Life in German-Occupied Soviet CITIES during World War II – What was it like?

Life in German-occupied Soviet cities during World War II was marked by brutality, deprivation, and oppression. The Germans ruled these cities through harsh military and civil administrations, guided by the ideology of superiority and economic exploitation. The occupiers implemented policies aimed at stripping resources for the war effort and systematically eradicating perceived threats, including Jewish people, communists, and partisans. The German plans for the occupied territories, outlined in the Generalplan Ost, envisioned the decimation or enslavement of local populations to make way for German settlers. Cities were often turned into hubs for resource extraction and supply lines. Food, industry, and manpower were requisitioned, leaving local populations to face famine, forced labor, and displacement. Life for civilians was harsh. Basic services collapsed, food was scarce, and those not immediately targeted for execution often lived in constant fear of deportation or reprisals. Resistance activities, such as partisan movements, were met with brutal crackdowns, including collective punishment and massacres. Some Soviet citizens collaborated with the Germans, either out of ideological alignment or survival necessity, while others resisted. Overall, German-occupied Soviet cities were scenes of immense suffering, with life dominated by violence, exploitation, and fear.
