Gå med i LibraryThing för att få reda på om du skulle tycka om den här boken. Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. Very dense and detailed in the material. World War II is one my of my favorite historical topics, but I think this would be a difficult book for someone unfamiliar with general knowledge about the Nazi party and various parts. The author spent little time with backstory and the reader needed to be somewhat familiar with names, conflicts, etc. But, this allowed for a more in depth exploration about the "in's and out's" of the Gestapo, which I appreciated. ( ) A good book on the organisation of the GESTAPO, it includes details that I hadn't seen or known of before. It also gives a very clear outline of the birth and early years, which many books gloss over. It is important to know that the Author was French so the book was originally in French and then translated. Unfortunately there are parts were you can tell, but overall that isn't a problem. The story of the GESTAPO in France is very well told but for the rest of Europe it's more an implied story. You find out the major personalities within the GESTAPO, particularly those in France. For a man who was imprisoned by the GESTAPO it is very evenhanded. If your interested in the subject, read this book. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

The word 'Gestapo' has become synonymous with the terrible brutality and terror of the Nazi regime in World War II. The Gestapo came into existence in 1933 as Department 1A of the Prussian State Police. Under the SS, the Gestapo grew in power, and was given the job of investigating and combatting 'all tendencies dangerous to the state'. Schutzhaft (protective custody) gave the Gestapo the power to imprison without judicial proceedings, often in concentration camps. It was also responsible for destroying opposition to Hitler. By early 1942, as the Nazi regime became increasingly unpopular in Germany, a number of protests took place. The Gestapo's response was brutal. Thousands were arrested and executed, and all dissent was crushed. The History of the Gestapo provides an authoritative overview of this sinister instrument of repression. Never before had an organisation attained such complexity, been vested with such power, or reached such a pitch of 'perfection' in efficiency and horror. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
