Paul Blobel Quotes

• I have always used rather large execution squads, since I declined to use men who were specialists for shots in the neck (Genickschussspezialisten). Each squad shot for about one hour and was then replaced.

Since they were kneeling on the brink of the mass grave, the victims fell, as a rule, at once into the mass grave.
