Автором приводятся факты, отраженные в архивных документах, на основе которых складывается объективная картина сопричастности военнослужащих-немцев к общему противостоянию против фашистской агрессии. Акцентируется внимание на поведении военнослужащих-немцев – офицеров, сержантов, рядовых на фронте: многие уже в первые месяцы войны героически отдали свою жизнь для грядущей победы. После депортации советских немцев, проживающих на европейской территории страны, в первые месяцы войны в Сибирь и Казахстан, последовало так называемое «изъятие» их из военных формирований. Волею судеб некоторым немцам удалось остаться в рядах Красной Армии или партизанских отрядах, их героизм впоследствии был удостоен государственных наград. Но большая часть советских немцев была отправлена в тыл, из них формировали рабочие батальоны, ставшие началом такого феномена советской военной экономики как «Трудовая армия».</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The article presents an analysis of the activities of Soviet citizens of German nationality on the fronts of the Great Patriotic War, emphasizing their contribution to the approach of Victory. The author presents the facts reflected in archival documents, on the basis of which an objective picture is formed of the involvement of German servicemen in the common confrontation against fascist aggression. Attention is focused on the behavior of German military personnel - officers, sergeants, and privates at the front: many already in the first months of the war heroically gave their lives for the coming victory. After the deportation of Soviet Germans living in the European territory of the country in the first months of the war to Siberia and Kazakhstan, the socalled “withdrawal” of them from military formations followed. But most of the Soviet Germans were sent to the rear, and workers’ battalions were formed from them, which became the beginning of such a phenomenon of the Soviet military economy as the “Labor Army.” The International Association of Researchers of the History and Culture of Russian Germans has made and continues to make a significant contribution to the study and popularization of the problem under study.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>советские немцы</kwd><kwd>Красная Армия</kwd><kwd>Великая Отечественная война</kwd><kwd>боевые действия</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Soviet Germans</kwd><kwd>Red Army</kwd><kwd>Great Patriotic War</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Бугай Н.Ф.
