Einsatzgruppen
"You're doing your paper on what?" The Einsatzgruppen. "What is that?" Mobile killings units set up by the Nazis to solve the Jewish problem on the Eastern front. I knew the Einsatzgruppen was not very well known, but as I told people about my research paper and they inquired further, I was shocked at how little, if anything, people knew. I knew it was a great paper topic to inform people when I was at the library and the librarian, who had never ceased to answer a question, asked me what the Einsatzgruppen was. This was a woman, who when I was a working on an obscure paper, knew about the orphanages in revolutionary France and where to find primary sources on them! And yet, she did not know about the mobile killing units who were responsible for the death of over 1,500,000 people, the majority being Jews (Edeiken). The Einsatzgruppen played a key role in the murder of Eastern Jews. So much in fact, that an Einsatzgruppen trial was held at the famous Nuremberg War Crime trials. This report will examine the origins, methods of killing, problems, and the Einsatzgruppen trial in hopes that more people will be aware of one of the mos!
They also argued that some of the reports were not signed and that the exhibits were copies. The reports of the Einsatzgruppen, which report in detail their murder and robbery, are the best evidence of the Einsatzgruppen doings. In the summer of 1942, Blobel began investigating the best way to unearth the graves, cremate the remains, and destroy any leftover evidence. The first occasion of collaboration was seen in the participation of pogroms initiated by the Einsatzgruppen. The beginnings of the Einsatzgruppen can be traced back to the Polish campaign of September 1939. In an effort to prevent the outside population from discovering the use of the vans, they were disguised. The implementation of their duty began with the invasion of the Soviet Union, Operation Barbarossa, on June 22nd, 1941. In the Crimean capital of Simferopol, it was decided by the Eleventh Army that the killing of all the Jews should be finished before Christmas. A weighty responsibility is also upon the heads of the Latvian auxiliary police headed by Viktors Arajs. The soldiers kept shouting: "Schnell, schnell!" laughing happily, as if they were watching a circus act; they even found ways of delivering harder blows in the more vulnerable places, the ribs, the stomach and the groin. While the army played a role in as collaborators, the inhabitants of the Eastern Territories and their auxiliary police played an even larger role.
