The perpetrators were face to face with their victims. They shot men, women, children - day after day, obediently and assiduously, as if it were normal work.

Tens of thousands of Germans belonged to the mobile commandos of the Einsatzgruppen and police battalions.
Who were these men and how could they commit such crimes?
