Ukraine Soldier WWII

Ukrainian lands became a major battleground of the Second World War. Millions of people from Ukraine served in the Soviet armed forces, while other Ukrainians joined nationalist insurgent organizations or formations raised under German control. Germany’s invasion in 1941 brought occupation, mass murder, deportation, forced labor, and extensive partisan warfare. Battles around Kyiv, Kharkiv, the Dnieper, and Crimea caused enormous military and civilian losses. Soviet forces reconquered Ukrainian territory during the campaigns of 1943–1944. Allegiance and experience varied sharply by region and individual circumstance, and Ukrainian participation encompassed both conventional military service and irregular fighting. The war profoundly altered Ukraine’s population, cities, and economy.
