Those gues from UPA were the beasts. I saw the pictures of brutally murdered entire villages of polish settlers by UPA. 200++ thousand were slayghtered in 1943-44. Entire regions of Volun and Galicia were purged out from poles. Not to mention 20+ thousands of own Ukrainians and russians murdered after for "colloboration with Moskaleys" ww2 till the most 1956.
It's wrong to say the "USA did nothing". Actualy CIA has developed a plan how to best use UPA in attack against USSR's back since Korean war began.there were send the agents from USA to Ukraine with a mission of contack to UPA's undegroung. But due to agent Kim Philby KGB had uncovered the mission and eliminated all of the agents.

"while the Americans did nothing."

-readyjlee, i don't mean this to be an inflammatory question, but why do you feel the United States was obligated to do anything to assist? A bit critical wouldn't you say, as the US wasn't the sole western country involved in the cold war, and surely when other's merely mention the US's commitment in WWII, they are often met with critism and accusation of bias...also, what would you have the United States do exactly to assist? Begin WWIII by military action in eastern Europe, or the even the Ukraine? Seems a bit unrealistic...I am truly sympathetic to the plight of those behind the Iron Curtain - but the US policies appeared to have done quite a bit, where it could - while simultaneously avoiding a third world war - the US did take the lead (not alone, but a lead) in addressing communist expansion in Cuba, Korea, Santo Domingo, Viet Nam, etc... - even as late as the 1980's by aiding the Mujahdeen and eventually the fall of the Berlin Wall - all done at great cost in lives, global critism, and it's own economic standing...

The last hold outs of the UPA decided to fight their way to West Germany in November 1956 when they saw the Hungarians crushed by the Soviets, while the Americans did nothing. In the winter of 1956-57 they fought through Slovakia and Czechia and Sudetenland and broke through the iron curtain into Austria and West Germany. At this time the Soviets murdered one of their leaders, Stepan Bandera. Some of these veterans joined the foreign labor battalions of the US Army.

Thought they fought more in the center or east of the Ukraine. Thank you juraj :)

@Evillittlekenny Slovakia and Ukraina are neighbours with a border that runs through thick forest. Also part of today Ukraine used to be Slovak territory till the war.

Thank you for the answer, I will do it :)

The site owner introduced the Ukrainian Forces album some time ago. Please use the contact form and ask him about his motivation.

Have to finish my sentence: I don't really see why there is a category for 2 pictures, and for nations with more of them not.

But I still have a question... It says Slovakia. How this? And another question. Why is there an Ukraininan section with only 2 pictures and other nations like Belgium, Netherlands, Croatia etc. are under Other Forces, even if they have more pictures. I...

But I still have a question... It says Slovakia. How this? And another question. Why is there an Ukraininan section with only 2 pictures and other nations like Belgium, Netherlands, Croatia etc. are under Other Forces, even if they have more pictures. I don't want to start an argument with anyone, and it's also interesting to me to see Ukrainians and so on, but I don't see why?

They still fought against Soviet occupation until 1953. They are real patriots because they knew that will die for Ukraine but would like better die standing than live kneeling.
