(German: , "deployment groups"; singular Einsatzgruppe; official
full name Einsatzgruppen der Sicherheitspolizei und des SD) were
Schutzstaffel (SS) paramilitary death squads of Nazi Germany that
were responsible for mass killings, primarily by shooting, during
World War II. The Einsatzgruppen had a leading role in the
implementation of the Final Solution of the Jewish question (Die
Endlosung der Judenfrage) in territories conquered by Nazi Germany.
Almost all of the people they killed were civilians, beginning with
the Polish intelligentsia and swiftly progressing to Soviet
political commissars, Jews, and Gypsies throughout Eastern Europe.
Under the direction of Reichsfuhrer-SS Heinrich Himmler and the
supervision of SS-Obergruppenfuhrer Reinhard Heydrich, the
Einsatzgruppen operated in territories occupied by the German armed
forces following the invasion of Poland in September 1939 and
Operation Barbarossa (the invasion of the Soviet Union) in June
1941. With the cooperation and logistical assistance of the
Wehrmacht, the Einsatzgruppen carried out operations ranging from
the murder of a few people to Aktions which lasted over two or more
days, such as the massacre at Babi Yar (33,771 killed in two days)
and the Rumbula massacre (25,000 killed in two days). Historian
Raul Hilberg estimates that between 1941 and 1945 the
Einsatzgruppen and related auxiliary troops killed more than two
million people, including 1.3 million Jews. The total number of
Jews murdered during the Holocaust is estimated at 5.5 to six
million people. The Einsatzgruppen were formed under the direction
of SS-Obergruppenfuhrer Reinhard Heydrich and operated by the
Schutzstaffel (SS) before and during World War II. The
Einsatzgruppen had its origins in the ad-hoc Einsatzkommando formed
by Heydrich to secure government buildings and documents following
the Anschluss in Austria in March 1938. Originally part of the
Sicherheitspolizei (Security Police; SiPo), two units of Einsatzgru
