Maggiori informazioni sul libro
The Gestapo, Hitler's secret police, is often seen as a central element of the Nazi totalitarian state, focused on hunting down 'enemies of the people.' This book draws on previously unpublished Gestapo case files to present vivid and disturbing stories of both ordinary and extraordinary individuals who resisted the regime. It also explores the fates of their friends, neighbors, and relatives, many of whom were drawn into the Gestapo's network as informers or staff. The text uncovers the cold-blooded efficiency of Gestapo officers, revealing that while they lacked the manpower to monitor everyone, they effectively relied on public tip-offs. This reliance did not diminish their capacity for terror; instead, they ruthlessly targeted defined political and racial adversaries. The book provides a chilling glimpse into daily life under the Third Reich, shares powerful testimonies from victims of Nazi oppression, and highlights poignant life stories of those who opposed Hitler. It also presents new evidence from Gestapo files, challenges popular myths about the organization, and delves into the controversies surrounding its operations.
