The ERR consisted of the Stabsführung (headquarters), various working groups (Arbeitsgruppen, AG’s) and main working groups (Hauptarbeitsgruppen, HAG) which were organized to head operations in each occupied country. On the eastern front, the ERR was organized into three main working groups: HAG Ostland for the Baltics, including Estonia, HAG Ukraine, and HAG Mitte for Belarus and western Russia.47 Furthermore, the ERR was organized in Special Taskforces (Sonderstäbe), including for example a Special Library Taskforce or Special Archive Taskforce. In November 1941, Dr. Gottlieb Ney, was tasked with heading the new Sonderstab Bibliothek der Hohen Schule (Special Taskforce Library of the Hohe Schule) within the HAG Ostland and was thus assigned to survey libraries. He commenced his work in the Baltic countries attached to HAG-Ostland48, including in Estonia. In that capacity, he was intrinsically involved in the looting and securing of the Genss collection for the ERR. (English)
