賴歇瑙命令
賴歇瑙命令是1941年10月10日,納粹德國國防軍陸軍元帥瓦爾特·馮·賴歇瑙在第二次世界大戰東線戰場上對第6集團軍內部發佈的命令[1][2]。
這一命令為德軍大規模屠殺猶太人鋪平了道路[3][2]。此後,所有猶太人都被視作反德游擊隊員,德軍各指揮官接到指示,根據情況,要麼將猶太人即刻槍決,要麼將他們送交黨衛隊骷髏總隊下屬的處決小隊別動隊。[3]
賴歇瑙的上級、元帥格特·馮·倫德施泰特在聽聞賴歇瑙命令後表示「完全同意」,並通知其麾下所有陸軍將領,敦促他們也下達類似的命令,向部隊灌輸消滅猶太人的必要性[4]。賴歇瑙死後,弗里德里希·保盧斯接任第6集團軍司令,他在自己指揮區域內取消了賴歇瑙命令以及希特拉下達的政治委員令。[5]
紐倫堡審判期間,格特·馮·倫德施泰特表示自己在被盟軍俘虜前對賴歇瑙命令一無所知,但他也承認賴歇瑙的命令「可能傳進了我的集團軍群,也可能為軍官們所知曉」[6]。

The soldier in the eastern territories is not merely a fighter according to the rules of the art of war but also a bearer of ruthless national ideology and the avenger of bestialities which have been inflicted upon German and racially related nations. Therefore the soldier must have full understanding for the necessity of a severe but just revenge on subhuman Jewry. The Army has to aim at another purpose, i.e., the annihilation of revolts in hinterland which, as experience proves, have always been caused by Jews
