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).
Where did the Einsatzgruppen operate?
Officially, the purpose of the Einsatzgruppen was to kill guerrilla fighters in the Soviet Union, but in practice their main function was to kill Soviet Jews.The ''Einsatzgruppen'' were a specialized German force. They were mobile killing units (death squads) and went into action behind German lines on the Eastern Front, killing mainly Jews. There were four Einsatzgruppen: A, B, C and D. They were all posted in different areas behind the Eastern Front.Incredible as it may sound, three of these four groups were commanded by men with doctorates! The commander of Group C, Otto Rasch, even had two doctorates and was referred to as Dr. Dr. Rasch.The Einsatzgruppen were SS paramilitary forces in WW2 that were primarily employed to eliminate Jews and Communist party officials. They were little more than death squads who killed without qualm or remorse.'The Einsatzgruppen were the mobile Nazi killing squads trained by the SS. They were dispatched on special assignments for the primary purpose of murdering Jews. Their task to kill the Jews on the spot - Jews, but not only Jews; communists, Gypsies, political leaders, and the intelligentsia were also killed. Order police battalions, Waffen SS units, the Higher SS, and Police Leaders also carried out the mass executions. Einsatzgruppen units followed the German Army (Wehrmacht) into the Soviet Union following the June, 1941 invasion of Soviet Territory. (1) Berenbaum, Michael, editor. Witness to the Holocaust.

Why did the Nazis get rid of the einzatsgruppen?
They were established in 1942 in the Soviet Union and were divided into 4 units if approximately 600 men: A B C D groups. Once the Germans were finally ousted from the Soviet Union in late 1944, these groups were disbanded because of the chaos and constant retreats. The vast majority of Polish Jews were murdered by 1944-45 for the retreating einsatzgruppen to roundup and murder. Genereal Ohlendorf, who commanded the einsatzgruppen D, was captured and tried as a war criminal at Nuremberg after the war. What makes his case so interesting, is that he was very open and honest about his crimes on the eastern front and accepted his guilt. He was executed by hanging soon after the verdict.
