Yes - there are a lot of photo of marching Wiermacht and Soviet and Nazi soldiers, standing together.. Where the photo, where they _marching_ together at parade???

The Ukrainian famine—known as the Holodomor, a combination of the Ukrainian words for “starvation” and “to inflict death”—by
one estimate claimed the lives of 3.9 million people, about
13 percent of the population. And, unlike other famines in history caused by blight or drought, this was caused when a dictator wanted both to replace Ukraine’s small farms with state-run collectives and punish independence-minded Ukrainians who posed a threat to his totalitarian authority.
“The Ukrainian famine was a clear case of a man-made famine,” explains
Alex de Waal, executive director of the
World Peace Foundation at Tufts University and author of the 2018 book,
Mass Starvation: The History and Future of Famine. He describes it as “a hybrid…of a famine caused by calamitous social-economic policies and one aimed at a particular population for repression or punishment.”

The Great Purge, also known as the “Great Terror,” was a brutal political campaign led by Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin to eliminate dissenting members of the Communist Party and anyone else he considered a threat. Although estimates vary, most experts believe at least 750,000 people were executed during the Great Purge, which took place between about 1936 and 1938. More than a million other people were sent to forced labor camps, known as Gulags.
On 24 September, the Soviets killed 42 staff and patients of a Polish military hospital in the village of
Grabowiec, near
Zamość.
[102] The Soviets also executed all the Polish officers they captured after the
Battle of Szack, on 28 September 1939.
[86] The
NKVD killed 22,000 Polish military personnel and civilians in the
Katyn massacre.
[1][84] Torture was used by the NKVD on a wide scale in various prisons, especially those in small towns.
[103]
The Soviet NKVD executed about 65,000 imprisoned Poles after
kangaroo trials.
[12]
The number of Poles who died due to Soviet repressions in the period 1939-1941 is estimated as at least 150,000.
[3][5]
Altogether the Soviets sent roughly a million people from Poland to Siberia.
[31] According to
Norman Davies,
[32] almost half had died by the time the
Sikorski-Mayski Agreement had been signed in 1941.
[12] Around 55% of the deportees to Siberia and Soviet Central Asia were Polish women.
[33]
In 1940 and the first half of 1941, the Soviets deported a total of more than 1,200,000 Poles in four waves of mass deportations from the Soviet-occupied Polish territories. The first major operation took place on February 10, 1940, with more than 220,000 people sent primarily to far north and east Russia, including
Siberia and
Khabarovsk Krai. The second wave of 13 April 1940, consisted of 320,000 people sent primarily to
Kazakhstan. The third wave of June–July 1940 totaled more than 240,000. The fourth and final wave occurred in June 1941, deporting 300,000.
