The myth of the Dalwitz saboteurs (opens in new tab)

The history of the Dalwitz Battalion reveals the gap between myth and reality in narratives of Belarusian wartime collaboration. Far from constituting a coherent anti-Soviet resistance, the unit was part of a late and largely unsuccessful German attempt to deploy local collaborators in sabotage operations. Its rapid collapse exposes the limits of both Nazi strategy and later attempts at myth-making. Artykuł The myth of the Dalwitz saboteurs pochodzi z serwisu New Eastern Europe.
