Founded in 1941-06

In 1941-06, before the attack on the Soviet Union, Einsatzgruppe K was active during the offensive in the Ardennen. 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.
