| Since, however, primarily in the
large towns, the ever increasing security tasks cannot be solved by the
Einsatzkommandos alone, since they are too weak for this purpose, mounting
importance is being attached to the creation and organization of a regular
police service. Well screened, particularly reliable Ukrainians are employed
for this purpose; moreover, a network of confidential agents, predominantly

Tallin, larger Jewish communities were at Tartu, Narva, and Parnu, while only
few Jews were living out in the flat country. The deportations carried out by the Russians, as far as they concerned Jews, cannot be established in numbers. According to inquiries made so far, Jewry had hardly been affected by them. With the advance of the German troops on Esthonian territory, about half of the Jews made preparations for flight and, as these Jews had collaborated with the Soviet authorities, they left |
