The Einsatzgruppen Reports: Selections from the Dispatches of the Nazi Death Squads' Campaign Against the Jews July 1941-January 1943 (Hardcover)
by Yitzhak Arad (Author), Shmuel Krakowski (Author), Shmuel Spector (Editor)

The book cited above has English language summaries. Due to space requirements I'm sure, they did not list the complete report. Also some reports were skipped entirely. Each report began with a political summary of all Reich controlled states including Germany. The next section would list Einsatzgruppe executions and comments about activities. The third section would list where the Wehrmacht and the front line was currently positioned. The final part of the report would list who it was being distributed to.

My scans below follow the book with the following exceptions:

I only scanned locations of the einsatzgruppes (usually). There is a lot of overlap from one page to another. This was done so I could get a font I could see. I do have the missing reports. Source: USHMM

The photos on the side are the work of my daughter and were taken at Birchenau in 2007.
