Russian FSB releases historical data on atrocities against Soviet POWs
2021-06-26
Direct Translation of the article
[RIA Novosti] During the Nazi occupation of Crimea during the Great Patriotic War, Hitler's doctors experimented on prisoners of war and civilian Soviet citizens - they cut out kidneys and blood vessels from people, pumped out blood for the wounded German military.

Once near the basement where the prisoners of war were kept, they found a note. "We are sitting here, doomed to death, experiments are being done on us, they are giving mysterious injections," Galkin quoted its contents.
This is evidenced by archival materials declassified by the FSB department for the Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol, which RIA Novosti got acquainted with.

#3  Among these documents is a special message "On the atrocities of the German occupiers against prisoners of war and civilians in the city of Simferopol", sent on April 24, 1944 by the head of the Soviet military counterintelligence department Smersh of the 51st Army, Colonel Alexander Nikiforov, addressed to the head of the Smersh department of the 4th Ukrainian Front, General Major Nikolai Kovalchuk, as well as the conclusion of the front military counterintelligence on the materials of the investigation of those atrocities.

The report was issued in April of 1944.

#2  ...Curious as to whether or not the FSB report mentions how many Soviets who survived the Nazi camps were marched right into the GULAG when they got back. SPOILER: it was most of 'em.

#1  Thanks for posting. I forwarded it to a couple of fellows who were at one time, deeply involved in US Gov't POW issues and related things involving Russia. They are now busy with other pursuits and hobbies. Understandably, I doubt they will respond.
