Outbreak of War in Poland and Germany Christopher Browning's Ordinary People by

Book Review for Regular Men Due to the war between Poland and allies, Germany was forced to establish a police station to oversee the occupied territory of Germany in Europe. Since the German army was dissolved and largely restricted by the Treaty of Versailles since World War I, these police departments have been called command and police. (Browning, p.1) When Nazi won power in 1933, Hitler ordered the police to continue growing a few years later as Hitler condemned the Treaty of Versailles and began rearming Germany.

Among the ordinary people, Christopher Browning tried to answer two questions about the Polish massacre; how did the Nazis organized and executed the destruction of the Polish Jewish population? Browning books are based on 101 testimonies at the preliminary police, a member of the German police station. These testimonies came from the investigation of the Nazi war crime by the German government, which was made in the 1960s.

Between August 1942 and May 1943 the number of Jews expelled from their homes was estimated to be at least 45,200 men and women and children and at least 38,000 Jews were shot dead !

The preliminary police camp 101 consists of about 500 men, most of which comes from Hamburg in Germany and middle-class workers. They were reserve soldiers of the police and did not receive battle training, but some of them worked with the Jews before the war and had friendship with the Jews ... "There are no extraordinary men .. Just an ordinary person "Special circumstances" (William Halsey) This also applies to people who can change. This is what I thought when Christopher R. Browning named a book. People of the 101st battalion rarely face decisions. Even if the trap suggested "anyone who is unsuitable for the job before going out" (Browning, Chapter 7, page 57) in the morning of Joseph,
