ABSTRACT:
5 pages in length. Christopher Browning's "Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland" discusses the reactive nature of men who are under the mental, emotional and physical strain of superior orders. The extent to which members of Reserve Battalion 101 opted to participate in the Nazi genocide, despite the fact they were given a choice, speaks volumes regarding the overwhelming influence Hitler had over ordinary men – artisans and working class police reservists untrained for such atrocities – who would otherwise never consider killing another human being. No additional sources cited.
