the reason for hatred - partisans
???iuimd_video_v_text_einfach_en???:
A folk dancer from Marburg with a folk dance group said that the trains that traveled from Graz to Marburg were checked. When they arrived in Marburg, the Titopartisans said, “Everyone get out” and addressed them in German. And anyone who answered in German was immediately shot and laid up on the railway embankment. Eds were mass executions. They just didn't pay any attention, nothing. That was the blind hatred of all Germans. I talked to Stefan Karner, this historian from Carinthia, who collected a lot of historical facts from Styria and also published books about Styria in the Third Reich. I talked to him for a long time about my childhood in Slovenia and my experiences with them Partisans, and yes, that was the case. That was terrible, just terrible. The Germans down there behaved like wild pigs, golden pheasants, these party bigwigs. The people of Lower Styria welcomed the soldiers with flowers and the next day the party officials began shooting them. And who did they shoot? All wealthy people. Someone who had a car was shot so that the officer could take his car, a manufacturer was shot so that some bankrupt Graz businessman could take over the Aryanized business with a full warehouse. And the fact that the population then became hated is no wonder, no wonder. Exactly the same in Ukraine.Some of the German soldiers were received by the Ukrainians. Stalin let over a million Ukrainians starve to death. They welcomed the Germans as saviors from the communist system and what are they doing? They drive through the villages in trucks, load up everything that's walking around there, from 10-11 year old children, all of them to the labor camp in Germany because they needed workers. And then the partisans came, no wonder. My father told the people downstairs. We were so afraid that one day he would come for us. But his inspector also protected him. He said this is our best man. Most of the language courses also have evening courses for adults. As much as he's doing down there, we can't let him fall. We have to leave him alone. But he really gave them his opinion. And that was life-threatening. Back then, it wasn't that easy
