HERR BABEL: One company. And what, at that time, was the exact strength of one company?
OHLENDORF: I do not know about the Waffen-SS serving with the other Einsatzgruppen, but I estimate that my particular group employed approximately 100 men of the Waffen-SS.
HERR BABEL: Were Death’s-Head Units (Totenkopf Verbände) also employed?
OHLENDORF: No.
HERR BABEL: Was the Adolf Hitler Bodyguard (Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler) employed in any fashion?
OHLENDORF: That was purely a matter of chance. I cannot name a single formation from which these Waffen-SS had been taken.
HERR BABEL: Another question that was touched upon this morning: When was the SD created and what, at first, were its duties?
OHLENDORF: As far as I know, the SD was created in 1932.
HERR BABEL: And what were its duties at that time?
OHLENDORF: It constituted, so to speak, the Intelligence Corps of the Party. They were supposed to give information about Party opponents and, if necessary, to thwart them.
