The Einsatzgruppen were paramilitary groups formed under the direction of Reinhard Heydrich, deputy to Heinrich Himmler and operated by the Schutzstaffel (SS) before and during World War II. Their principal task, according to SS General Erich von dem Bach, at the Nuremberg Trials: "was the annihilation of the Jews, Gypsies, and Soviet political commissars". They were a key component in the implementation of the final solution of the Jewish question (German: 'Die Endlösung der Judenfrage) in the conquered territories. Formed mainly of men from the Ordnungspolizei, the Waffen-SS, and local volunteers, and led by Gestapo, Kripo, and SD officers, these death squads followed the Wehrmacht as it advanced eastwards through Eastern Europe en route to the Soviet Union. In occupied territory, the Einsatzgruppen also used the local populace for additional security and manpower when needed. The activities of the Einsatzgruppen were spread through a large pool of soldiers from the branches of the SS and Reich.
