New York: Holmes & Meier, 1991, revised edition, xxii, 113pp., .

The participation of middle and lower middle echelon Germans, and the development of the technology of destruction, in particular, the gas van for use in the death camps.

Contact seller5-star sellervery good dust-jacket, tiny stain along bottom edge near spine, original price $22.00, very good red half-cloth, gray boards. BROWNING, CHRISTOPHER. Ordinary men. Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the final solution in Poland. New York: HarperCollins, 1992, with second printing number line ending in 2, xxii, 231pp., . Aaron Asher… Books. - In the early hours of July 13, 1942, the men of Reserve Police Battalion 101, a unit of the German Order Police, entered the Polish Village of Jozefow. They had arrived in Poland less than three weeks before, most of them recently drafted family men too old for combat service -- workers, artisans, salesmen, and clerks. By nightfall, they had rounded up Jozefow's 1,800 Jews, selected several hundred men as "work Jews," and shot the rest -- that is, some 1,500 women, children, and old people. Most of these overage, rear-echelon reserve policemen had grown to maturity in the port city of Hamburg in pre-Hitler Germany and were neither committed Nazis nor racial fanatics. Nevertheless, in the sixteen months from the Jozefow massacre to the brutal Erntefest ("harvest festival") slaughter of November 1943, these average men participated in the direct shooting deaths of at least 38,000 Jews and the deportation to Treblinka's gas chambers of 45,000 more -- a total body count of 83,000 for a unit of less than 500 men. 9780060190132 ISBN 0060190132.
