Marching into Darkness: The Wehrmacht and the Holocaust in Belarus by Waitman Wade Beorn copyright 2014.
“On October 10, 1941, the entire Jewish population of the Belarusian village of Krucha was rounded up and shot. While Nazi death squads routinely carried out mass executions
on the Eastern Front, this particular atrocity was not the work of the SS but was committed by a regular German army unit acting on its own initiative. Marching into Darkness is a bone-chilling expose of the ordinary foot soldiers who participated in the Final Solution on a daily basis.” (Publisher’s Description)
