Vlasov for propaganda work was the brigade commissar of the Red Army Zhilenkov G. - former secretary of the Moscow city committee of CFS.That's been a political worker, and it still is.Two ordenonosnogo general, the teacher Academy of the General Staff of the Red Army, and Malishkin Truhin, was in charge of organizational issues.Hero Defense of Liepaja Annunciation, as well as Shapovalov, in 1941, skillfully defended the Crimea, did not remain idle and the Germans.Both the Red Army generals.

dreamed about Vlasov and Ukrainian nationalist

AA Vlasov was a man of war, and are likely to understand that even in the event of victory Hitler will not be enough resources to keep the occupied territories for a long time.It is possible, he believed that if two of the dictator long enough will to fight among themselves, they exhausted their state apparatus sufficiently that the remaining regime fell by itself.It was on the basis of further political prospects conflicts with Hitler and the leadership of Stepan Bandera and Andrei Vlasov.Declaring the possibility of independent German states, they angered the Fuhrer's plans which are not included to create a free state of the Russian and the more "nezalezhnu Ukraine."What the dream of "heroes" of the ROA and the UPA was a utopia.Perhaps they did not understand.

Destiny traitors

On the side of the Vlasov Army fought two royal generals, skins and red.They were the heroes of World War I and its future allies inflicted considerable damage.During Brusilovsky breakthrough Cossacks, led personally Krasnov, strung on their peaks hundred Austrian soldiers."Wolf hundred" Shkuro conducted raids deep behind enemy lines.

Dobrobabin Ivan, one of the famous Panfilov, defending Moscow, was wounded, taken prisoner, where he agreed to cooperate with the Germans.

These and other "heroes" ROA after the war were executed or served long prison terms.Some are fortunate enough to escape their fate was more safely under the sun of Argentina, Australia and other distant countries.It is unlikely that they ever will remember a kind word at home.With respect to the traitors we have never treated.
