| Summary: | This big, detailed, and carefully footnoted book analyzes two police battalions recruited in Bremen and very deeply involved in the Holocaust. The author traces the history of the Bremen police force in its various formations through the Weimar years, the Nazi peacetime and wartime, and the postwar era. Illustrated with numerous pictures of contemporary events and individual members of the police, the book is based on an extraordinary effort to retrieve information about an element in the history of Bremen that had been systematically and deliberately pushed aside. The story makes neither pleasant nor easy reading, but it certainly needed to be told. |
