History

Einsatzgruppe C, 750 commandos initially, had its headquarters in Kiev. Areas of operation were southern and central Ukraine.

SS units, specially trained assassins, assigned terror tasks for the political administration in the Soviet Union and other eastern territories. The Einsatzgruppen worked behind the lines and murdered political opposition. The Einsatzgruppen murdered between 1.25-2 million Jews and tens of thousands of Soviet citizens and Soviet POWs.
