[edit]DescriptionPOW after D-Day (36248188566).png |
U.S. Army soldiers of the 1st Engineer Special Brigade guard captured Georgian soldiers from the OstBattallion 795 "Georgian" during the Allied Normandy landings, Utah Beach, near Pouppeville, Lower Normandy, France, July 1944. The Ostlegionen (Eastern Legions), the OstBattaillone (Eastern Battalions) and the Osttruppen (Eastern Troops) were military units that were made up of Soviet personnel. Some members of these units were conscripted or coerced into serving, whilst others volunteered. Osttruppen were frequently stationed away from front lines and used for coastal defence or rear-area activities, such as anti-partisan operations, thus freeing up regular Axis forces for front line service. Elements of the unit held the high terrain south of Ste Maire-Eglise, supposedly defending itself with some vigour until a Russian-speaking American soldier convinced most of the unit to surrender #historiansunion #colored #colorized #colourised #colorization #colourisation #color #colour #history #ww1 #wwi #worldwarone #greatwar #thegreatwar #ww2 #wwii #worldwartwo #military #war #allies #axis #germany #georgianlegion #division #ss #utahbeach |
