Book ID/图书代码： 05832019C00003
English Summary/英文概要： In the bnal days of the Second World War, Georgians serving in the Wehrmacht on Texel
Island rose up and slaughtered their German masters. Adolf Hitler ordered the island be
taken back, and bghting continued for weeks, well after the end of the war.
Eric Lee analyses one of the most exciting yet unknown subplots from the Second World
War. Whilst the April 1945 rising was extraordinary and unexpected, its roots can be traced
back to early twentieth century Georgia, when the Red Army conquered in 1921.
Despite this, the Georgians that were captured and converted were never truly loyal to the
Germans, and many made contact with the local Communist resistance when deployed to the Netherlands. They took their chance to rise up against their German leaders on Texel Island, massacring 400 soldiers in a matter of a few hours with knives and bayonets.
Upon hearing the news, Hitler ordered the island be retaken, and a bloody battle ensued.
On 20th May, 12 days after VE Day, Canadian forces landed on the island and ended the slaughter. Just 200 Georgians survived.
Lee goes deep into this fascinating story, explaining the rebellion’s origins, detailing the slaughter, and discovering its legacies, in a compelling book.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在二战期间，在特克塞尔岛上的国防军服役的格鲁吉亚人奋起屠杀他们的德国主人。阿道夫·希特勒下令收回该岛，这场起义持续了好几个星期，直到二战结束后。
埃里克·李(Eric Lee)分析了二战中最令人兴奋但又鲜为人知的陪衬细节，虽然1945年四月的起义异乎寻常，但起根源可以追溯到20世纪初，当红军在1921年攻取了格鲁吉亚。
尽管如此，被俘虏且投诚的格鲁吉亚人，从未真正忠于过德军，许多人在被派驻到荷兰时，与当地的共产主义抵抗组织取得了联系。他们抓住机会在特塞尔岛上反抗了他们的德国主子，用刀和刺刀在几小时内屠杀了400名士兵。
希特勒一听到这个消息，就下令收复该岛，接着发生了一场血腥的战斗。
5月20日，也就是欧洲胜利日后的12天，加拿大军队登陆该岛，结束了屠杀。只有200名格鲁吉亚人幸存下来。
作者深入解析了这段引人入胜的故事，究其叛乱的起因，屠戮的细节，和留给后世的影响。(Sandy)
