June 22, 1941: “To Conquer and Destroy”

Professor Mikhail Ivanovich Frolov

The instruction in military training for troops reads: “Remember the glory and the victory of Germany. You must kill exactly 100 Russians for your personal fame. You have neither a heart nor nerves—you don’t need them at war. Having killed pity and compassion inside yourself, you shall murder any Russian; don’t stop, evenit’s an old man, or a woman, a girl or a boy is standing in front of you. Murder! In this way you will save yourself from death, ensure the future of your family and win fame forever.”
