Partisans of the Kuban

The brutal repressive measures of the German Wehrmacht during the Second World War led to uprisings and partisan actions all over the vast captured territories that were occupied during their triumphal years of 1940 and 1941. Few regions caused as much trouble for the occupying forces than the provinces of Russia, many of whom broke into almost open revolt. This book chronicles the operations of the Ignatov brother’s partisan unit which did a great deal of damage to the German war effort in the Kuban. The account is based on a diary that the unit kept during their struggle against the invaders.
