 Despite having a generally critical view of Goldhagen, Bauer wrote that the final chapters of "Hitler's Willing Executioners" dealing with the death marches were "... the best part of the book.Little is new in the overall description, but the details and the way he analyzes the attitude of the murderers is powerful and convincing".Finally Bauer charged "... that the anti-German bias of his book, almost a racist bias (however much he may deny it) leads nowhere".
