Section A
Answer Question 01.
Source A
From ‘I Chose Freedom’ by Viktor Kravchenko, 1946. Kravchenko was a Red Army
captain during the Great Patriotic War but defected to the USA in 1944.
Had the Nazi invaders displayed good political sense, they would have avoided a lot of
the fierce guerrilla resistance that plagued them day and night. Instead, the Germans
proceeded to kill, torture, burn, rape and enslave. Upon collectivisation, which most
peasants abhorred, the conquerors now imposed an insufferable German efficiency. In
place of the dreaded NKVD, the Germans brought their dreadful Gestapo. Thus the
5
Germans did a magnificent job for Stalin. They turned the overwhelming majority of
people, whether in captured territory or not, against them and gave Stalin material for
arousing a burning national hatred of the invaders. Refugees and escaped prisoners
spread the news of German atrocities and how they regarded all Slavs as a sub-human
species. I know from my own emotions that indignation against the Germans drove out
resentments against our own regime. Hitler’s armies succeeded in inflaming Soviet 10
patriotism more effectively than all the new cries of race and nation in the Stalinist
propaganda.
