Stalins' defectors how Red Army soldiers became Hitler's collaborators, 1941-1945 Edele, Mark creator author. text bibliography Electronic books. History enk 2017 monographic eng remote 1 online resource This study's subject is the phenomenon of frontline surrender to the Germans in the Soviet Union's 'Great Patriotic War' against the Nazis in 1941-1945. Based on a broad range of sources, this volume investigates the extent, the context, the scenarios, the reasons, the aftermath, and the historiography of frontline defection. While the phenomenon of frontline defection tells us much about the lack of popularity of Stalin's regime, it does not prove that the majority of the population was ready for resistance, let alone collaboration. More recent research on the moods of both the occupied and the unoccupied Soviet population shows that the majority understood its own interest in opposition to both Hitler's and Stalin's regime. The findings of Mark Edele in this study support such an interpretation. Mark Edele. Includes bibliographical references and index. e-ur--- e-gx--- Soviet Union.
