Most of the UPA members are pseudo-policemen, with Germans supplying weapons and training, and they have practiced rounding up and massacres during the period of 1941-42 when they assisted the SS in the eradication of Communist Party members and Jews. So later on during the massacre of '43 they were extremely efficient. The heroine who protected her on the way to escape was actually the German Army, not the SS, so God knows that so many film critics will admit their mistakes. As for why the Red Army guerrillas were not allowed to appear, the movie actually explained that after the Soviet-German alliance destroyed Poland, the NKVD had already carried out a purge against the Poles. This movie is not bloody, nor is it comparable to the Belarusian "see it yourself". The truth of the 43-year massacre is a hundred times worse than the movie.
