[[President Harry Truman]] approved the creation of a [[guerrilla]] army code-named "[[Operation Nightingale]]" in Ukraine. Originally setup by the Nazis in 1941, it was made up of ultra-nationalists. They would, as [[Oliver Stone]] described in his documentary ''Untold History'',<ref>https://shadowproof.com/2012/12/10/oliver-stones-untold-history-the-birth-of-the-secret-state/</ref> wreak havoc on the “famine-wrecked region where Soviet control was loose, carrying out the murder of thousands of Jews, Soviets and Poles, who opposed a separate Ukrainian state.” The CIA would parachute “infiltrators” into the country as well to further “dislodge Soviet control.”

The Nazis poured money into the OUN after the German invasion of Russia and pretended to support the goal of Ukrainian national independence. In return, a large OUN militia, code-named [[World_War_II#Nachtigall Battalion|Nachtigall]], or Nightingale, provided local administrators, informers, and killers for the German invaders.
