German mobile killing units (Einsatzgruppen) operated in German-occupied territories in eastern Europe during World War II. This rare footage shows a mobile killing unit during a massacre in Liepaja, Latvia. The film was taken, contrary to orders, by a German soldier. Before the war, the Jewish population of Liepaja stood at more than 7,000 residents. German mobile killing squads shot almost the entire Jewish population of the town. When the Soviet army liberated the city in 1945, just 20 to 30 Jews remained.

  • @JimmyFormerMarine I agree.

  • this is madness, I know people can have some crazy ideas but on this scale, to reduce an entire population of people is impossible to comprehend.

  • @ReallyImportantWork The only lies I see on this page are yours. What a crock of shit you've written. There is more evidence supporting the holocaust than supporting your existance.

  • ¿Porqué hacen fila, mirando, esperando la muerte? ¿Porqué no se rebelaron?

  • This is part of the Einsatzgruppen A's work in Latvia in the summer of 1941 under SS-Standartenfuhrer Rudy Lange. An extremely brutal part of WW2.

  • @nachtschattenuser Mere partisans were not forced to wear rectangles with Jewish stars in them.

  • @clintonearlwalker mmh, sometimes jews and plunderers could be the same !

  • @Kettenhund1000 No, they were not "plunderers", they were Jews. If you search the internet there is much info about this massacre and the many other massacres in the Liepaja Skedes area. That information includes most of the victims names, their families, place of birth, etc. The only people that have to be shot are Nazi's and their collaborators.

  • nobody knows what they have done. maybe they was plunderers. plunderers have to be shot.

  • @MsCheechie If their were alot of oil or some way we could gain assets "airbases" my loving American Government would of jumped right in!!!!
