The secrets of June 22: The Great Patriotic War doesn’t come to an end … It is the centenary war. Chapter IX

71 years ago the peacefully sleeping Country of Councils was woke up by not the trills of nightingales and gurgling of streams, beeps of plants and noise of trains, but by bursts of bombs and shells. They have attacked the Red Army by several powerful shock groups on all extent of the Soviet-German border of connection and the part of Wehrmacht. Much water has flowed under the bridges since then, but the analysis of historical events allows to assume that actually the Great Patriotic War didn't end. It proceeds.

It seems everything is obvious for long time ago: the Soviet tanks visited Berlin and the Red banner was lifted over Reichstag. The fascist Germany was threw down. However everything is so simple and there are numerous confirmations to that.

So, it is the end of the First World War. There is a February revolution in Russia. The Bolsheviks have no relation to overthrow of Nicholas II. The tsar is dethroned by large industrialists and the highest generals. In total for half a year the Provisional government manages to destroy everything that only possible and Lenin with colleagues literally lifts the power from the earth rolling there. There is no matter about any red terror in the beginning: it begins as the answer to the white …

But the interesting is not that, it is necessary to pay attention to the behavior of the western powers during these drama events: they preferred to help not too strongly to belligerent parties – white and red, but tried to grab everyone the own piece. The White generals in the memoirs repeatedly testify how the help actually stopped at once from outside “allies” after achievement of successes by them on fronts of civil war. Also it renewed only when the Reds started to attack. Practically Antanta and others tried not only to tighten the civil war in every way, but again and again to throw the firewood in its fire as soon as it started to die out.

That is, the White patriots should destroy the Reds as much as possible and on the contrary. The western politicians of that time speak about it in the memoirs.

Germany and then Poland rushed to Ukraine, the Englishmen and Frenchmen landed in Odessa, again the Englishmen in a good company with the Americans settled down in the north of Russia and the Japanese in the Far East. Following the results of civil war which should be called as the war for the right to remain the sovereign country, Russia lost many primordial territories which departed to Poland, Romania and other countries.

It is special subject about Poland, it tried to take away Kiev on the quiet of revolution and civil war, was driven away under Warsaw where managed to beat off an impact of the Reds again by means of future “western democracies”. About 100 thousand Red Army men got to captivity, only 27 thousand of whom returned home. The Poles shot 38 thousand people at once and the others were lost in the Polish concentration camps.

The Polish gangs terrorized the West of Ukraine and Belarus up to Hitler's attack to Poland in 1939 … So the population of the USSR had no desire and the reasons warmly to treat as to “luminaries of the western democracy”, so to Poland and Romania. The Romanians, by the way, during the period between civil war and 1939 year, behaved in the occupied Bessarabia not better, than the Poles in the Western Ukraine and in the Western Belarus during the same period. The violence, physical, moral and humanitarian simply prospered in relation to native population.

If the western countries really would care of human rights after all horrors which these lands got to know, so Poland and Romania should remain the countries derelicts still.

In the 20th years the American, English and French capital actively promoted the militarization of Germany, the Japanese extremely aggressively behaved in the East, Turkey and Iran had no objection to participate in new attack to Russia too.

According to become known arrangements of 1938, Romania undertook to attack the USSR with the help of 200-thousand army, Poland – 300-thousand and Hungary – 150-thousand. These countries, “which ran to attack from the USSR”, should request the help from Germany after the conflict unbinding. And here “all in white” Adolf Hitler would appear as the savior of Europe from “bloody Bolsheviks”. The scenario didn't pass only because of usual greed of the Poles, not wished to agree on territorial requirements of Germany and who has counted upon the help of England and France.

In such conditions the joint attack of many countries to the USSR wasn't represented to its management of the fantasy at all. Aggression of fascist Italy against Abyssinia (Ethiopia), the Franco mutiny in Spain only strengthened the opinion of the Soviet management in possibility and, possibly, inevitability of the incorporated attack of the whole union of the countries to the USSR.

The correctness of this conclusion is confirmed by the analysis of the contents of many prewar Soviet films – “If tomorrow the war”, “Tankmen” and others where the matter is just about just “the union of powers”. These factors also compelled the management of the USSR to have so many planes, tanks and tools to resist to all these hordes … Here 24000 tanks, 10000 planes and other arms in Red Army undertook before 1941.

So, on June 22, 1941, the Hitlerite Germany fell upon the USSR. For the long period which has passed from that period, there was the whole galaxy of falsifiers of history who, and, as a rule, not free of charge, try to erase the memory of pain and sufferings in every way which the people of the Soviet Union have to suffer and to distort the history.

Who only didn't try to earn either authority or money in this shameful field – the beaten Hitlerite generals who have become the historians, the western politicians, pseudo-scientists and journalists and … a number of sad persons who are the relatives of the heroic Soviet people only by surnames. Actually they have only one god – it is the golden calf. At the dark nights they, staring in screens of monitors with the inflamed eyes, sling mud at great history of the great country with sadistic ecstasy.

As a rule, all poor and inutile attempts to distort the past are reduced to several primitive postulates developed by the same primitive moral pettiness. “The demonstrative base” is reduced to several postulates:

1. Stalin tried to attack Hitler firstly, but that anticipated him.
2. Stalin wanted to grasp all Europe, but Hitler was the defender of the western civilization.
3. Stalin was panic at Hitler and that attacked him therefore.
4. Stalin and Hitler make a pair and GULAG is the same as Auschwitz.
5. Stalin crushed all Red Army by the repressions.
6. The Red Army ran to the Moscow, collapsing before eyes and then, thanks to obstructive detachments, started to attack, literally filling up fearless “Deutsche Soldaten” with corpses.

This list can be continued further, but there is no need. The matter is that the persons, defending similar approach to history, don't trouble themselves to the objective relations to archival data and simply adjust them to goals. They hear only themselves and it is useless to argue with them precisely as to try to clear up the relations with the Sun...
 

Let's return to June 22, 1941. One of the most widespread myths is the myth that one reason of defeats of the first months, if not the main, was the war repressions concerning command structure of the Red Army. Here is the ill luck: the orders of the People's commissar of defence literally dazzle with the facts of brazen violations of military discipline up to attack of Germany! Alcoholism, fights of commanders and the Red Army men, dress code violations, firing on drunken feast were the ordinary phenomenon in the Red Army.

Moreover, many commanders of battalions, regiments and divisions simply left their subordinates in the first months of war and then were found … in the apartments far in the back. There is a reasonable question: if the repressions were such awful why they didn't affect a condition of military discipline? And why the aforementioned commanders whom won’ call differently as the deserters, ran from the Hitlerites directly in paws of “awful” People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs”?

However, there is disagreement … However, the default of orders and command instructions, and control of their performance was the chronic phenomenon in the Red Army. So, no one frontier districts didn’t fulfill the requirements for masking of objects, the equipment of spare command points, dispersal of planes etc. in full for a little prewar months. The same condition happened with combat readiness, condition of equipment and staff training. All this is long time ago declassified documents. But they exist for honest historians. And the behavior of the commander of the Western special military district of General Pavlov became the apotheosis of general laxity: it the last peace night instead of decreasing on emergency command point as it was ordered to him, he sat at theater and pretended that headed the armies.

The falsifiers adore to juggle with figures, references to other so false sources in paranoid way in order to prove the fact of Stalin intention to attack Hitler firstly. Here it is necessary to consider that their either illiteracy militarily or deliberate desire to mislead are chronic.

There was no in military history that the wars (instead of battles) were won in defence. It is an axiom. Only it is possible to read at falsifiers that if the Red Army sat down at the strengthened areas, the Hitlerite Germany couldn't reach such successes.
 

Firstly, according to Operation Barbarossa, the main goal of Wehrmacht was to crush it in frontier battles and not to allow leaving of the main forces to the east. Secondly, Maginot Line in France, completely taken with the Frenchmen, couldn't resist to blitzkrieg in any way, though was occupied with armies in advance. Thirdly, as showed the experiment of operations, only deeply echelon defence in the presence of mobile tank connections as a reserve is capable to resist to German tank wedges. But the experience was necessary for this purpose which the Red Army couldn't have in 1941.

Other matter is that the strikes of the powerful mechanized connections with the purpose of defeat of enemy groups near Lublin, Krakow, East Prussia and also capture of the Romanian oil fields was provided after attack of Germany and frontier battle in prewar fighting documents.

It became absolutely clear why it wasn't executed: the Germans were able to be at war better. Their General Staff was better, their commanders were better prepared, their soldiers burned with the desire to realize the ideas of a racial superiority on practice and to destroy all Slavs as defective.

The Red Army had more equipment, but its technical condition was incomparably worse than Wehrmacht’s. Huge mass of armies should be able to be coped with, but our commanders weren't able to do that. They should study. And all were guilty in this – from the Supreme Commander to the last Red Army man.

Unfortunately, the great tragedy of the 1941st just was to expiate this fault and everyone had its own. The defeats of an initial stage of war worked as the terrible filter, as the objective factor which has allowed, eventually, to create the new Red Army at the price of huge victims…

And here we come up to the most important: for example, the feat of 300 Spartans became the standard for the western history and culture long ago. Now let’s imagine that suddenly there is the whole crowd of “historians” who start to glorify not them, but … certain Ephialtes who carried out the Persian army around and provided the defeat of the Greeks. These “historians” motivate the conclusions that Ephialtes fought against the dictatorship of Leonid tsar and wanted to prevent the bloodshed …It is more further. The Roman Gaio Muzio Scevola, trying to kill the Etruscan king Lars Porsena at the siege of Rome, caught at failure, and then put a hand in a fire, appears mentally unhealthy type.

The tragic events of 1941 generated such heroes before whom their antique predecessors genuflected, if could. And the feat of heroes of Brest was not an isolated fact. Heroism of the Soviet military personnel was the mass phenomenon from the very beginning of war.
 

Let's ask a question: whether one fact on the Western front is known at least, when the Hitlerites would drive old men, women and children ahead of the coming chains to clear of mines a minefield and to prevent the losses from enemy fire? Answer: no, it is not known. Meanwhile, such method was used for the first time just at walls of Brest in the first days of war. The last time was during the fight for Stalingrad in the autumn of 1941. In total such cases were thousands. The crimes of the Hitlerites concerning the peace population became known in the USSR almost right after the war beginning.

Thousands, tens of thousands of heroes battled, as 300 Spartans, in the entrenchments, pillboxes and padded tanks, were lost in air battles, trying to stop the enemy. Their families remained in occupied territories and, knowing that the enemy won't spare them more likely, the soldiers and officers, often without reflecting, climbed in the scorching heat. And were lost … And this is, without any doubt, the main reason of defeats and huge losses of 1941. It is necessary to have the cold head in order to win. And we didn't have it too.

By the way, the former opponent best of all testifies about correctness of such explanation of big losses in the Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army and also how it courageously fought, beginning from soldiers, officers and field marshals of Wehrmacht who was much more honest than the present false hack writers.

It was written down in the diary of the officer of the German 14th tank division on June 24(!), 1941:

- It is difficult to be at war for us … One platoon of tanks is completely destroyed … Nobody from us still participated in such fights, as here, in Russia. The field of battle has a terrible appearance. We didn't worry that yet…
 

And here is the quote from the order on the 1st tank group of June 26, 1941 signed by future general field marshal von Kleist: “the hearings about the broken Soviet tanks caused a panic”. Further he demands to forbid such “panic shouts as “Tanks broke!”. And each officer is obliged “to act at each sign of a panic with the most strict means, if necessary to use the weapon …”

Thus, the functions of obstructive detachments in Wehrmacht already were carried out by the officers at the very beginning of war … Is it necessary to remember now the known Stalin order No. 227 which appeared only in the autumn of 1942? Is it necessary to draw a conclusion that till this time the Germans had advantage in the organization and military discipline which kept on execution threat in certain cases. And they had the penal companies … even before the attack to the USSR. Also they were used just as in the Red Army.

More lines from the German sources:

June 23:

“The 262nd infantry division was the subject to “fear of the opponent” and retreated”.

June 25:

“According to inquiry of command of the 17th army (the German – author), the inquiry will be given in OKH (operations section) at 18.50 in allocation from a reserve of the 4th mine-infantry division for exchange of the 68th division, which had serious losses during fights, especially on June 25 as a result of continuous tank attacks of the opponent, if not completely put out of action”.

And here is the description of only one feat of the 1941year. Zakhar Slyusarenko, twice the Hero of the Soviet Union, the lieutenant general of tank armies, the commander of a tank battalion in 1941 tells. (“Filial duty”, 1981)

- There was a trouble with one KV after the fight: its gearbox transmission was out of order. The commander of KV lieutenant Kahhar Hushvakov and his four fighting companions, without paying attention to a shelling, started the repair. Almost all our tankmen helped them, but the car remained motionless.

I order to blow it up and to leave. Five young tankmen, the representatives of four people of our Homeland (the commander — the Uzbek, the mechanic-driver, the radio operator machine gunner — the Russians, the commander of tower — the Ukrainian, the loader — the Azerbaijani) stand with the lowered head and are silent. I repeat the order.

— Comrade battalion commander, allow to remain, the commander of KV lieutenant Kahhar Hushvakov puts a hand to a garrison cap.
— To remain? I do not understand. Comrade lieutenant explain, I ask though start to guess what the crew conceived.
— Let's turn KV into a pillbox, Hushvakov explains.
— Let's not pass any fascist tank, comrade captain, assures the mechanic-driver military techniques of the second rank Alexey Ozerov.
This closed, silent guy by nature was one of the best mechanics-drivers in our division. His car always was in an excellent condition, never was exposed to serious repair.
— Tow off us only there, to that edge, asks the radio operator machine gunner, junior sergeant Tyurin.
— We solved still yesterday, adds the commander of turret, the senior sergeant Oles Grigorenko.
— Allow me, comrade captain. One crew, one KV..., looks at me the loader, private soldier Akhmedov.
The crew of lieutenant Kahhar Hushvakov waits. The chief of staff Andrey Kozhemyachko, his deputy Vasily Yablokov, other tankmen wait for my decision...
— Comrade lieutenant, I address to Hushvakov, the junior sergeant Tyurin asks to tow off the car to that edge? Do you agree?
— I agree, comrade captain. There is convenient place. It is possible to conduct attack on kilometer ahead, in the left — three kilometers ahead.
— And what will the chief of staff tell?
— The place, chosen by crew, is good, he answers. It is the lowland with the river near the road.
The 34th comes to the brother athlete, takes it in tow, pulls off on two hundred meters. I order to give a part of the shells and food which have remained to the crew of lieutenant Kahhar Hushvakov.
The sun hid for the wood. The first stars were lit. We leave, say goodbye to companions. We say goodbye as a real man, in a soldier's way, without sympathy sighs. The KV, which was hidden among branches, drops out of sight soon. We move forward and our hearts there, with guys...

Two days heroes - tankmen, having turned KV into a weapon emplacement, blocked the way to the Germans. They set fire to two fascist tanks, three tanks with fuel, exterminated many Hitlerites. The enemies tried to take our tankmen alive, but they didn’t yield, fought to the last cartridge, to the last gasp. The Hitlerites outraged upon the lost heroes — they poured over their bodies with gasoline and burned. I got to know about it much later.
In 1944 my tank brigade came on the same way on which we withdrew at the beginning of war. The left KV in July, 1941 stood on the same place — without turret, all black of soot and dust. The grassed deep funnels from shells, the uprooted charred trees were piled up round it. Local peasants told us what occurred here...

Eternal glory to heroes...

The history of each country has the spots – white and black. But who decided for us that the history of Russia has more black spots than the white? Who and for whose money the treachery is raised in a rank of national heroism and the heroes reduces to position of the slaves who are going into battle under the threat of execution? Who and on whose money such films as “Battalion of military offenders”, “Swines”, “The last armored train” and “Serve the Soviet Union” are shot? Who and for whose money they try to split us and to deprive of the Great Victory? Who decided that we need the denial of the great past, instead of association of all our great history?

It is necessary to draw only one conclusion: The Great Patriotic War didn't end. Moreover, it was one of the stages of a centuries-old series of the wars directed on conquest of huge Eurasian space. It is new Centenary war. Now it goes in information space and, seemingly, that this phase silently develops into the hot: Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya, Abkhazia and South Ossetia, Syria bear a strong resemblance to the events preceding the Second World War. Will our people resist …

And what about June, 22? It is the Day of memory and grief. But it should be also the Day of Memory of the Great Patriotic War Heroes.
