The “Einsatzgruppen” were a gaggle of former or current cops, aging reservists and some volunteers who were sent in after the Wehrmacht had taken a territory.
Their job was to shoot Jews and Partisans. While “Einsatzgruppe” is the German word for Task Force, talking about the “Einsatzgruppen” always refers to these groups in the Third Reich.
Kollege, ich weiß nicht, was du mir damit sagen willst. Ich hab sowohl im Englischen als auch im Deutschen den Plural verwendet.
Wenn jemand im Englischen von “Einsatzgruppen” spricht, dann meint er nicht das Konzept von “Task Force” in einem deutschen Kontext. Es geht dabei, vor allem wenn wir schon über das Dritte Reich reden, um die “Einsatzgruppen des SD”.
ysk that Einsatzgruppe is just the German word for “task force”. What you’re referring to only makes sense when you specify you mean one of the SS.

the “n” at the end is regular German plural btw. don’t fall for this farce

it’s literally in the German dictionary. the firebrigades have Einsatzgruppen here too, for example.
some probably nazi professor getting a German boner when he doesn’t translate the title of units properly, doesn’t change reality.

Brother, it’s the name of the groups used in WW2. it’s also a generic name, but the “Einsatzgruppen” were a commando unit, whether you like it or not. it’s their fucking name.
It was an euphemism for the guys who went around shooting jews.
