Life In Russia Under Nazis During WW2
NAZIS in Russia in World War II. The Germans took pictures. The pictures were banned in Soviet Russia.
Later, after the collapse of USSR some amount of evidence started arriving from abroad to Russia, showing that it was not so bad under the short German rule for the Russian people, some really enjoyed some freedoms they didn’t have under the Soviet rule.
While others got murdered in their millions…

I agree. No picture can be untainted. It may say more about me, but the pictures of Nazis posing with boys and women make me feel physically sick…
An Anorak writer - Ed barrett - used to work at the Imperial War Museum. There is a cinema there. And anyone can request and watch old footbage of war films, including from the Second World War.
The films on the Russian retribution against the beaten Germans are harrowing. But do we care? Would any russian at the time have cared for the Germans’ fate?

Shame on those, who dare to think that soviet people were happy under Nazi occupation. I know different story- a true one. Well, I am from Ukraine (part of the former USSR) myself and my grandfather was war journalist. He also took pictures. I still have many of them, true, original pictures of those terrible times. Scary, malnourished childrens, grief and devastaion…and small mountain of children shoes- they were taken off before slaughtering thousands of jewish kids in infamous Babiy Yar in Kiev. As well as their families…That’s what you call a happy time?
Besides, two upper pictures you show are staged. That kind of children cloth people was wearing 200 years ago and considered to be a folklore dressing. Germans had their own agenda as well. They wanted to justify their occupation and show “now happy russians”. Would you think they will receive huge support if they show pictures of the atrocities they in fact performed??
