* Proposed. Six ''Einsatzkommandos'' would have been located in [[London]], [[Manchester]], [[Birmingham]], [[Bristol]], [[Liverpool]], and either [[Edinburgh]] or [[Glasgow]]. These death squads would have been charged with the elimination of civilian resistance members and Jews in the [[United Kingdom]]. Due to the cancellation of the planned invasion of Britain ([[Operation Sealion]]), the units never saw active service.
