Role of Soviet Children: Collaborating--Mascots


Figure 1.- Here are two German photographs from German soldiers in the Soviet Union. All we know about the boy is what can be deduced from the imafes which were taken during the Wunter. The photographs were probably taken in the Wunter of 1941-42 or 1942-43. They show a boy mascot adopted by the German soldiers. Put your cursor on the image for a cloesup of the boy.

Nor do we know who the boy was. He could have been a Baltic or Ukranian boy who the soldiers adopted. Or perhaps he was a Volk Deitsche boy. I'm not sure how likely this was because when the NAZIs invaded, the Soviets deported the Volk Deutsche to Central Asia and Siberia.
