I would take anything the Soviets said with a grain of salt. I'm sure there were confrontations between enemy Jewish groups and the Germans, but I'm only taking into account if the Germans actually killed innocent civilians or not. The Soviets made a lot of shit up to blame the Germans for their own crimes.

The Babi Yar massacre was well documented. In September 1941, the Germans rounded up over 30,000 Jews and executed them by gunfire. That was done by Einsatzgruppe C, on the orders of Otto Rasch.

They were responsible for similar massacres in the Ukraine that year: At Kamianets-Podolsky, Nikolaev, Berdychiv, and Odessa.

The Soviets made a lot of shit up to blame the Germans for their own crimes.

The only time the Soviets did that was with the Katyn massacre, when they executed thousands of Polish officers and tried to blame the Germans.
