1) In the course of identification work in the municipal
hospital in Nikolayev, the Jew Hershko Salomon, who had reported there
for treatment of an injured jaw, was identified. The thorough interrogation
of Salomon revealed that he had been a member of a parachute, counter-intelligence
and assault battalion that had to destroy German parachutists. Prior
to the occupation of Nikolayev by German troops, the battalion was dissolved
and broken up into separate partisan groups according to the instructions
for partisan was from the commander of the Russian northwestern front.
One of the groups to which Salomon belonged retreated in the direction
of Kherson and fought German troops, in the course of which 43 German
soldiers were killed. Salomon was injured in the Jaw in that battle.
3) During the examination of so-called prisoners-of-war, it
became clear that the Jews Pinchovsky, Shoichert, and Shoshelevsky
had been members of a partisan company numbering 120 men who had operated
between the Red Army and the German lines near Novy-Bug and had been
scattered. The members of the partisan company did not wear uniforms
but were equipped with one gun and 45 rounds of ammunition. They had
been hiding together, apparently with the intention of establishing
contact with other scattered partisans.
