A comprehensive study of the lesser-known organizations that formed the heart of the Nazi police state in World War II Germany. The abbreviation âNazi,â the acronym âGestapo,â and the initials âSSâ have become resonant elements of our vocabulary. Less known is âSD,â and hardly anyone recognizes the combination âSipo and SD.â Although Sipo and SD formed the heart of the National Socialist police state, the phrase carries none of the ominous impact that it should. Although no single organization carries full responsibility for the evils of the Third Reich, the SS-police system was the executor of terrorism and âpopulation policyâ in the same way the military carried out the Reichâs imperialistic aggression. Within the police state, even the concentration camps could not rival the impact of Sipo and SD. It was the source not only of the âdesk murderersâ who administered terror and genocide by assigning victims to the camps, but also of the police executives for identification and arrest, and of the command and staff for a major instrument of execution, the Einsatzgruppen. Foundations of the Nazi Police State offers the narrative and analysis of the external struggle that created Sipo and SD. This book is the authorâs preface to his discussion of the internal evolution of these organizations in Hitlerâs Enforcers: The Gestapo and the SS Security Service in the Nazi Revolution. âA welcome addition to the literature on National Socialist Germany.â âAmerican Historical Review âSheds new light on Himmlerâs role in the complex web of the Nazi police state.â âPublishers Weekly â[The book] makes major changes in our understanding of the structure and functioning of the Nazi police state.â âCanadian Journal of History âThis is the first comprehensive study of how the Gestapo and all other detective police came to be united under the Sipo (Security Police) and tied to the SD (The Security Services of the Party and SS).â âEducational Book Review âThe work fills an important gap in the literature on the Third Reich.â âThe Historian
