metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: During 1941–1944 the German occupation and intelligence services created an extensive network
  of training centers (schools and courses) in the occupied territories of the USSR. Mostly Soviet prisoners of war
  were involved in reconnaissance and sabotage work, although a significant number of agents were recruited from
  the civilian (non-military) population. First, people who were in active or passive opposition to the Soviet regime
  were attracted: former emigrants, those repressed or dispossessed, ideological opponents, criminals, and others. At the same time, a significant number of agents were recruited from the civilian population who remained
  in the occupied territories, especially from its most vulnerable categories (women and children). The recruited
  agents were used to carry out reconnaissance and sabotage missions, both in the rear of the USSR and in parts
  of the Red Army, and against the resistance movement. On the territory of the BSSR occupied by the Germans,
  sixteen training centers were opened where saboteur children were trained, and more than twenty were opened
  to train “agents in skirts”. Similar schools and courses were opened in Russia, Ukraine, and the Baltic states. The
  Soviet secret services and partisan counterintelligence bodies were well informed about such work of the German secret organs. The performance of agents trained from among the civilian population was low. There were
  some tactical successes and actions by enemy agents (especially on the eve and during the period of punitive
  operations), but strategically this work by the Germans actually failed.
