re: #261 calcajun

Including murder? Why then did Himmler have to keep giving the members of the einsatzgruppen so many pep talks about how what they were doing was necessary but how they would never be able to talk of it?

They fully expected to be able to talk about it when the Nazi Order was firmly established in Europe. They planned to hide it otherwise.

The documentation is there. If you’re looking for an Erlass from the Reichstag or a signed note from Hitler, true, that’s not extant. Everything else but what they could destroy on retreat has survived.
