In the autumn of 1941, an SS training camp appeared in the small Polish town of Travniki, organized on the personal initiative of Heinrich Himmler. The cadets of this camp were supposed to be, according to the Reichsfuhrer's idea, Soviet prisoners of war. In the first months after the German attack on the Soviet Union, there were millions of them, exhausted, psychologically crushed, dying of hunger.
