:The Gestapo did not have Waffen-SS officers "per se" in it; but, as you may know, general SS officers could belong to different braches of the SS at the same time. They could even have one rank in the Allgemeine SS (general SS) and a different rank in the Waffen-SS; Hermann Fegelein is an example of that or they could have rank in the general SS and Gestapo like Heinrich Müller. Müller was first chief of operations of the Gestapo under Gestapo chief Heydrich (who Himmler made the first director/chief after he obtained control of it in April 1934) and later Müller was the Gestapo chief (1939-1945). The Gestapo did not wear German Army uniforms but in the east at times wore SS uniforms with the Sicherheitsdienst (SD) diamond id. on the sleeve. The Gestapo also used police detective ranks and generally did not wear uniforms (especially in the West and in Germany itself). -- [[User:JohnJustice|JohnJustice]] ([[User talk:JohnJustice|talk]]) 16:59, 22 February 2017 (EST)

::And it's probably safe to say the Gestspo would be virtually powerless investigating an SS officer, but may have been employed on occassion investigating Wehrmacht officers? [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|CIA vs Trump. Who's gonna win?]]</sup> 18:14, 22 February 2017 (EST)

:::I cannot think of a time they investigated an SS officer; but yes, they certainly could investigate Wehrmacht officers; working hand-in-hand with the SD. The Hauptamt SS-Gericht (SS Court Main Office) was the internal legal system for conducting investigations, trials, and punishment of SS and police members. -- [[User:JohnJustice|JohnJustice]] ([[User talk:JohnJustice|talk]]) 19:18, 22 February 2017 (EST)

I would suggest the first division in terms of a subheading would be to seperate out how the Gestapo operated in occupied contries. This will also aid in a chronological order how the organization evolved over time. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|CIA vs Trump.

:There was not any real difference in how they operated, just that the Gestapo members would wear the field grey SS uniform with the SD id. diamond on the sleeve, often times. And in the east, especially, the SS and police leader (SSPF or HSSPF) were appointed and given direct command authority for every SS and police unit in a given geographical region/area. -- [[User:JohnJustice|JohnJustice]] ([[User talk:JohnJustice|talk]]) 19:18, 22 February 2017 (EST)
