When Russian General Andrey Vlasov was captured by the Germans in 1942

Speech by General Andrey Vlasov (Prague, 1944)

When the charismatic and respected Russian General Andrey Vlasov was captured by the Germans in 1942, he was persuaded by them to form a new Russian Liberation force composed of Russian POWs. The Germans intended that they should aid them in subduing the USSR. Vlasov saw it as an opportunity to once and for all overthrow Stalin and the Bolshevik regime. The ROA (Russkaya Osvoboditel'naya Armiya) was the result. Here, Vlasov speaks to an assembly in Prague, 11 November 1944, just six months before he and his men would surrender to American forces, and ultimately be handed over by them to Stalin and execution.
