Soviet archives

RG-22.002M/7021-92/210. "The Germans conducted a merciless campaign against the civil population, fearing that the resistance movement might grow. No one was allowed to depart the village; offenders were severely beaten, then shot. More than once, the Germans organized punitive expeditions in the villages, to pillage and beat everyone, regardless of sex or age."
