[edit]

Given that resistance fighters are mentioned, it is strange that Soviet paramilitary and irregular forces are not mentioned. Most famous and important - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_Guard_(Soviet_resistance) consisted mostly of 16-17 year-olds, but the youngest was 14 according to ru.wiki. Unlike "sons of the regiment" who are not generally considered combatants, those were active military and intelligence units. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.85.69.121 (talk) 09:35, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In the Red Army during the Second World War there were "sons of the regiments" - usually orphans, picked up by soldiers on the roads of war. In addition, Soviet teenagers fought in partisan detachments, participated in underground organizations in the occupied territories. Of the young partisans, Marat Kazei, Volodya Dubinin and Valya Kotik are especially famous (all of them were 13-14 years old at the time of their death). For military merit, tens of thousands of children were awarded orders and medals [source not specified 1095 days]. Many young participants in the war died in battle or were executed by the invaders. The monument to the children - participants in the defense of Leningrad - was erected on Nepokorennykh Avenue not far from the Piskarevsky memorial cemetery.

"No child has been prosecuted for a war crime, since World War II, by any court or military tribunal"

Quality

[edit]

This reads like it was created as part of a school project. There exists a multitude of quality sources on the Hitler Youth etc., but this article uses only one popular overview 'source'. I recommend deletion. 84.62.157.34 (talk) 18:39, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
