		Further, since the Wehrmacht was under the absolute control of Hitler and the Nazi government, it's not surprising the war crimes committed by the Wehrmacht were historically out of proportion with the levels of atrocity usually associated with military activity.

		The Wehrmacht committed numerous war crimes during World War II — terror bombing of open cities, massacres of civilian population, the Commissar Order that called for the summary execution of Soviet political officers, and the execution of prisoners of war and civilian hostages as punishment for partisan activities in occupied regions.

	The debate in Germany over the crimes of Hitler's Wehrmacht Part 1 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The Wehrmacht led a war of extermination in Poland, the Balkans and the former Soviet Union, aimed at creating “living space (Lebensraum) in the East” by “liquidating the Jewish-Bolshevik intelligentsia” and murdering the Slavic population, all Jews and other “inferior races”.
		Instead, it is claimed, the Wehrmacht was merely suffused with a military sense of duty, “in itself, an honourable attitude” which was abused by the Nazis.
		His conclusion that the Wehrmacht could not be held responsible flies in the face of the fact that these executions could only have taken place in the presence and with the protection of the Wehrmacht, which in the main gave direct orders for the killings.

		This myth of the Wehrmacht as a 'haven' from the regime was extended to include not merely the attitudes of the generals, but also the actions of the troops, that is the reality of the army's conduct in war and occupation.
		The soldiers and junior officers who formed the bulk of the Wehrmacht's combat troops came to the army after years of extensive ideological preparation in a Nazified school system and particularly in the Hitler Youth, whose impact on the mentality of German youngsters in the 1930s cannot be overestimated.
		What can hardly be doubted is that by the time the Wehrmacht marched into the Soviet Union, its troops were prepared to wage a campaign of the utmost ruthlessness and brutality against what they perceived to be a demonic enemy even before their first encounter with the Russians.

	Review Essay
		Under active support of the Wehrmacht the four steps of the extermination were undertaken under the eyes and active participation of the local army troops.
		During the entire extermination process the Wehrmacht played a central role and was involved in all relevant measures, which led to the murder of the entire Jewish population in occupied Serbia — 17,000 Jews were killed within one year (1941/42).
