This article makes Kaminski look too benign. --Ch.Zalka 85.2.220.57 15:12, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
Concur. In any book I've read, Kaminski comes out a hellish figure. However, no direct references to (or specific examples of) his crimes are cited, so it'd be great if anybody with more factual knowledge edited the article. 212.188.108.174 01:18, 10 December 2006 (UTC) Dietmar
There never was a Russian SS division. Kaminsky had a brigade, the Germans planned to expand it into a division and reserved a number for it (29), but the plans were abandoned. You can look up Waffen-SS formations on this very site. While the lists do mention a "Russian SS division 29", the link leads to the article on a brigade with a detailed explanation how it never got to become a division. It's incorrect to say that Kaminsky commanded an SS division.
I also find it very suspicious that a man could be arrested in 1937 (above all other years) for critisizing Stalin, and then five years later he is miraclously out of prison working as an engineer. I saw reports of Kaminsky being jailed for stealing government property - that fits very well with the jail term _and_ the location of his incarceration (he obviously was not sent to Siberia). While it's nice to think (or invent) that Kaminsky was some kind of a political prisoner, there were no political prisoners in 1937 who would get five years, do the time at home, get released and get a nice job later.
Finally, the claim that the Soviet partisans called Kaminsky "the master of the Bryansk forests" is bizzare. It's like saying that the Oklahoma police called Tim McVeigh the master of U-Haul trucks. And is Bin Laden known in the US as the master of exploding planes? Why would the partisans be so nice and flattering about Kaminsky? Moreover, where exactly they called him that? Is there some kind of a partisan newspaper, or a memoir even, where some Russian seriously called an SS general a master of the Bryansk forests? Perhaps, it's just another bullshit in the long line of bullshit in this article?
Also, the article on Kaminsky Brigade is somehow much more informative on Kaminsky's bio than this one. And it does mention specific examples of his crimes, etc. Someone did a very poor job here.
