Soviet film about a Nazi-German false flag operation (fragment of "Confrontation", 1985)

Soviet film about a Nazi-German false flag operation

You are about to watch a fragment of the 1985 film Confrontation, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlGbl8mMUOY&t=10516s) based on the novel by Julian Semyonov of the same name, written in 1979.

The film is a drama-documentary, intertwining documentary footage with a dramatised plot of the novel.

Julian Semoynov is known for the usage of archival materials in the research for his novels, and the episode you are about to watch could very well have a real-life prototype.

The antagonist of the story, Krotov, defects to the Germans in 1941 and serves them. In 1945, through murder, he manages to assume a different identity, and only another murder that he commits in the 1970s leads the investigators onto his trail.

The German false flag operation, detailed in the episode, is situated subsequent to the liberation of Krasnodar from the fascists, which happened on 13th of February 1943, resulting in the order (https://docs.historyrussia.org/ru/nodes/367026-prikaz-a-gitlera-ob-evakuatsii-i-ugone-naseleniya-pri-otstuplenii-nemetskih-voysk-14-fevralya-1943-g) by Hitler, issued the next day, on the evacuation and the driving westwards of the population.

The operation must have taken place within a time frame from Hitler's order until the first time Soviet troops crossed into Eastern Prussia on the 17th of August 1944.

The parallel between the film episode and the events in Bucha was so striking that the following was posted at Beorn's Beehive (https://stanislavs.org/bucha-massacre-the-script-from-the-german-nazi-false-flags-of-1945-killing-of-the-russian-pows-by-ukronazis/) on the 5th of April 2022:

The UkroNazis are nowhere as thorough as their German Nazi “colleagues” were, so today we see a lot of plot holes in the UkroReich narrative. Back in 1945, the Germans used converted, now collaborating, Russian POWs, dressed in Soviet uniforms to do the killing (promising those POWs freedom), but then executing them on the spot to make a picture of a battle, where the Soviets would have seemingly killed the civilians, only to be killed by the Germans. And then the “indignant civilised West” in the face of the Red Cross observers would be invited to witness and document the false flag, thinking it was for real.
