Управление государственной тайной полиции (Гестапо) (г. Берлин) 

The German Secret State Police (Gestapo) originated in the political department of the police headquarters in Berlin during the Weimar Republic. With the Nazi assumption of power in 1933, this agency, renamed the Gestapo, came under the control of Hermann Goring and Rudolf Diels, and later, of Heinrich Himmler and Reinhard Heydrich. It was given broad powers of arrest and wiretapping, and engaged in torture and executions. Section II 1 of the Gestapo was charged with fighting the"enemie" of the regime, including the Jews. After Kristallnacht (November 9-10, 1938), the Gestapo became the main instrument of the Nazi regime's anti-Jewish policies. In 1939, the Gestapo was fused with other security arms (the Sipo and SD) to form the Reichssicherheitshauptamt (RSHA). The Gestapo took part in the enslavement of"inferior races""pacifyin" and subduing the occupied territories, and persecuting the Jews; it carried out a major role in the"Final Solution" It supervised deportations from the ghettos to extermination camps, and pressured German-allied countries to deport their Jews.
