Synopsis

This confidential Gestetner study of Nazi Germany's para-military National Socialist Motor Corps (Estimated wartime strength of 700,000 men) was compiled by Counter Intelligence in preparation for the occupation of Germany. This report illustrates what the Allies learned about this Nazi Party formation that could acquire any motor vehicle in occupied territory, and controlled car ownership in Germany proper. According to this report the NSDAP presented a counterintelligence problem and should not be under estimated.
Major units of the NSKK were formed by 1944, operating throughout Germany. There were two full brigades of the NSKK supporting the Luftwaffe; a Motorobergruppe Alpenland in the Austrian Alps; Motorobergruppe Mitte (middle) which operated in Berlin, Franconia, and the Lower Rhine; Motorobergruppe Nord (north) that covered Hamburg, Lower Saxony, the Baltic Sea and Schleswig-Holstein; Motorobergruppe Nordost (northeast) in Danzig, East Prussia, and Wartheland; Motorobergruppe Ost (east) for Leipzig, Lower and Upper Silesia; Motorobergruppe Süd (south) which served Bavaria and Hochland; Motorobergruppe Südwest (southwest) for the Rhine-Moselle, and Swabian regions; Motorobergruppe Südost (southeast) covering the Upper and Lower Danube, Sudetenland; and Motorobergruppe West (west) which was responsible for Hessen, Thuringia, and Westphalia. Moreover, there were also NSKK units assigned to Organisation Todt, operating in France, Italy and Russia.Historian Peter Longerich suggests that members of the NSKK along with the paramilitary police, the Waffen-SS, and the German Army were all culpable in varying degrees for large-scale arrests, torture, and mass executions.
