Summary
The Einsatzgruppen Case tried 24 defendants who were in charge of the Einsatzgruppen, the German special task forces which were formed in May, 1941, just before the German invasion of Russia. The units were organized at the direction of Hitler and Himmler, by Reinhardt Heydrich, Chief of the Security Police. The personnel came from the SS (Schutzstaffel), the SD (Sicherheitsdienst), the Gestapo (Geheime Staatspolizei), and other police units. It was alleged that the primary purpose of the units was to accompany the German Army into occupied territories and to exterminate Jews, gypsies, Soviet officials, and other "undesirables". It was charged that a million people were killed by these units.
Specifically, the defendants were accused of: crimes against humanity; genocide, particularly of Jews, gypsies, Soviet officials; ill-treatment of prisoners of war; and other war crimes. The defendants were: Otto Ohlendorf, Heinz Jost, Erich Naumann, Otto Rasch, Erwin Schulz, Franz Six, Paul Blobel, Walter Blume, Martin Sandberger, Willy Seibert, Eugen Steimle, Ernst Biberstein, Werner Braune, Walter Hänsch, Gustav Nossike, Adolf Ott, Eduard Strauch, Emil Haussmann, Waldemar Klingelhöffer, Lothar Fendler, Waldemar von Radetzky, Felix Rühl, Heinz Schubert, and Mathias Graf. 13 defendants were sentenced to hang, 7 were sentenced to prison, 3 were acquitted and 1 was not tried with the rest due to health problems.
