In any case, since 1941, the terms "partisans" and "bandits" were used interchangeably with armed fighters, "suspicious strangers", civilian non-combatants, and/or Jews; these were all very fluid terms in the context of German security and genocidal operations.

To provide further clarity they launched on their own investigation regarding the battalion's activities. Also you seem to be overly concentrating on somewhat questionable translation of certain part of report. <i>Vaatamata keeldumisele kontrollis kaitsepolitsei omal initsiatiivil täiendavalt pataljoni (sõja)tegevuse kronoloogiat ja üksikasju vältimaks uusi võimalikke põhjendamatuid süüdistusi kõnealuse väeosa sõdurite aadressil.</i> would more properly translate into: <i>Despite the refusal, the Security Police, on its own initiative, further assessed/checked the battalion's (war)chronology and details, in order to prevent new possibly unjustified/unwarranted/unsubstantiated/unfounded allegations against soldiers of this unit.</i> Describing Security Police investigation as "denials and minimizing" you seem to imply that there was some sort of intentional whitewashing going on? This is very much controversial viewpoint to take, but I guess would also make German and Israeli police investigations even more relevant to this topic.--<a href="/wiki/User:Staberinde" title="User:Staberinde">Staberinde</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Staberinde" title="User talk:Staberinde">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:36th_Estonian_Police_Battalion#c-Staberinde-2018-08-12T11:38:00.000Z-K.e.coffman-2018-08-11T23:48:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">11:38, 12 August 2018 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Staberinde-2018-08-12T11:38:00.000Z-K.e.coffman-2018-08-11T23:48:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Staberinde-2018-08-12T11:38:00.000Z-K.e.coffman-2018-08-11T23:48:00.000Z"></span></dd> <dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Staberinde-2018-08-12T12:06:00.000Z-K.e.coffman-2018-08-11T23:48:00.000Z"></span>Anyway, as we seem to be going in circles, I threw together another version with more chronological approach to the investigations about massacre and battalion <a class="external autonumber" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=36th_Estonian_Police_Battalion&oldid=854587435">[6]</a>.--<a href="/wiki/User:Staberinde" title="User:Staberinde">Staberinde</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Staberinde" title="User talk:Staberinde">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:36th_Estonian_Police_Battalion#c-Staberinde-2018-08-12T12:06:00.000Z-K.e.coffman-2018-08-11T23:48:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">12:06, 12 August 2018 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Staberinde-2018-08-12T12:06:00.000Z-K.e.coffman-2018-08-11T23:48:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Staberinde-2018-08-12T12:06:00.000Z-K.e.coffman-2018-08-11T23:48:00.000Z"></span> <dl><dd><span class="template-ping"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-K.e.coffman-2018-08-12T23:40:00.000Z-Staberinde-2018-08-12T12:06:00.000Z"></span>@<a href="/wiki/User:Staberinde" title="User:Staberinde">Staberinde</a>:</span> I'm still objecting to this version <a class="external autonumber" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=36th_Estonian_Police_Battalion&oldid=854587435">[7]</a> as it has the same issues I already pointed out;

It provides short background about massacre, historical reports about battalion's presence in area, and early police investigations. 2. Then comes detailed description about history commission's investigation about battalions involvement, together with supporting encyclopedia entry. 3.

Finally conclusions from historian's article on this specific subject which concludes that it is not possible to take a firm position on issue.</dd> <dd>All main aspects are covered.

There is a contradiction between the conclusions of the history commission and body of the detailed report which Kaasik co-authored, which states on page 862: <i>"According to data gathered by Israeli police in September 1963, about 2000 and atleast 3000 Jews were murdered in Diatlovo and Nowogrodek on 6 and 7 August 1942 respectively. There is no reliable data concerning the participation of members of the 36th Estonian Defence Battalion in the execution of Jews. Contemporary researchers accuse the local German gendarmerie, one Lithuanian unit and a Belorussian defence battalion of these specific actions."</i> Apparently the allegations against the 36th police battalion were originally surfaced when the Soviets published confessions of two or three Estonian veterans in around 1948. However it turned out later that one of the men joined the 36th Battalion after the mass killings, so he could not have witnessed it, which puts the other confessions into doubt. With no other direct corroborating evidence from German or Israeli authorities found, that is probably why the detailed report concludes there was no reliable data. --<a href="/wiki/User:Nug" title="User:Nug">Nug</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Nug" title="User talk:Nug">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:36th_Estonian_Police_Battalion#c-Nug-2018-08-15T22:04:00.000Z-Staberinde-2018-08-14T23:04:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">22:04, 15 August 2018 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Nug-2018-08-15T22:04:00.000Z-Staberinde-2018-08-14T23:04:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Nug-2018-08-15T22:04:00.000Z-Staberinde-2018-08-14T23:04:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><span class="template-ping"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-K.e.coffman-2018-08-16T00:11:00.000Z-K.e.coffman-2018-08-14T04:29:00.000Z"></span>@<a href="/wiki/User:Staberinde" title="User:Staberinde">Staberinde</a>:</span> To clarify, prior to the RSN discussion that I linked, the comments on this Talk page included: <ul><li>"that source [Arad] is mistaken";</li> <li>"the specific research on the matter unequivocally shows they did not [participate in the Novogrudok killings]";</li> <li>"K.e.coffman's source may be prone to such error"; etc.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd>After RSN, there were no such objections, which indicated to me that the consensus had indeed shifted.

On that basis of his role as core researcher and named co-author of the <i>Estonia 1940–1945</i> report, his opinion carries significant weight. As far as I understand, the Novogrudok entry in the <i>The Encyclopedia of Camps and Ghettos</i> cites the <i>Estonia 1940–1945</i> report as a source, so it is really just a derivative work which doesn't independently add anything of the events, and thus its inclusion is undue. Also, I don't see how inclusion of decades-old investigations including the German Police investigation can be undue if it is cited by the <i>Estonia 1940–1945</i> report, this article is about the history of the 36th Estonian Police Battalion, so why wouldn't we also include the history of investigations of the 36th Estonian Police Battalions too.

In short, I don't see much of a contradiction between the Conclusions and <i>Estonia 1940–1945</i>, pp. 861–862. The book chapter is clinical in its presentation, while the Conclusions spell it out. There's certainly nothing on these two pages to suggest that the battalion's marching orders were "exonerating at best" or that the "specific research on the matter unequivocally shows they did not [participate in the murders]", as editors claimed in earlier discussions. <a href="/wiki/User:K.e.coffman" title="User:K.e.coffman">K.e.coffman</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:K.e.coffman" title="User talk:K.e.coffman">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:36th_Estonian_Police_Battalion#c-K.e.coffman-2018-08-18T00:16:00.000Z-Estonia_1940–1945" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">00:16, 18 August 2018 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-K.e.coffman-2018-08-18T00:16:00.000Z-Estonia_1940–1945"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-K.e.coffman-2018-08-18T00:16:00.000Z-Estonia_1940–1945"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Nug-2018-08-18T03:57:00.000Z-K.e.coffman-2018-08-18T00:16:00.000Z"></span>The current discussion was never about exoneration or claiming that the Battalion <i>did not</i> participate, clearly the killings involved more people than just those that pulled the trigger, lorry drivers, dog handlers, perimeter guards, etc, were also participants. I think that report does make the assertion that there is no reliable evidence connecting the Battalion with the specific action or task of shooting these people, which the report states were attributed to the <i>local German gendarmerie, one Lithuanian unit and a Belorussian unit</i>.

He continues: <i>Anfang August fand eine Mordwelle mit weiteren mindestens 9000 Opfern ihr Ende. Zum Teil führte die Gendarmerie des Gebiets, unterstützt von einer litauischen Einheit und der örtlichen Schutzmannschaft, die Morde ohne Hilfe der Sicherheitspolizei aus.</i> (p. 701) In English: "At the beginning of August a wave of murders with at least 9,000 more victims was concluded. Partly the gendarmerie of the region, supported by a Lithuanian unit and the local Schutzmannschaft carried out the murders without help by the Sicherheitspolizei." Thus Gerlach does not accuse these units of these specific action (i.e. the massacres on 6 and 7 August), but he accuses these units to be responsible for some of the massacres during that wave of murders. That is because Gerlach argues that the German civil administration, of which the Gendarmerie was a part, actively participated in the selection and killing of the Jews and that not only the Sipo was to blame.</dd> <dd>Reliable sources have been named that explictly implicate the 36th Estonian Police Battallion in the massacres (Yitzhak Arad, Yehuda Bauer). I do miss, however, Efraim Zuroff's contribution, which is crucial in putting the politics of memory into perspective. I would suggest to use Zuroffs's article <i>Eastern Europe: Anti-Semitism in the Wake of Holocaust-Related Issues</i>, in: <i>Jewish Political Studies Review</i> 17:1-2 (Spring 2005) It is available online<a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="http://jcpa.org/article/eastern-europe-anti-semitism-in-the-wake-of-holocaust-related-issues/">[17]</a> and has been reprinted in <i>Not Your Father's Antisemitism: Hatred of the Jews in the 21st Century</i>, ed. by Michael Berenbaum (2008). For further context one might look at Meike Wulff's dissertation "Historical C ulture, Conflicting Memories and Identities in post-Soviet Estonia," (Univ. of London, 2005). She comments on Zuroff's efforts: <i>This substantiates the idea that the commission’s carefully-worded and well-balanced report may not reflect the predominant opinion among Estonian historians, or indeed of Estonian society at large. Rather it can be seen as, if not as a token gesture, at least as an ‘emblematic’ use of history</i>.

While Wulf covers the most salient points of Estonian pre-WW2 history, I am surprised there was no mention of Estonia's enlightened attitude to its Jewish citizenry, since Wulf devotes a significant part of her dissertation upon the impact of Holocaust in Estonia.

In citing Berenbaum's and Zuroff's papers on Eastern European anti-semitism I guess it is inconceivable to some to think that Eastern Europe was not uniformly anti-semitic. Let's face it, there has been a strong thread of anti-semitism prevalent throughout much of Europe including the United Kingdom before the Holocaust. So I wonder if some authors work under an unspoken assumption that anti-semitism must have been prevalent in Estonia too. Certainly Wulf seems to attribute the extermination of the Jews as a revenge the Estonians took on them for the part they played in the Soviet regime.

On the contrary, not to mention these investigations may subtly suggest a "Germanless Holocaust" narrative. --<a href="/wiki/User:Nug" title="User:Nug">Nug</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Nug" title="User talk:Nug">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:36th_Estonian_Police_Battalion#c-Nug-2018-08-27T09:48:00.000Z-Assayer-2018-08-25T20:46:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">09:48, 27 August 2018 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Nug-2018-08-27T09:48:00.000Z-Assayer-2018-08-25T20:46:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Nug-2018-08-27T09:48:00.000Z-Assayer-2018-08-25T20:46:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Assayer-2018-08-27T14:48:00.000Z-Nug-2018-08-27T09:48:00.000Z"></span>The study by Wulf deals with post-Soviet Estonia and not with pre-WWII Estonia. Historian Anton Weiss-Wendt, who has published extensively about the history of Jewry and the Holocaust in Estonia, for example, notes that antisemitism was only marginal in interwar Estonia. After the invasion of the Wehrmacht there were at first no pogroms and no ghettos. He nevertheless also notes that the murder of the Estonian Jews by the Nazis was never discussed publicly after the war. According to him antisemitism is now prevalent among the Estonian people, because many Estonians deny any responsibility for the crimes perpetrated during WWII. He concludes that Estonian public opinion has it that Jews are not part of the Estonian history. That said, your quote of the "Germanless Holocaust" is actually by Andrievs Ezergailis and can be found <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://lpra.vip.lv/folklore.htm">here</a>. Ezergailis' work, though important, has generated controversy and is now nowadays considered dated. See, for example, <i>Lettland unter deutscher Besatzung 1941–1944</i> by Katrin Reichelt (Berlin 2011). You don't have to take my word for that. See the review by Matthew Kott <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><a href="/wiki/Doi_(identifier)" class="mw-redirect" title="Doi (identifier)">doi</a>:<a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://doi.org/10.1093%2Fhgs%2Fdct008">10.1093/hgs/dct008</a>. As Kott also explains: "Since regaining independence from the USSR, the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania have come under pressure from both domestic and international actors to engage in <i>Vergangenheitsbewältigung</i> with regard to the Holocaust. This has not been easy for societies who see themselves as victims of Soviet crimes against humanity and have had their understanding of Nazism and its crimes distorted by the very same Soviet regime. The resultant national historical narratives have thus blurred the roles of some victims, perpetrators, and heroes in a way that perplexes outsiders and raises fears of a rehabilitation of fascism. At the same time, persistent general ignorance abroad about modern Baltic history often permits gross oversimplifications that insult locals, who feel unjustly branded as nations of perpetrators." Thus I would strongly suggest that you abtain from damning conclusions concerning academic works, if you do not have evidence to back up those claims. To "wonder" if someone "seems" to subscribe to certain notions is simply not enough. Or, as Arad, who is also critical of Ezergailis, put it in the article you linked: "It goes without saying that there was no Germanless Holocaust."--<a href="/wiki/User:Assayer" title="User:Assayer">Assayer</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Assayer" title="User talk:Assayer">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:36th_Estonian_Police_Battalion#c-Assayer-2018-08-27T14:48:00.000Z-Nug-2018-08-27T09:48:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">14:48, 27 August 2018 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Assayer-2018-08-27T14:48:00.000Z-Nug-2018-08-27T09:48:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Assayer-2018-08-27T14:48:00.000Z-Nug-2018-08-27T09:48:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Nug-2018-08-28T22:07:00.000Z-Assayer-2018-08-27T14:48:00.000Z"></span>I have a copy of Anton Weiss-Wendt's book <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://books.google.com.au/books?id=zWkMAQAAMAAJ">Murder without hatred</a>, and he does not discuss present day anti-semitism within Estonia. That book is a detailed cataloging of the events of the Holocaust in Estonia, with Weiss-Wendt's central thesis was that those killings were not motivated by anti-Semitism or hate of Jews, but by other factors, hence the title. There have been some criticisms about Weiss-Wendt's interpretations<a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="https://networks.h-net.org/node/35008/reviews/46120/rutherford-weiss-wendt-murder-without-hatred-estonians-and-holocaust">[20]</a>.

In that article he assesses Estonia's level of anti-semitism upon the basis of people's online comments to controversial articles published via news portals. I think that is a deeply flawed methodology for obvious reasons.

The essay you mentioned seems to be an extended version with notes. You were citing Yitzhak Arad, <i>Popular Collaboration in the Baltic States</i> in: <i>Collaboration with the Nazis</i>, ed. by Roni Stauber, p. 64. And Arad is critical of Ezergailis, who attributes the notion of a "Germanless Holocaust" to Jewish survivors failing to see the Germans giving orders. Erzergailis dismisses the evidence of survivors as "folklore", whereas for Arad that is an essential source for reasearch. Therefore I would once again suggest that you handle sources and interpretations more carefully. I do no share the impression that <span class="example" style="font-family: Georgia, 'DejaVu Serif', serif; color: var(--color-content-added, #006400);">it seems as if the 36th Battalion were solely responsible for the killing of 3000–5000 Jews in the area of Novogrudok, implying a <i>Germanless</i> action,</span> even less <span class="example" style="font-family: Georgia, 'DejaVu Serif', serif; color: var(--color-content-added, #006400);">because K.e.coffman objects to the mention of a 1967 German investigation that also attributed these killings to the local German gendarmerie and other units</span>. It is stated by a quote of the <i>Estonian International Commission for Investigation of Crimes Against Humanity</i> that the "36th Police Battalion participated on August 7, 1942" and so forth. The wording does not suggest that the 36th was <span class="example" style="font-family: Georgia, 'DejaVu Serif', serif; color: var(--color-content-added, #006400);">solely responsible</span> for massacres on 6 and 7 August (two days). Apparently you do not object to that wording anyway, but rather press for the inclusion of a statement regarding a 1966 investigation <i>which also did not reveal participation in war crimes</i>. If I understand you correctly, you are not referring to files of the German investigation directly, but to a summary by the Commission on page 862 of their final report, stating <i>There is no reliable data concerning the participation of members of the 36th Estonian Defence Battalion in the execution of Jews.</i> The latter statement does not absolve the whole unit of war crimes, however, but merely notes that there is not enough evidence to charge members of the 36th with the execution of Jews, which is btw not the only war crime that the 36th possibly could have committed. Indeed, historians argue differently than the judiciary, particularly the German judiciary in the 1960ies. Historians do not need to prove individual guilt. They do not put people on trial. It would therefore certainly help to discuss Zuroff's futile attempt to press charges against former members of the 36th. Moreover, Wolfgang Curilla implicates the 36th in actions in Slonim, Stolpce, Naliboki, Lagoisk, and Nowogrodek. He lists an order of 8 August 1942 sending three Latvian and one Lithuanian batailion, the 36th, and a platoon of Gendarmerie to these places. (<i>Die deutsche Ordnungspolizei und der Holocaust im Baltikum und in Weissrussland, 1941-1944</i>, 2nd ed., Paderborn 2006, p. 399f.) These units were the "Schutzmannschafts-Bataillone" operation in that region, where further massacres occured on 8 August 1942.
