THE GEORGIAN UPRISING (THE RUSSIAN WAR) NETHERLANDS 2009
During World War II, a group of 800 Georgian prisoners of war joined the German army and were put to
work by the Germans on the Dutch island of Texel. A hard, but tolerable, existence; until they were told that
they were to be sent to the Western Front to fight in the German army. “We decided it would be better to
fight to the death there,” is how one of the Georgians, who survived the imprisonment and uprising, sums
up the general feeling at the time. The life-or-death struggle - which initially went well - had far-reaching
consequences, also for the population of Texel. The Germans sent a large detachment of troops to the island
to crush the uprising, leading to the deaths of not only many Georgians, but also many islanders.
