The Einsatzgruppen operated in Russia too and killed hundreds of thousands of Jews(around 300-400,000 I believe). Their exploits are actually far more well known than what the Einsatzgruppen did in Poland. There's the famous film, shot by a man in the Luftwaffe IIRC, showing these men at work - having Jews line up in a ditch and then shot. Actually there's plenty of film and photos of these units in action, but due to the forum rules I can't produce them here.
Well, actually that's true... the "don't waste bullets" policy was mostly applied to German Jews, I think. They probably didn't have as many qualms about using them on foreign Jews who were more likely to put up resistance. So I guess whether they were likely to use bullets or not, depends on whether you're a German Jew or not.
