		The first pro-Axis Russian unit was known as RONA, a Russian acronym for Russian People's Liberation Army, established by Bronislav Kaminski, who was born in Russia to a Polish father and a German mother.
		In 1942, however, Voskoinik was killed by anti-Nazi Russian partisans and Kaminski became the leader of the army.
		Many Russians were on guard on D-Day and quickly surrendered to the U.S. and Britain because of the lack of support they've received from Berlin.

	Warsaw Uprising: RONA, Bronislaw Kaminski
		Polish participants of the Warsaw Uprising of 1944 in their testimonies and memoirs often incorrectly refer to 'Ukrainians' or the 'Vlasov Army' as the German collaborating forces who were guilty of pillage, rapes, and murders committed against the Warsaw civilians.

	Russian Nationalist National Army (1942-1943).
		The "Battalion" was organized along Russian lines, it was equipped entirely with captured Soviet arms, and its personnel wore Red Army uniforms to which shoulder straps had been attached alongside with the white-blue-red cockades (in the Czarish style).
		The unit's Russian members wrongly assumed that they formed a nucleus of a future great Russian "liberation" army; therefore, they decided (without prior German approval) to name their embryonic formation as the Russkaya Natsionalnaya Narodnaya Armiya (Russian Nationalist National Army) or RNNA in abbreviation.
		This encircled pocket consisted of elements of the Soviet 33-rd Army, as well as of the 1-st Guards Cavalry Corps, and the 4-th Airborne Assault Corps, and it posed a serious threat to the rear area of the German 4-th Panzer Army; thus, jeopardizing its drive on Moscow.

		Their hatred of Vlasov is readily understandable: He dared to continue the Russian people’s struggle, which was launched in 1918 by the "Whites," and which had not ceased throughout the communist domination, even up to and including the present times.
		On the day of the 5th anniversary of the Red Army, Vlasov was awarded a silver watch, with his name engraved upon it, and in 1924 he was put in charge of the regimental school of the 26th rifle regiment, where he was to spend the next four years.
		The RLA leadership felt that even a small force would be sufficient to attract to its side Russian people in Soviet uniforms, who were forced by both Stalin and Hitler to defend the hateful communist rule.

		The majority of them, composed of volunteers of Russian nationality, were later incorporated into the Russian Army of Liberation- ROA- which was not an army in the organizational meaning of the word, but a name given to all Russian voluntary formations which recognized General Vlasov as their leader.
		The creation of the Committee for the Liberation of the People's of Russia, and the consent to the organization of its Army, met strong opposition in many influential German circles, chiefly because the Committee and Army were led by a Russian, general Vlasov, and were to embrace nationals of all the peoples of Russia.
		The German armies were delaying the transfer of their eastern troops to General Vlasov's command; Many of these formations were by then destroyed or had suffered heavy losses on the western front.(36) The leaders of the German economy were protesting against the recruiting of [eastern] workers to the Liberation Army.

	Gil-Radionov Unit of the SD.
		The brigade's participation in anti-partisan operations was to serve as a valuable training exercise and as a test of the Russians' loyalty to the Germans.
		This trip proved to be counter-productive as the Russians learned from their fellow countrymen held at the Oranienburg Concentration Camp (north of Berlin), as well as from Russian slave workers, of the brutal treatment they endured at the hands of the Germans.
		Gil-Radionov and other members of the patriotic cell proceeded to persuade their Russian comrades to join the partisans, but unfortunetly many of the brigade's officers, aided by the German SD liaison team that was permanently assigned to the brigade, attempted to kill the patriots.

		The Liberation Movement was encouraged by German officers who disagreed with Nazi policy towards the USSR, as their experience showed that treating the population as ‘subhumans’ (Untermensch) merely increased resistance to Nazi occupation.
		Throughout the development of the Liberation Movement there existed a divergence of aims between the Russian members who wished to form an army and a political movement which would effect change within the USSR, and its German supporters who merely wished to alter the type of propaganda directed towards the population of the USSR.
		The main focus of the book is the ideology of the Liberation Movement, the importance of which lies in the fact that it represented the first grass-roots opposition movement within the Soviet Union since the end of the Civil War in 1922.
