Coles Reserve Police Battalion 101: And the Final Solution in Poland at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
A unit of the German Order Police, In 1942, these men carried out mass shootings and rounded up Jewish civilians in occupied Poland for deportation to Nazi death camps.
Browning shows that most members of the battalion were not ideological fanatics or committed Nazis. They were ordinary middle-aged working-class men from Hamburg. Their participation in atrocities stemmed from a mix of social pressures: conformity to the group, deference to authority, adaptation to their assigned roles, and a gradual shift in moral norms that allowed them to justify their actions.
Within the unit, three distinct groups quickly formed:
a core of eager killers who took initiative, a large middle group that performed their assigned duties reliably but without enthusiasm, and a small minority who managed to avoid direct participation in the killings—yet without reducing the battalion’s overall murderous effectiveness.
Argument is that ordinary people, placed under strong group pressures, are capable of committing acts they would never choose to perform on their own.
