The Little-Known WWII Anti-Soviet National Socialist Russian Liberation Army (VIDEO)

A look at the Russian Liberation Army, a little-known WW2 military force made up of Russian soldiers who volunteered to fight the Soviet regime.

This ten-minute Russian-language video, with English subtitles, includes wartime footage of a swearing-in ceremony of RLA soldiers. The RLA was commanded by former Soviet General Andrei Vlasov, who also headed the German-backed anti-Stalinist “Committee for the Liberation of the Peoples of Russia,” a provisional “government-in-exile.”

800,000 Russians were fighting on the German side during WW2. English.
