Operational Report No. 190, speaking of the activities of Einsatzkommando D, announces quite matter-of-factly that, in the second half of March 1942, a total of 1,501 people were executed, and then adds, perhaps boredly, "Total number shot up to date, 91,678." (NO-3359.) Descanting on the activities of Einsatzgruppe A, around Leningrad, Operation Report No. 150 declares: "There is no longer any Jewish civil population." (NO-2834.) Activity and Situation Report No. 9, covering the period of January 1942, apprised Berlin — |
"In White Ruthenia the purge of Jews is in full swing. The number of Jews in the Territory handed over to the civil authorities up to now, amount to 139,000. 33,210 Jews were shot meanwhile by the Einsatzgruppen of the Security Police and the SD." (3876-PS. ) |
| A special report prepared by Einsatzgruppe A, committed to the eastern territories, left nothing to conjecture as to the purpose of their organization. |
"The systematic mopping up of the eastern territories em braced, in accordance with the basic orders, the complete removal, if possible, of Jewry. This goal has been substantially attained — with the exception of White Russia — as a result of the execution up to the present time, of 229,052 Jews." (2273-PS. ) |
| Referring specifically to Lithuania, the
report carried the observation that many of the Jews used force against the
officials and Lithuanian auxiliaries who performed these executions and that,
before they were shot, they even abused Germany! (2273-PS. )
