→Holocaust by bullet
===Holocaust by bullet===
===Holocaust by bullet===
More than half of the six million [[Jews]] exterminated in [[Holocaust]] were murdered by what scholars now refer to as the [[Holocaust by bullet]]. Indeed, the industrial scale [[mass murder]] in death camps by gassing was seen by the [[Nazi]] leadership as more humane toward [[SS]] soldiers tasked with carry out the murderous [[policy]] due to the deleterious psychological effects of having to look their innocent victims in the eye before killing them.
Einsatzgruppen squads began to carry out mass shootings during the last week of June 1941.<ref>[https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/timeline-event/holocaust/1939-1941/operation-barbarossa Operation Barbarossa | Holocaust Encyclopedia]</ref>
[[Einsatzgruppen]] squads began to carry out mass shootings immediately following the June 22, 1941 invasion of the [[Soviet Union]] in the last week of June 1941.<ref>[https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/timeline-event/holocaust/1939-1941/operation-barbarossa Operation Barbarossa | Holocaust Encyclopedia]</ref>
The 14th Waffen Grenadier Division (1st Galician)<ref>German: 14. Waffen-Grenadier-Division der SS (galizische Nr. 1)) Ukrainian: 14а Гренадерська Дивізія СС (1а галицька)), prior to 1944 titled the 14th SS-Volunteer Division "Galicia" Ukrainian: 14а Добровільна Дивізія "Галичина"</ref> was a German military formation made up predominantly of military volunteers with a [[Ukrainian]] ethnic background from the area of [[Polish Galicia]], later also with some [[Slovak]]s and [[Czech]]s. Formed in 1943, it was largely destroyed in the battle of Brody, reformed, and saw action in [[Slovakia]], [[Yugoslavia]] and [[Austria]] before being renamed the first division of the Ukrainian National Army and surrendering to the Western Allies by 10 May 1945. Volodymyr Kubiyovych (Ukrainian Father Jewish Mother) founded this Division in order for Ukrainians to aid the Ukrainian Insurgent Army with weapons.

[[Stepan Bandera]] was the leader of the [[Ukrainian Insurgent Army]] (UPA), which collaborated with the Nazis and fought against the [[Armia Krajowa]] of [[Poland]] and the [[Red Army]] in [[Western Ukraine]]. UPA is responsible for the deaths of 76,000 and 106,000 Poles, mainly [[women]] and [[children]], in Volhynia and [[Eastern Galicia]] during the merciless campaign of [[ethnic cleansing]]. Bandera fled Ukraine after his cause failed and eventually settled in [[Munich]], where he was assassinated in 1959 while working with the [[Gehlen Organization]].
