: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)

::This then, I think is cause of Norwest's confusion. Pre-war and domestically, the Gestapo was made up of professional career civilian police investigstors; in the occupied territories local police were not absorbed into it, but in most cases worked alongside SS officers who filled slots in the Gestspo as the bureaucrcy expanded in newly seized terfitories.

:::Just thought I'd chime in here, but another issue that gave that impression, not just to me but likely to a lot of other folks - movies and TV shows like ''Hogan's Heroes'', which (thanks to their writers taking creative licence) depict the Gestapo as a paramilitary unit of sorts as well as the Nazi secret police unit.
