Description

Ordinary Men: The True Story of Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland This book tells the shocking true story of Reserve Police Battalion 101, a unit of average middle-aged Germans who became responsible for the mass shootings and round-ups of Jewish people for deportation to Nazi death camps in Poland in 1942. Browning argues that most of the men of RPB 101 were not fanatical Nazis, but ordinary working-class men who committed these atrocities due to a mixture of motives, including group dynamics, deference to authority, and the altering of moral norms. The book reveals the complex and nuanced nature of human behavior under extreme circumstances, and how ordinary people can be led to commit extraordinary acts. A meticulously researched and powerful work, Ordinary Men continues to resonate today with its themes and arguments, offering a chilling glimpse of human behavior during one of the darkest periods in history.
