The jurisdiction of the Stettin Gestapo office included the border commissariats of Stettin, Swinemünde, and Stralsund, the border police post in Sassnitz, and the\"foreign servic\" of Greifswald.

The third section in particular dealt with the expulsion from Germany of Jewish foreign nationals and enforced the ban on foreigners of Jewish origin passing through Germany. The activities of the Gestapo ceased upon the defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945. "@eng . "Управление государственной тайной полиции (Гестапо) (г. Штеттин)"@eng . .
