Episode 209 - Labyrinth, Part I

Today is the first of a two-parter covering the General SS. The sub-section of the group covered a lot of the administrative activities, but also oversaw the efforts to merge the police forces of Germany into the organization. This would never be totally completed, but the closeness of the SS and law enforcement in Germany was such that they would be linked for most of the Third Reich's existence. On top of that, there was the SD lurking around offering yet another instrument of monitoring and control.    Bibliography for this episode:  Hohne, Heinz The Order of the Death's Head: The Story of Hitler's SS Penguin Books 2000 Weale, Adrian Army of Evil: A History of the SS Penguin Books 2010 Questions?
