"Stalin’s order for Partisan warfare gives us justification to kill whoever they want".<br /><br />It's stupid to say that it's justified to kill civilians because they're "helping the partisans". Reprisal killings are illegal, especially with ratios like 100 to 1. Plus, the Germans invaded their country and oppressed them. Of course there's going to be partisan resistance. I guess you'd think it's better if they kept their heads down and took it.Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02660486969581542489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24597325.post-607736769245903912016-01-07T16:06:24.121+00:002016-01-07T16:06:24.121+00:00Yes, but I guess that many of the non-combat civil...Yes, but I guess that many of the non-combat civilians, where helping the partisans with food, cloths, materials, hideaways and so on. So I guess it make sense from a brutal, but logical view to murder civilian populations, or many of them, to in that why also combat the partisans, because then civilians would probably not help the partisans if they would be punished in that way?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24597325.post-91888418767461297282016-01-06T18:50:03.504+00:002016-01-06T18:50:03.504+00:00I agree, especially since most of the partisans se...I agree, especially since most of the partisans seemed to escape while most of the victims were innocent bystanders. I read during one of these partisan actions the Germans only confiscated 20 weapons but killed thousands.J Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893548775462142380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24597325.post-45774671000792200422016-01-05T23:48:59.160+00:002016-01-05T23:48:59.160+00:00"anti-partisan warfare" seemed to be a p..."anti-partisan warfare" seemed to be a pretext in many areas (especially on Koch's turf) for the gradual reduction of the "subhuman" population.
