One Thousand One Hundred and Ninety-Three Orders Are Like This

These days, in the few remaining pockets of Moscow, the main work of the German army has become accepting the countless surrendered civilians in Moscow. Even after estimating the number of civilians in Moscow, the POW camps prepared by Germany and other refugee camps almost failed to accommodate so many non-combatants.

The reception work is not a simple resettlement work. The German army needs to identify every Russian who surrendered and treat them separately. First of all, there are children and women who are useful. These people have to be sent to concentration camps in Ukraine and undergo labor reform for 3 to 5 years before they can be released.

Middle-aged men and elderly men also have to serve hard labor or be sentenced, because they are likely to have participated in the fighting against the German army. Another main reason for detaining these people is because Germany does not have free food and supplies to subsidize these so-called civilians who surrendered without knowing their background.

When these people were in the city of Moscow, most of them were soldiers holding weapons to stop the German army. It is obviously a bit too naive to want to become ordinary civilians and enjoy asylum treatment now. Even the German army found more than 20,000 young men among the civilians who surrendered. According to past experience, these people were definitely Soviets who had served as soldiers.

"I'm a Ukrainian! I was captured by them and came here with the troops!" A young Soviet soldier raised his hands and pleaded to the German soldier who screened him. He didn't know if the other party could understand him, so he I can only shout these words over and over again, hoping to get the attention of other Germans in the crowd.

Just behind this young Soviet soldier who claimed to be Ukrainian, two women were expressing their favor to the German soldier in front of them in fast Russian. While talking, the two of them spread out the gold ring and necklace in the bag Pushed to the German soldier in charge of the record: "Please, we can do anything, clean the house and cook, anything! We are Belarusians...not Russians."

A little farther away, there is another entrance for civilian reception, sitting in front of a German soldier who is filling out the form on the table, a man in his fifties is yelling loudly to the indifferent German soldiers : "Volga German! I am Volga German!"

Then the man who claimed to be of German descent could not speak any other German. He could only continue to find a better way out for himself in Russian: "I am an architect, I have been educated and can read..."

Because there are many, many civilian surrenders to be received, miraculously no large-scale fighting broke out in the streets and alleys of Moscow in the past two days. The Germans were in no hurry to move forward, and the Soviets did not initiate any provocative actions. In fact, the Soviet Union took advantage of it, because if so many civilians hadn't stopped the German attack, it would not have been easy for them to hold their position so easily.

Standing on the highest point of a ruin, a German major officer held a cigarette between his fingers and put it on his mouth, taking a puff.

Then he exhaled a puff of white smoke and complained to the adjutant beside him: "If it weren't for this group of old, weak, sick and disabled, our troops might have been inspected by the head of state on Red Square..."

"The battle here is not so easy. There are Soviet snipers everywhere. After we arrived at the southernmost subway entrance, the battle still broke out in the subway..." His adjutant was also puffing, looking at his feet Countless Soviet civilian men and women passed by: "The headquarters is expected to fight here for 20 days, or 30 days... who knows?"

"Do you think it's interesting?" The major officer looked at a Soviet steel helmet with bloodstains and bullet holes under his feet, and then looked at the ruined buildings occupied by the Soviet Union in the distance and the half-collapsed buildings. , and continued: "We have already reached Moscow, but we can't catch a Russian Russian in the capital of the Soviet Union."

It has not been a day or two for Germany to occupy a large area of ​​the Soviet Union. The Soviets have heard about these German occupiers from various channels. There are rumors that the German army treats Ukrainians and Belarusians more, so many Russians in the Soviet Union pretend to be the other two ethnic groups in an attempt to escape the fate of hard labor in the German-occupied areas.

It is a pity that this is obviously an incomplete statement based on hearsay. In fact, according to the official records of the German army, the two highest wartime command organizations, the German Supreme Command and the General Staff, have never issued an exemption from Ukrainian or Belarusian prisoners of war. Hard labor orders. Two relatively similar orders are that the family of someone who served in the Ukrainian Army of the Third Reich can receive an amnesty for hard labor; prisoners of war who have received a promise of exemption from hard labor in a special battle can receive an amnesty for hard labor.

However, Ukrainian and Belarusian prisoners of war are happier than Russian and Polish prisoners of war, and the intensity of hard labor in concentration camps is indeed lower. Because the differential treatment policy implemented by Germany in the occupied areas is to divide and disintegrate the resistance sentiment in the occupied areas. The German army has re-divided several large occupied areas of its own, stipulated 40 concentration camp divisions, and divided more than 1,700 large and small prisoner-of-war camps in its hands into 3 different levels for differential management.

But this time, the biggest beneficiary of the division turned out to be a man who was originally a playboy in the business world, an upstart named Frank Elstoner. This man who started out by producing helicopters for the German Wehrmacht has now become an important figure in the German aviation industry system.

"This is the instinctive fear of human beings. When anyone faces such a powerful force, they will have instinctive fear and the idea of ​​escaping." The adjutant smiled and pointed to those who bowed their heads under their feet and were divided into several categories to go to different management areas. The Soviet civilians said with a smile: "It is very difficult to make so many people fear, and this is one of the reasons why I admire the head of state."

"It's hard to make a nation fear, but it's not impossible. What the real strong pursue is to make a nation respect and follow it to the future." The major threw the cigarette butt on the ruins, He crushed the sparks on it with his leather boots, and said proudly: "The Führer not only conquered one nation after another, what I admire the most is that he made our great Germany follow him willingly."

Just at the entrance of the passage not far from their feet, two German soldiers held weapons and walked up to several boys who lowered their heads and tried to sneak into the entrance of the passage. , explaining their thoughts: "You guys, look up! We want to check!"

Those Soviet youths were obviously taken aback for a moment, and then panicked. They shouted in Russian, claiming that they were just civilians and had not done anything hostile to the German army. The surrounding civilians also became agitated, and many people begged for mercy, helping these young people to say some guarantees and good words.

"Wow!" Seeing the uncontrolled crowd in front of them, the German soldiers showed no pity. On a machine gun position not far from the entrance of the passage, the German shooter directly pulled the bolt of the MG-42 machine gun. The black muzzle was aimed at the unarmed crowd.

"Stand back! Otherwise, I will order the machine gun to fire!" Another German officer standing at the entrance of the passage shouted loudly in Russian. As a soldier of the Empire, his words were full of arrogance and momentum. . Moreover, his education and life experience made him pull out the pistol at his waist and point it at the sky while shouting.

After only two seconds, seeing that the crowd had no intention of responding, he pulled the trigger of his pistol. After the gunshot of "Boom!", more German soldiers raised their guns to the crowd. As long as the German military officer gave an order, they would shoot without hesitation, making the chaotic crowd in front of them Learn how to obey the prescribed order.

Hearing gunshots is always more likely to attract people's attention than hearing shouts. The gunshots echoing in the sky made the Soviet civilians who came to prepare for the German dinner finally remember their current situation. The status quo of human beings for knives and me for fish and meat can't help them to be presumptuous, so most people start to back away, looking at those ferocious soldiers with horrified eyes.

After a while, the few Soviet youths who had gathered together to pass through the passage were dragged out of the crowd of civilians by the collars of their clothes by German soldiers. They staggered and were thrown in the open space, and then German soldiers went up to punch and kick them. Their age determined that they must not be Soviet civilians, but Soviet soldiers who had fought against the German army with weapons.

"Boom! Boom!" In the quiet civilian crowd, a pair of eyes watched these children being beaten severely, and then dragged by German soldiers to the prisoner of war passage on the other side. And the German soldiers standing around still pointed their loaded guns to this side. No one continued to make noise, no one continued to commotion, the rest of the people just walked more cautiously, walked through the narrow passage, let the German army search them, or pointed at them.

"See? They have to learn too much. If they want to become real imperial civilians, they must first learn to act in accordance with order." The German major standing on a high place snorted coldly: "After today , most of the channels for receiving prisoners of war will be closed, and the fighting will continue, that is the order."
