Reading into postwar testimonies, the study traces the historical, social, and organizational factors that shaped the officers’ approaches, and how they manifested during their Einsatzgruppen operations. The inquiry utilizes social psychology to distinguish and characterize each leadership style, and to assess how their separate and combined influences prompted followers’ apparent willingness to participate in mass murder.</p>}, number={1}, journal={S: I.M.O.N.
