(He was called Dr. Dr. because he had two(!) doctorates).

What was einzengruppen?
The Einsatzgruppen were special units of the SS during WWII that operated mainly in Eastern Europe in the early stages of Operation Barbarossa. The Einsatzgruppen (there were several sub-units, Einsatzgruppen a-d) would get in to occupied parts of the USSR before the Wermacht actually got to them,would search for Jews in villages and towns, gather them together and murder them, usually by shooting them down into mass graves. The most famous of these sites are Babi Yar (in Kiev, the Ukraine) and Ponary (outside Vilnius, Lithuania).
What were mass open air shootings carried out by the Nazis?
In many parts of Eastern Europe, the Nazis rounded up victims - usually Jews, took them into open country, forced them to dig their own graves often in the form of pits. The victims were then lined up at the edge, shot and either fell or were pushed into the pit. Then the next group was lined up and so on. One of the biggest mass open air shooting was at Babi Yar (near Kiev). About 33,500 Jews were shot in that massacre. (In this case the Nazis used a natural ravine).
What happened near Kiev and Odessa during the holocaust?
The Jews of Kiev were taken to a ravine called Babi Yaroutside the city, marched up to the edge and machine-gunned. About 33,000 were killed: it was the biggest single massacre that the Nazis committed and last for some days.Before the Holocaust Odessa had a large, flourishing Jewish community. The city was taken by Romanian forces (which, for the most part, were rabidly anti-Jewish). A bomb exploded and it was simply taken for granted that "the Jews" were responsible - and they were massacred.
Where was the final solution held?
The "final solution" was not a single event, but rather a program of genocide against Jews. Its full nomenclature was the "final solution to the Jewish problem." This term was the euphemism used by Nazi leaders so that they would not have to use such unacceptable words as "genocide," "killing," or "murder" which would imply that they were committing crimes. They were, of course, but they didn't want to see it that way. If it can be said that the final solution took place anywhere, the most likely locations would be the many concentration camps that the Nazis established, although Jews were also often shot at remote and isolated places outdoors, wherever they were found from France to the eastern boundaries of Germany's expansion into Russia. In particular, see Babi Yar-nearly 34,000 Jews were shot and left in a ravine outside Kiev over two days in September 1941.
