The sinister Gestapo planted its evil roots in the 1930s but it was during the horror of World War II that this notorious organisation became identified as the Nazi's leading instrument of repression.

As this brilliant book makes compellingly clear, the Gestapo grew enormously powerful during World War II, singling out opponents, real or imaginary, within the Reich and across the length and breadth of Europe. It sought out resistance - brutally suppressing it with torture and execution - filled the concentration camps with political opponents and ethnic 'undesirables' and actively sought to promote the Nazi state's perverse policies and quench its endless thirst to control.
