So a friend linked me this thread recently, is there any truth that the USSR used those tactics or is it Wehrmacht white washing?
These hunting expeditions in their activities of destruction are to be dressed to the greatest extent in German soldier's uniforms and uniforms of the Waffen-SS looted from the German army. This will ignite hatred toward all fascist occupiers and make the conscription of partisans from the outlaying areas of fascist territories easier. It is important to have survivors who will tell about "German atrocities". For this purpose every regiment is to form hunter-units of about 20- 30 men strong with the task to detonate and incinerate the villages. We have to select brave fighters for this action of destruction of settled areas. These men will be especially recommended to receive bravery awards when working in German uniforms behind enemy lines and destroying those settlement outposts. Among the population we have to spread the rumor that the Germans are burning the villages in order to punish the Partisans.
These parts of the order are completely made up and you can use google translate to verify it yourself as well here. The order touches on the fact that German army lacks winter uniforms and uses local buildings to keep warm, thus the red army should form teams of well motivated men that could burn German housing behind enemy lines, forcing them outside into the cold. Nowhere does the order mention anything about wearing enemy uniforms of any kind.
