The Federal Security Service of Russia has published declassified materials about the crimes of the Nazi occupiers and their accomplices in the Kharkov region during the Great Patriotic War.
Ka reports on its website press service departments, the materials were declassified and made widely public within the framework of the “No Statute of Limitations” project.
The event is timed to coincide with the 80th anniversary of the completion of the Kharkov trial in 1943 in the case of the atrocities of the Nazis and their accomplices. The documents contain testimony from participants in punitive actions, as well as convictions.
Employees of the Investigative Department of the Main Counterintelligence Directorate (GUKR) “Smersh” took an active part in the interrogations of German prisoners of war and witnesses to the mass extermination of Soviet citizens.
“The arrested were beaten so brutally that heartbreaking screams filled the entire house on Sumskaya Street in Kharkov. I could not deliver Russian people mutilated half to death to prison,” a statement from one of the interrogated is quoted.
An interrogation of a traitor was also published Mikhaila Bulanova, who served as a driver in the Kharkov branch of the Gestapo. He said that people were killed en masse by suffocation in “gas van vehicles” specially equipped for this purpose. There were many children among the victims.
“I had to clean the body, where I often found men’s and women’s shoes, children’s boots and hats left there,” he admitted.
Previously EADaily reported that in the Volnovakha region of the Donetsk People’s Republic, FSB officers discovered a cache of secret documents from the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU).
