The Third Reich and Ukraine

Más información sobre el libro

Ukraine's role in World War II generally receives only perfunctory treatment in history books. Drawing on 194 documents from English, French, German, Russian, and Ukrainian archives, Wolodymyr Kosyk offers a more complete account of the events that took place in Ukraine in the first half of this century. He begins his study with a historical background of Ukraine and proceeds to examine Hitler's designs for Eastern Europe. Kosyk stresses that Germany and its allies needed Ukraine's economic resources to ensure final victory and analyzes the struggle of the Ukrainian nationalist forces against Nazi domination.
