The Feodosia Massacre was a war crime committed by the Soviet Red Army against approximately 160 wounded German Wehrmacht prisoners of war on the Eastern Front of World War II, from December 29, 1941 to January 1, 1942.

　　The Feodosia Massacre was a war crime committed by the Soviet Red Army on the Eastern Front of World War II, in which they massacred approximately 160 wounded German prisoners of war between December 29, 1941 and January 1, 1942. This massacre attracted attention for the relatively large number of victims and the “unnecessary cruelty” of the perpetrators, who froze the victims alive in the ice.

　　On November 3, the port city of Feodosiya on the Crimean Peninsula was occupied by units of the German 46th and 170th Infantry Divisions. On December 29, Soviet Red Army marines and regular infantry landed on the shores of Feodosiya and captured the city. According to documents prepared by the High Command of the Wehrmacht, “an order was issued to kill every single German in Feodosiya, whether wounded or not.”

　　On January 18th 1942, the Germans reoccupied Feodosiya and discovered a massacre of around 160 wounded German soldiers. Most of the Soviet Red Army infantry were drunk and killed around 160 wounded soldiers. The wounded soldiers were thrown out of the hospital windows by the Soviet Red Army, and the seriously injured were left to freeze to death after being doused with water. On the beach in front of the field hospital, the bodies of those who had been beaten and mutilated were piled up, thrown from a wall several meters high and left on the shore.

On the eastern front of World War II, the German army occupied the port town of Feodosiya on the Crimean Peninsula on the shore of the Black Sea on November 3, 1941, and after taking control of the Kerch Peninsula, they decided to withdraw the German army from this area in order to concentrate on the attack on Sevastopol. Only a small unit of German troops remained in Feodosiya to defend the city, and soldiers injured in battle were treated in the city's hospitals.

On the afternoon of December 29, the city was bombarded by the Black Sea Fleet of the Soviet Red Army, and Soviet Red Army marines landed in Feodosiya, overwhelming the German defenses in the Battle of Kerch. The city was retaken by the Germans on January 18, 1942, killing around 6,700 Russian soldiers and taking 10,000 prisoners of war. The German soldiers who entered the port town encountered a horrific scene in which most of the German soldiers had been slaughtered.
