The Einsatzgruppen
Germany's Lethal killing Units
Who were they?
This image here is an example of lining up and executing, this brutal strategy was used for almost a decade, killing over a million people and changing the face of the world, but this was only the first step in in Hitler's dreadful Final Solution.
How did they perform the killings?
Important People
SS officers
Jewish, Gypsies, and Communists
These few Jewish people are at the sights of a Nazi soldier who it is assumed to be taking them away from there home, this is seen in the man with his arms up, you can tell who is who in the image due to the Star of David on the chests of the Jewish family.
