How did the Gestapo operate? What were the day-to-day routines of Hitler's political police? What have historians written and rewritten on the subject since 1945? Join us for a discussion about the latest research on Hitler's secret police! In this episode, Chris and Ryan discuss Gerhard Paul's Continuity and Radicalization: Gestapo Station Würzburg. Paul provides a great overview and plenty of excuses to get into the detail about how political police functioned in Nazi Germany.
