2022 - is the 80th anniversary year of Hitler’s Bandenbekämpfung Directive. This thread is the first in a series of threads uploaded through this year.
Bandenbekämpfung was the Nazi concept of a war against insurgency. There was much discussion over the definition of the partisan as an illegal combatant. Copy of the first discussion document, but conferences and planning began in March 1942.

The reason for its implementation had been the increasing partisan problem in Russia, Yugoslavia and Slovenia. Throughout the latter half of 1941 the SS-Police and the army attempted to address the problem to be more effective in security warfare.
