''Einsatzkommando'' is a German military term with the literal translation of "mission command", roughly equivalent to the English term "task force". The Nazi-era ''Einsatzkommando'' was orginally an organization formed by Reinhard Heydrich to secure government buildings and documents following the Anschluss in Austria in March 1938 . It was later transformed into the Einsatzgruppen , a Genocidal Death Squad organization responsible for the mass murder of more than a million people. The term ''Einsatzkommando'' is still in use for German paramilitary organizations, such as EKO Cobra . |
