About Paul Blobel
Paul Blobel (August 13, 1894 – June 8, 1951) was a German SS-Standartenführer (Colonel) and a member of the SD. Blobel was primarily responsible for the Babi Yar massacre at Kiev. Owing to health reasons brought about mostly by his alcoholism, he was dismissed from his command on January 13, 1942. In 1943, he conducted Aktion 1005, the task of eliminating traces of mass murder and massacre carried out by the Germans in the Soviet Union. This was carried out by exhuming the bodies from mass graves and burning them, a task that Blobel optimized with techniques he had developed: alternating layers of bodies with firewood or the use of rails as grills. He was later sentenced to death by the U.S. Nuremberg Military Tribunal in the Einsatzgruppen trial and was hanged at Landsberg Prison on June 8, 1951.

Additional quotes by Paul Blobel
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. The persons who still had to be shot were assembled near the place of the execution, and were guarded by members of those squads, which at the moment did not take part in the executions.

After each firing order, when the shots were addressed, somebody looked at the victims, because the victims were then put into the grave when they did not fall into the grave themselves, and these tasks were in the field of tasks of the men of the individual Kommandos. The edge of the grave had to be cleaned, for instance. Two men who had spades dealt with this. They had to clean it up and then the next group was led there.
