::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.

::::It should be kept in mind as the war advanced, and particularly after the July 20 plot, if a party member, SS officer, Wehrmacht officer, or Gestapo was executed for treasonous activities, again somebody would be appointed to fill that slot who continued he same function or office with another organization. The whole system was created theoretically as a check on loyalties, but in practice it kept being winnowed down to smaller and smaller internal cadres who could be trusted not just with the Fuhrer's personal security, but to see that his will and orders were carried out. By the end, it was the SD that performed this function. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|CIA vs Trump. Who's gonna win?]]</sup> 11:46, 23 February 2017 (EST)
