Gestapo
Gestapo The Nazi secret police or
Geheime Staatspolizei. In 1933 Hermann
GOERING reorganized the Prussian plain-clothes political police as the Gestapo. In 1934 control of the force passed to
HIMMLER, who had restructured the police in the other German states, and headed the SS or
Schutzstaffel. The Gestapo was effectively absorbed into the SS and in 1939 was merged with the SD or
Sicherheitsdienst (Security Service), the intelligence branch of the SS, in a Reich Security Central Office under Reinhard
HEYDRICH. The powers of these organizations were vast: any person suspected of disloyalty to the regime could be summarily executed. The SS and the Gestapo controlled the
CONCENTRATION CAMPS and set up similar agencies in every occupied country.
