Galina Romanova

Galina Romanova (December 25, 1918 – November 3, 1944) was a Ukrainian doctor who was deported to Germany during World War II to provide medical care for forced laborers.

[1] She studied medicine at the Dnipropetrovsk Medical Institute for five years, but was not able to graduate because of the war.

She organized resistance groups among the Soviet forced laborers and worked to supply them with food and information.

One friend connected her with French and Belgian prisoners[1] and in 1943, she met Georg Groscurth, a doctor whose patients included Rudolf Hess and who was one of the founders of the German resistance group, the European Union.

In September, as the European Union was attempting to make contact with the Allies, Groscurth and other key members of the group were arrested.
