Ordnungspolizei

Ordnungspolizei 

The Ordnungspolizei were reserve police battalions under the control of Police General Kurt Daluege. The Ordnungspolizei, a terroristic and murderous group, were used to secure and hold down occupied areas in the East, particularly Poland and Russia. They guarded ghettos and controlled the Schutzpolizei. They engaged in horrendous atrocities. Recent data has revealed that these genocidal activities of ordinary men, not front-line caliber soldiers, preceded even the Einsatzgruppen.
