YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThis video is about Russian collaboration in World War II and focuses on the SS RONA, also known as the Kaminsky Brigade led by Bronislav Kaminsky. This unit's full name later became the Waffen-Sturm-Brigade der SS RONA and later it became known as the 29th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS RONA (1st Russian). They ruled over the so-called Lokot Autonomy (or Lokot Autonomous Region) which was under control by Konstantin Voskoboynik and after his death Kaminsky rose to power. They unleashed a reign of terror in the Lokot and later helped the Germans with crushing the 1944 Warsaw Uprising. Eventually the unit was merged into the Russian Liberation Army (ROA) under collaborating general Andrey Vlasov. During the Warsaw Uprising the Germans became angry with the conduct of Kaminski's unit. Therefore they took him out. But why were they outraged about this?
