From its creation in 1933 until Hitler's death in May 1945, anyone living in Nazi-controlled territory lived in fear of a visit from the Gestapo--Geheime Staatpolizei--or Secret State Police.

Insuficient de coerentă încât să lămurească hăţişul instituţional al poliţiei politice şi serviciilor de spionaj germane. E, mai mult, o prezentare comprimată a represiunii naţional-socialiste şi a tentativelor de asasinare a lui Adolf Hitler. Dacă n-ai auzit de Kaltenbrunner, Muller sau alţi oameni importanţi din RSHA, merge. O carte de popularizare, fără subtilităţi de interpretare.

Highlights-- the book enlightens us to where the underground resistance was strong, such as Poland , France and Russia and where it failed, Norway.

O conteúdo em si é interessante, tem bastante informação sobre a Gestapo, a SS, também sobre o alto comando nazista. Porém, a ordem das coisas é um pouco confusa, às vezes ao descrever uma organização ou pessoa o autor vai até lá na frente, tipo 1942, para depois voltar pra 1933. Então, não ach ...more

Mooi en duidelijk boek dat een overzicht over de Gestapo en anderen geeft. Het is geen topper misschien ook omdat ik al redelijk veel literatuur van deze aard heb gelezen. Toch komen er een aantal nieuwe zaken naar voor welke mijn kennis dan weer verbreden.
Terug naar de Bib ermee en niet echt op de lijst om te kopen.

This book is basically a "behind the scenes" of the Holocaust.
