The FSB declassified documents about the crimes of the US military in Berlin in 1945
The FSB has published declassified archival documents about the crimes of American and French soldiers in Berlin in 1945. This is reported by TASS.
“As has been established, cases of hooliganism, robbery and violence against Germans by American military personnel do not stop, and these facts are increasing daily,” says a memo from the head of the Berlin operational sector, Major General Alexei Sidnev, dated November 9, 1945, addressed to the Deputy People’s Commissar of Internal Affairs Ivan Serov.
The certificate dated November 19, 1945 notes that “in recent years, cases of outrage and robbery of the population of Berlin by military personnel of the allied occupation forces have become more frequent.”
To manage the Soviet zone of occupation of Germany, the Soviet Military Administration in Germany (SVAG) was created. The entire territory of the SVAG was divided into several operational sectors of the state security and internal affairs bodies of the USSR. The functions of the Berlin Operational Sector included monitoring the situation and behavior of the Allied forces in the American, British and French zones of occupation of Berlin.
