Anti-partisan operations Ukraine
Anti-partisan operations Ukraine
Hello everybody.
It is known that Germans carried out anti-partisan operations. There is a lot of information about such operations in Belarus.
However, I did not meet such information in Ukraine.
Perhaps someone has some information about such operations.

Re: Anti-partisan operations Ukraine
Hi Viktor,
As an introduction to the subject you could read Philip W. Blood's 'Hitler's Bandit Hunter' and Perry Biddiscombe's 'The SS Bandit Hunters'.
I'm certain that other forum members could recommend state/regional archive sources.

Re: Anti-partisan operations Ukraine
You might try
'Wehrmacht und Besatzungspolitik in der Sowjetunion', Jörn Hasenclever
Varianten des Terrors, Herwig Baum - compares Romanian and German occupation polices in southern part of the Soviet Union
Besatzungspolitik und Massenmord, Andrej Angrick - Einsatzgruppe D in the southern Soviet Union 1941 - 1943
these should give you the back ground of the situation and hopefully points to material of more interest. There must be some books on the different Ukrainian partisans the OUN and OPA (I would be interested in some suggestions). In Galicia I think it was a free-for-all with the different ethnic groups killing each other (think there is a book covering it). If I remember correctly, things were pretty calm until after Kursk. The Ukrainian group fought the advancing Soviet forces as much as the retreating German forces. The partisan groups were only completely suppressed by Soviet security forces in the early 1950s. I did look around the internet a little and it may be that there were no large-scale anti-partisan operation in the Ukraine like there Belarus.
You might also look at
Nicht ermittelt, Stefan Klemp or Ordnungspolizei, Massimo Arico, which cover the German Order Police, some of which must have operated in the Ukraine.
Sorry I don't remember any books covering just what you are interested in.

The book 'Wehrmacht und Besatzungspolitik in der Sowjetunion', Jörn Hasenclever, I reviewed, unfortunately, no specifics.
Another book, if I find it will look. In Ukraine it is difficult to get them.
The struggle of Ukrainian insurgents in Volhynia against the Germans began in the winter of 1943 and in the spring already reaches such proportions. That the general commissar of Volyn and Podillya Shane said: "The fact is that in such areas as Gorokhov, Lyubomil, Dubno, Kremenets and, in part, Lutsk, we must talk about the uprising".
Red banners also testify in the reports of strong German battles against the UPA.
I have some maps on this topic.

Re: Anti-partisan operations Ukraine
It was T501 R29 that seemed to have interesting information

Two DVDs with 1,406 images of reports from Befehlshaber Heeresgebiet B concerning the activities of various security divisions, 7 May - 14 Oct 43; correspondence on interned Italian forces and on Italian volunteers willing to fight in German units, 19 Sep - 11 Nov 43; reports on preparation for bringing in and guarding the harvest, 2 Feb 42 -19 Sep 43; reports on new combat methods used by partisan units and on German countermeasures, 9 Mar - 11 Nov 43; reports on security measures taken for the protection of railroads, transportation of security troops, as well as reports concerning the tactics of partisan groups, 23 Apr - 11 Nov 43.

Re: Anti-partisan operations Ukraine
Unternehmen "Weichsel III" (01.08-10.08.1943)
The transaction was conducted on the territory of Wolyn (Ukraine).
Before the operation were involved:
825 Volga-Tatar battalion
102 Cossack Cavalry Division
and units from 4th, 12th, 13th and 26th SS Police regiments
Perhaps somebody knows the details?
