About the book: 2005 / In 1941–1942, shortly after the start of hostilities actions, the Nazis committed many crimes against the civilian Soviet population and Soviet prisoners of war. In particular, hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war - young men - were starved to death, although in 1941 Germany was by no means experiencing a shortage of food. However, repressive measures turned the population against the Germans, and they were forced to partially change their policy.
