Summary[edit]

Description
English: Interior of "the Gestapo office" at Lofoten War Memorial Museum in Norway::

The majority of SS personnel wore a variation of the Waffen-SS uniform or the grey-green SS service tunic. Branches with personnel that normally would wear civilian attire in the Reich (such as the Gestapo and Kripo) were issued grey-green SS uniforms in occupied territory to avoid being mistaken for civilians.
  • German Security Police spring steel baton/club/stick (Sicherheitspolizei (SIPO) Stahlrute/Teleskopschlagstock)
  • German steel helmet (Stahlhelm) with SS runes on decal
  • Desk clock decorated with Nazi style national imperial eagle (Reichsadler/Parteiadler) and emblem of the Reichsarbeitsdienst (RAD)
  • SS labelled wine bottle cooler ice bucket
  • Wine bottle (Niederdonau-Weine)
  • Photo of Hitler
etc.

The Geheime Staatspolizei (Secret State Police), abbreviated Gestapo, was the official secret police (political police) of Nazi Germany and German-occupied Europe before and during World War II. The Gestapo force was created by Hermann Göring in 1933 by combining the various security police agencies of Prussia into one organisation. Beginning on 20 April 1934, it passed to the administration of | (SS) national leader Heinrich Himmler, who in 1936 was appointed Chief of German Police (Chef der Deutschen Polizei) by Hitler. The Gestapo at this time became a national rather than a Prussian state agency as a sub-office of the Sicherheitspolizei (SiPo; Security Police). Then, from 27 September 1939 forward, it was administered by the Reichssicherheitshauptamt (RSHA; Reich Main Security Office). It became known as Amt (Dept) 4 of the RSHA and was considered a sister organisation to the Sicherheitsdienst (SD; Security Service). During World War II, the Gestapo played a key role in the Nazi plan to exterminate the Jews of Europe.
