    Thank you for the nice images and thanks to all who keep this site going, may the holidays bring them much good fortune, peace, serenity and reflection, untroubled by my vitriol about "sculls" and collectors who fail to attain my ideals for them of historical perfection. Let us hope that the world manages to find more peace and serenity in the year to come than in the year just passed, however.

    Another facebook kind of thing to say, sorry!
    Anything that leads one to add value through one's own labor in the classical sense has much more merit than much of what is wrongly described as work, actually.

    So part of the Gestapo or the other way around, the Gestapo were part of the Sipo?

    The second statement is the correct one as of the date this image was made. The evolution of police and party in the III. Reich is, to use an overused phrase, very complicated. A simple way is to look in vol. V of Mollo, which is devoted to all of this. Otherwise, I can give you a shelf of books to read.

    The whole police and security side of the SS is something that I know very little about. My meagre brain capacity can only handle so much information so I'll have to leave that study for another time.

    When the spirit moves me, I will explain it to you. The leading principle was the NSDAP penetration of existing state institutions, which then existed in a dual posture, in competition, and, in the case of Himmler, he became head of the German police in 1936. The secret police and political police were re organized and nazified in a process that varied from Land to Land, i.e. Prussia versus Bavaria. The original Gestapa was the work of Goering in his role as Minister President of Prussia in 1933, and Himmler and the SS got control of same in the process of the consolidation of the police in the subsequent years.Waffen SS Officers Schirmmütze: real or fake?
