Oct 7, 2014 at 9:17 comment added jwenting and you discount the fact that one of the reasons he had the support he had among the German people was his stance against Jews and other "undesirables". Without that, it's quite likely he'd not have gained the fanatical loyalty of the German people, that they'd not have put up with the hardships they did put up with.
Apr 30, 2013 at 9:53 comment added Felix Goldberg @DVK: Yes, initially there was a large pool of latent support for the Germans but they squandered it very quickly by treating practically everybody else as some form of non/semi-human scum. Vlasov joined up with the Germans on the assumption they would let him form some sort of semi-autonomous government but this never happened, as the Germans went East looking for slaves, not for allies of any degree of subservience. Thus Vlasov's movement never really got of the ground - people did not sign up with him, seeing he had nothing much to offer in terms of perspectives for the future.
