| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Not a good look. [Regnum] Pavlogradskaya Street in Ukrainian Nikopol was renamed in honor of the Nazi and Holocaust accomplice, soldier of the 31st battalion of the Schutzmannschaft SD (auxiliary police) Peter Dyachenko. This was announced on March 4 by the head of the United Jewish Committee of Ukraine Eduard Dolinsky on social networks. Dyachenko led units of collaborators within the Wehrmacht and, in particular, the SS Galicia division and participated in punitive operations. For this, Dyachenko received the Iron Cross (an order established in 1813 in Prussia and also awarded in Nazi Germany as a reward for services to the country. The insignia was worn on a black, white and red ribbon - in the colors of the flag of the Third Reich).
In March 2023, six Soviet-era monuments were demolished in the Lviv region, including those dedicated to the memory of those who fell in the Great Patriotic War. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, speaking about the de-Russification of Ukraine, said that the idea of expelling Russians has been occupying the minds of Ukrainian politicians for a long time. The Foreign Minister noted that de-Russification, according to Kyiv’s logic, means that ethnic Russians should have neither their own identity, nor language, nor history in this country. | |

| #4 Iron Cross First Class? I thought first class was for officers, Gromble Dribble4342, but really I have no idea. NCOs aren’t officers, right? Anyway, after the war he went back to his hometown and became a lawyer and joined the boards of the local synagogue, the Jewish day school, and the town council. |

#3 was awarded an Iron CrossIron Cross First Class? Dresden diarist & Holocaust survivor Victor Klemperer lived under the Nazi regime in Germany for the entire duration of the Third Reich. He won his Iron Cross Second Class during WWI. That award and his totally faithful Aryan wife somehow seemed to help his survival up to the day before Dresden was destroyed. That day he was made aware that almost every other Jewish resident in his complex was to be evacuated to a death camp very soon. He knew he would be the last to go. That very night Dresden and its local Gestapo HQ was reduced to ashes, he had only minor injuries. His wife torn the Judenstern off his clothing, they hid their actual ID papers and bugged out of Dresden right away using fake IDs. Months later they migrated back to what was left of Dresden and resumed a more normal life in postwar Germany. Victor had a first cousin once removed, Werner Klemperer, whom many Rantburgers would know played "Col. Klink" in Hogan's Heroes. |
