Book Review of Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland

Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland

Helpful Score: 1


This is a very interesting WWII book. The most curious thing comes from the title Ordinary Men. It is common to read in Nazi stories that a soldier "was simply following orders." Yet these men were policemen, and the people they were inflicting were neighbors. If you read this book you will gain a better insight into the mores of the times.
