The Gestapo is traced back to the start of the reign of National Socialism in 1933 through the Final Solution until its collapse in 1945. Special attention is paid to the individuals of this instrument of tyranny, namely Hermann Goering, the one who first controlled the Gestapo right through to Reinhard Heydrich, Heinrich Himmler and Heinrich "Gestapo" Mueller, who became its rightful chief. The Crimes of the Reich Security Main Office, the branch of the SS that controlled the SD and the Gestapo, are revealed with the greatest of force, leaving individuals like Adolf Eichmann, Otto Ohlendorf, Christian Wirth, Rudolf Hoess and others with no chance to plea, seeming that they were some of the main perpetrators of this terrible crime against humanity. Edward Crankshaw's book, first published in 1956, has not yet shown signs of old age, seeming that he was one of the few historians that attempted to report on an elusive organization that all came to recognize as another word for mayhem.

The sinister Gestapo planted its evil roots in the 1930s but it was during the horror of World War II that this notorious organisation became identified as the Nazis' leading instrument of repression. The Gestapo, charged with Nazi state security, still conjures up the images of brutality and horror that it aroused throughout the dark days of World War II and at the Nuremberg trials where the truth behind its activities was revealed. Edward Crankshaw provides an authoritative overview of the organisation, examining the trail of destruction it blazed across Europe, looking at its structures and its rivalries with other police organisations, and revealing the struggle for power within the Gestapo's own offices. As this brilliant book makes compellingly clear, the Gestapo grew enormously powerful during World War II, singling out opponents, real or imaginary, within the Reich and across the length and breadth of Europe. It sought out resistance ~ brutally suppressing it with torture and execution ~ used repression to deter opposition, filled the concentration camps with political opponents and ethnic 'undesirables' and actively sought to promote the Nazi state's perverse policies and quench its endless thirst to control.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. Edward Crankshaw's study remains one of the earliest and most influential examinations of the Gestapo's structure, methods, and role within the Nazi state. Drawing on post-war documents, interrogations, and surviving records, Crankshaw analyses how a relatively small organisation wielded immense power through surveillance, intimidation, informers, and selective terror. His account is clear, sober, and focused on the mechanics of authoritarian control rather than sensationalism. Codice articolo 50318
