The word Gestapo still conjures up the overpowering images of horror and dread that it aroused in Europe before and during the Second World War and at Nuremberg when the truth of its terrible tortures, massacres and attempts at genocide was revealed. But what went on within the organisation itself? Here, Edward Crankshaw provides an authoritative study of the structure of the Gestapo, of its bitter rivalries with other police and service organisations, of its struggle for power, and of its leading personalities. He traces, too, how the Gestapo grew as an instrument of the Nazi police state under Himmler, who also controlled the SS; it ran side by side with the intelligence service, the SD, under Himmler's deputy Heydrich. The Gestapo grew even more powerful on the outbreak of war, as its tentacles spread all over the Occupied countries, using agents and local collaborators to undermine native resistance, using torture and death mercilessly to deter civilian populations from rising against their conquerors, and filling the concentration camps with fodder for mass extermination policies. Crankshaw details the known crimes of the Gestapo, showing its underlying responsibility in incidents of horrific dimensions where the chain of culpability has remained unclear. At Nuremberg the Gestapo was indicted as a criminal organisation, and its leaders war criminals. Edward Crankshaw, who in World War II was attached to the British Military Mission in Moscow, and afterwards, for over twenty years, was the highly regarded Correspondent on Soviet Affairs for the London Observer, examines in this valuable study the whole question of the Nazis' responsibility for crimes against humanity: was Nazi oppression a unique occurrence, or could such events happen again either in Germany or elsewhere? Gestapo: Instrument of Tyranny is a serious and comprehensive study of the development and use of evil in society, a sober revelation of the past and a warning for the future.…
