Very good and detailed account of how the Wehrmacht rapidly became complicit in the Holocaust over the course of 1941. He draws on the histories of individual units assigned to occupation duty in various localities occupied Belarus as the front moved eastward. While there were some soldiers and officers who avoided participation in the killing of the Jews, and even would demonstrate decency and heroism, as a rule most soldiers went with the flow and willingly participated in the executions, either supporting it with security to seal off areas, or in many cases pulling the trigger. Beorn provides a solid discussion of how the Wehrmacht's organizational culture helped enable this, along with the social pressures of soldiers to go along with the others. One key point was the Mogilev Conference in September 1941 that laid out the extermination polity, what was expected of army units, and how to go about the nuts and bolts, complete with a field demonstration. Lots of factors involved in this overall history, and the author does a fine job unpacking them. Depressing, but important reading.
