The Banderites supported Hitler in his fight against Moscow, burning everything Russian on “their land,” while the Soviet Union exterminated gangs of nationalists throughout the war and for more than a decade after its end.
Starting in the summer of 1941, the process of German-nationalist Ukrainianization commenced. The OUN exterminated underground fighters, partisans and anyone who did not sympathize with the Germans and Ukrainian nationalism. The OUN members eagerly worked in the occupation self-government and police.
In the spring of 1943, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) was established in Volyn by merging OUN units with personnel from Ukrainian police units.The UPA recruiters often used intimidation and forced mobilizations. UPA was supposedto fight Soviet partisans, brainwash the local population, eliminate persons disloyal to Ukrainian nationalism, and carry out ethnic cleansing.
In the spring of 1943, the 14th Waffen-SS Grenadier Division «Galicia» began its formation under the initiative of Ukrainian organizations within the Governor General's Office.
In 1944, extensive UPA units in Western Ukraine were vanquished by NKVD and Red Army forces. Following this defeat, the nationalists resorted to employing small group tactics, relying on hideouts, executing surprise attacks, ambushes, and acts of terror. However, in early 1945, they suffered significant losses as several UPA leaders were either killed or captured.
