Do you think I'm not aware of the Einsatzgruppen? That organized massacres took place doesn't change the fact that typical German soldiers were not privy to such policies or that the extermination camps were not deliberately kept secret.

Regular Wehrmacht units were frequently attached to the Einsatzgruppen, either for logistical support or as active participants. If you were an ordinary soldier in Kiev, you certainly knew what was going on at Babi Yar. Was every Wehrmacht soldier an eyewitness? No, of course not. But plenty were.
