Yes, This That's what it looks like. It's a website of the authoritative London OUN banner archive, explaining that Auschwitz was the site of Ukrainian martyrdom.
Next to a moving communicative Political prisoner's albumPaladija Osynka, a Ukrainian nationalist who had a good time in a helmet drawing caricatures – from a bilingual English-Ukrainian entry we besides learn about the past of the heroic fight between UPA and the German occupier.
UPA v...
“The Ukrainians saw the actual face of the most terrible enemy and fought him. This fight was silent, but long lasting and merciless. Those who managed to avoid arrest and forced labour went underground and from there began to fight the invader. Insurgency troops began to rise, gaining weapons to defend the rights of the Ukrainian people. These troops became the backbone of the Ukrainian Insurgency Army under unified command, which undertook a number of military actions against the occupier, fighting him mercilessly, eliminating its material bases and destroying its transports. Each soldier knows what it means to have an underground front in the back, so he will be able to appreciate the function of the Ukrainian Insurgency Army in the fight against Nazi Nazism” - We read.
"Revolutionaryists"
And all this was done despite the German panic aimed at the bander: "And erstwhile neither threats nor force from the German armed forces could force the Provisional Ukrainian Government in Lviv to resolve, Hitler decided to usage force to suppress the independency movement on Ukrainian lands. Prime Minister Jarosław Stećko, members of the government and leaders of the independency movement were arrested and sent to Sachsenhausen concentration camp. The Gestapo began shooting prominent and well-known revolutionaries [that's what members of the flag movement are called],send them to prisons and concentration camps”.
Different versions of not only language
However, the Banders fought bravely further. "In the spring of 1943, UPA expanded to the Dniepr River, with its ranks steadily growing, supplemented by soldiers of another nationalities, as well as Red Army deserters". In addition, "The Ukrainians fought the common enemy, besides being soldiers and officers of all Allied armies. Their heroic fight against Hitler's tyranny in the ranks of the Canadian Army (Dieppe), the Polish Army (Monte Casino) and especially the Red Army(sic!) She has gained the designation of the full world!”. What is characteristic, praise of Ukrainians serving with RKK and WP was found only in the English version of the text. However, the full is calculated to trigger a clear impression: 2,000,000 Ukrainians who went to German concentration camps during the war, first of all, if not only Ukrainian nationalist sympathizers. Similarly, from the English version, the message that 15,000 Ukrainian prisoners of war died and murdered in Auschwitz were Red Army soldiers disappears. The reader should have no uncertainty that they were surely unbreakable.
So the cheering point resounds with pride and power: "The past of all wars in east Europe teaches that anyone who ignored or wants to ignore the Ukrainian people's will to live independently will be destroyed".
Well, you know how Auschwitz truly was and who defeated the 3rd Reich.
You're welcome.
