Ordinary Men
A historical study examining Reserve Police Battalion 101, a unit of middle-aged German conscripts who became perpetrators of mass shootings during the Holocaust. Drawing on postwar interrogations, it analyzes how ordinary men were transformed into killers, exploring the situational pressures, conformity, and incremental brutalization that enabled their actions.
