Not part of the plan...... Late 1941 Nazis surrendering to Soviet fighters. Spotted this picture in a book review. A "What if ?".... Subject being, could Hitler have won the war? Wont be reading the book. Not in this life. Besides the author has given lucid accounts of how the Nazis lost the war. In many fine books. Enough for me, to be getting on with.

No sign of any willingness to share out Imperial plunder then?

The Soviet Partisans were at first poorly equipped and had no central direction. As Stavka recovered from the initial Barbarossa blow, it recognized the potenial of the resistabce forces already forming and began to establish control and direct the Partisans groups as well as supply them. Here is a photograph of a young Soviet partisan, Vasya Borovik. Unfortunately we have no details on his individual exploits. Notice how well uniformed and even equipped with pistol. Vasya served in the Chernigov-Volyn partisan army, commanded by Major General A.F.Fedorov. In the same partisan squad was another boy, Vasya Korobko. Vasya ws the most famous of all the boy partisans. He blew up nine German supply trains and killed more than 100 Germans during summer 1944 when the Red Army struck its major blow at Army Group Center.

George Junius Stinney Jr.. Was the youngest person ever executed in the USA. In the 1940s at the age of 14 he was placed on trial for the double homicide of two white girls. With no evidence or probable cause he was still convicted of the crime. Due to racial segregation African Americans were not allowed to be present in the court room his family was given the option to leave town or be lynched giving the young George No support. After his 2 hour trial which consisted of three testimonies from 3 Caucasian officers who claimed to have evidence and a confession he was sentenced to death by electrocution. The 5'2 90lb teen used his very own bible as a booster seat to prop him up on the chair built for grown prisoners. After the first wave of shocks the face mask fell off of George's head showing a face full of tears and wide eyes and saliva coming from his mouth; after two more jolts of the 2,400 power shocks he was pronounced dead.

Army presence halted Lumad school classes REENACTING THE HORROR. Children of Mangayon village, town of Compostela, Compostela Valley
dramatize how they were harassed and forced by government soldiers to act as guides in their counter-insurgency operations .
This was part of the Save Our Schools: Children’s Camp launched by child advocates in Panansalan, Compostela last October 29
to call for the protection of children’s rights in the observance of Children’s Month.
