Deportations from Western Europe–

France, Belgium,

Holland, Denmark, Italy

“Ruthless toughness,” a quality held in the highest esteem by the rulers of the Third Reich, is frequently characterized in postwar Germany, which has developed a veritable genius’ for understatement with respect to her Nazi past, as being ungut – lacking goodness – as though nothing had been wrong with those endowed with this quality but a deplorable failure to act according to the exacting standards of Christian charity. In any case, men sent by Eichmann’s office to other countries as “advisers on Jewish affairs” – to be attached to the regular diplomatic missions, or to the military staff, or to the local command of the Security Police – were all chosen because they possessed this virtue to the highest degree. In the beginning, during the fall and winter of 1941-42, their main job seems to have been to establish satisfactory relations with the other German officials in the countries concerned, especially with the German embassies in nominally independent countries and with the Reich commissioners in occupied territories; in either case, there was perpetual conflict over jurisdiction in Jewish matters.
