In 1943, the German Eastern Front was in a mess, and the Western Front began to "sound like a crane"!
In order to strengthen the defenses of the Western Front, the German army sent a "Georgian Legion 822 Infantry Battalion" to the Dutch island of Texel.
As soon as we heard the name of this Nazi unit, we knew that it was a puppet army of Soviet prisoners of war on the Eastern Front, most of whom were Georgians.
These "weak-willed" did not want to enter the prisoner-of-war camp, so the Germans "benevolently" incorporated them into puppet armies to assist them in some defensive tasks in the rear.
But after this "822 infantry battalion of the Georgian Legion" was sent to the Netherlands, they have always been "in the heart of the Cao camp in Han".
Especially after 1945, when the officers and men of this force saw that the German army had begun to rout, the Georgians began to plan for their own way back: to prepare for an uprising.
They contacted the Allies in advance, stating that they would launch an uprising on April 5, 1945, and then receive the Allied landings on Texel.
On the night of 5 April, the Georgians of the 822nd Infantry Battalion launched an uprising on time: they first killed 400 German soldiers on the island of Texel.
These German soldiers and Georgians were stationed together, and in peacetime, they were also in case of "change" in the 822nd Infantry Battalion.
That night, the Georgians, taking advantage of the fact that the German soldiers were all asleep, quietly "settled" them one by one with daggers and bayonets.
The uprising went well in the early days, but the naval batteries in the south and north of the island remained in German hands. The 822nd Infantry Battalion was then to hold the island of Texel, waiting for the Allied landings to meet them. But the forts were not captured, making it impossible for the Allies to arrive on time.
What the 822nd Infantry Battalion never expected was that the Allies did not come here, and the German reinforcements over there came! German repression came quickly: the German 163rd Naval Protection Regiment began to land on the island from the mainland.
For whatever reason, the Allies on the Western Front released the Georgian "doves", and the consequences were severe: the 822nd Infantry Battalion was quickly suppressed by the Germans! The remnants were forced to break up and fight a guerrilla war on the island.
It wasn't until two weeks later that the island of Texel was completely retaken by the Germans! The commander of the German major, Klaus Breitner, immediately ordered that all Georgians involved in the uprising be stripped of their German uniforms, let them dig their own graves and stand on the side, and then let the German soldiers execute them all.
It was an uprising with a tragic ending, and the history of World War II says little about it.
