V. ORGANIZATION OF THE
EINSATZGRUPPEN |
|
|
a.
Introduction |
|
Before the invasion of Russia in June
1941, four Einsatzgruppen were formed, designated with the letters A, B, C, and
D. Each Einsatzgruppe was subdivided into a group staff and several "Einsatz-"
and "Sonderkommandos". Each was attached to an army group, a group of several
German armies, except Einsatzgruppe D. Einsatzgruppe D was assigned to the 11th
Army which later became a part of a 4th army group after the Germans reached
the Caucasus.
The following is reprinted here from the evidence on the
organization of the Einsatzgruppen: a photocopy of a large chart which was
exhibited in the courtroom throughout the trial, an Einsatzgruppen report dated
11 July 1911, and an affidavit of defendant Ohlendorf. |
