Hitler's New Order Was Failure In Kiev
Kiev dispatch reports the German occupation of Kiev as a failed attempt to impose a new order. German food categories rationed civilians, with four tiers based on compliance, but relief was scarce. Estimates claim tens of thousands died from starvation or repression, while the city’s prewar population collapsed from about one million to around seventy thousand. The occupying authorities evacuated Russians, seized homes, and favored German civilians, hindering Ukrainian agriculture and leaving Kiev isolated and degraded.
