👉 German occupation of Belarus during World War II in the context of Generalbezirk Weißruthenien

Generalbezirk Weißruthenien (Belarusian: Генеральная акруга Беларусь; lit.'General District White Ruthenia') was an administrative subdivision of the Reichskommissariat Ostland of Nazi Germany that covered western Belarus from 1941 to 1944. It served as the Nazi civilian administration for the German occupation of Belarus during World War II, and supervised the collaborationist Belarusian Central Council of Radasłaŭ Astroŭski.

Wilhelm Kube was the Generalkommissar of Generalbezirk Weißruthenien until his death in 1943. Kube was succeeded by SS and Police Leader Curt von Gottberg who served as Generalkommissar for the remainder of its existence.

German occupation of Belarus during World War II in the context of Belarusian Auxiliary Police

The Belarusian Auxiliary Police (Belarusian: Беларуская дапаможная паліцыя, romanizedBiełaruskaja dapamožnaja palicyja; German: Weißruthenische Hilfspolizei) was a German force established in July 1941 in occupied Belarus, staffed by local collaborators. In western Belarus, auxiliary police were created in the form of Schutzmannschaften units, while in the east they were made as the Ordnungsdienst.

It was intended that the auxiliary police would consist of one policeman for every 100 villagers and one policeman for every 300 city residents.
