War crimes of the Wehrmacht
War crimes of the
Wehrmacht
were those carried out by the German armed forces during
World War II
. While the principal perpetrators of the
Holocaust
amongst German armed forces were the
Nazi German
'political' armies (the
SS-Totenkopfverbände
and particularly the
Einsatzgruppen
), the regular armed forces represented by the
Wehrmacht
committed war crimes of their own, particularly on the
Eastern Front
in the
war against the Soviet Union
.
