Scenario Description
Throughout most of the Second World War, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) was engaged in partisan warfare, first against the Germans, then against the Soviets. The UPA tended to avoid conflict with the Soviet Army, instead focusing their efforts on the much-hated NKVD and Soviet Partisans, who waged a cruel campaign against the UPA and the villages that supported them. In one instance, a small band of Soviet partisan cavalry descended on the small village of Hrabivka, foraging for food and supplies. As they started ransacking the village, the Soviet partisans were set upon by a platoon of Ukrainian partisans and driven away. The next day, the Soviet partisan cavalry attacked in much greater force.
Location
Hrabivka, Ukraine
Battle Narrative
The Ukrainian Insurgent Army was a Ukrainian nationalist paramilitary and later partisan formation. During World War II, it was engaged in guerrilla warfare against the Soviet Union, the Polish Underground State, Kingdom of Romania, Communist Poland and Nazi Germany. It was established by the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists. The insurgent army arose out of separate militant formations of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists-Bandera faction, other militant national-patriotic formations, some former defectors of the Ukrainian Auxiliary Police, mobilization of local populations and others. The political leadership of the army belonged to the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists-Bandera. It was the primary perpetrator of the ethnic cleansing of Poles in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia.
