The Einsatzgruppen were active over German held territory. An example would be Babi Yar in Riga Latvia. 30 000 were shot one at a time and unceremoniously buried in a ravine known today as Babi Yar. This group was lead by maj lange,rudolph who was killed in action some time later. Major Lange was present at the Wannsee Conference in January 1942.

1. They were first established in 1939, shortly before Germany went to war against Poland. The Germans expected widespread guerrilla activity, and in principle the function of the SD-Einsatgruppen was to combat irregulars. They spent much of their time committing massacres. They were disbanded late in 1939.

2. In 1941 the SD-Einstzgruppen were re-established in order to massacre Soviet Jews.
