Jäger Report

Complete title: Complete tabulation of executions carried out in the Einsatzkommando 3 zone up to December 1, 1941

The Jäger Report is a log of the executions carried out by the Einsatzkommando 3, a death squad of the Einsatzgruppe A. This report is instrumental for the falsification of Holocaust deniers, as it was tallied and approved by SS-Standartenführer Karl Jäger himself, the death squad's commander and the report's titular. In total, the report totals 137,346 executions ("aktions") around Lithuania, Latvia, and Belarus. The exact tally is hard-written at the bottom of Blatt 6.

This report also recorded the aktions of the Rollkommando Hamann death squad, an ad hoc, mobile death squad headed by SS-Obersturmfürhrer Joachim Hamann. The unit operated in the countryside of Lithuania.

Do not be fooled by Nazi-Apologists who claim that this report logged the deaths of partisans. Jäger writes at the bottom of Blatt 7 that,

"In Rokiskis waren 3208 Menschen 4 1/2 km zu transportieren, bevor sie liquidiert werden konnten. Um diese Arbeit in 24 Stunden bewältigen zu können, mussten von 80 zur Verfügung stehenden litauischen [sic] Partisanen über 60 zum Transport, bezw."

In English:

"In Rokiskis, 3,208 people had to be transported 4.5 kilometers before they could be liquidated. To accomplish this task in 24 hours, more than 60 of the 80 available Lithuanian partisans had to be allocated for transportation and cordoning off duty."

To support its authenticity, the Jäger Report was successfully used as evidence within court trials in the United States, Canada, and Germany. Of particular note was "US v. Stelmokas.," a trial in 1996 where the Jäger Report was used to justify Stelmokas's revocation of American naturalization.

The Jäger Reports were discovered too late to be used in either of the Nuremberg Trials. Jäger's own report could not be used against him in the courts since he committed suicide in prison before trial.
