What did the Einsatzgruppen do?


The Einsatzgruppen were an elite fighting unit (not all German) much like the ss. except instead of controlling Jews in the ghettos the Einsatzgruppen were made to shot them point blank into a ditch. This method was ineffective due to the use of ammo (6 bullets per person) which was expensive. This was also very disturbing for those in the Einsatzgruppen because they would have to kill babies, children, women, old people and men all day! The Einsatzgruppen was led by Himmler and they would also run the concentration/extermination camps.
