In Ukraine, there were so many more civilians killed than in other countries because Hitlerite Nazis and [[Banderist]] Ukrainian fascists went especially after civilian Jews, Poles and ethnic Russians. Stepan Bandera fought with German Nazis as leader of the [[Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists]]. Later, he separated from the Germans and continued killing Russians and Jews. Bandera remains a national hero of the Ukrainian fascist forces.
