During World War II, the Naliboki Forest hosted many thousands of those who escaped from Nazi terror and formed partisan troops – Soviet, Jewish and Polish as well as criminals without any political ideals.
Subsequently escaping to join up with Soviet partisans active in Nazi-occupied Belarus, he became chief of staff of the Pobeda ("Victory") detachment of the Mstitel ("Avenger") partisan battalion, which formed in the summer of 1942 in the forests just north of the Belarusian capital, Minsk.
He defected to the Nazis to fight for the German Army but has now switched sides again and agreed to join a group of partisans and fight now against the Nazis.
The Soviet partisans in Latvia, except those in the forests of Courland in 1944-45 and Lubāns swamps, did not threaten the German Army and its military resources, but rather participated in acts of terror against civilians, served as lookouts for the Red Army, and created lists of enemies of the Soviets that were later used for deportation and extermination of civilians.
