| 词汇 | gestapo |
| 词源 | Gestapo. Gestapo is a contraction formed from Geheime Staats Polizei, the nazi secret state police agency that was for- mally declared a criminal organization at the Nuremberg trials. Founded in 1933 by Hermann Göring, it came under Heinrich Himmler’s control as part of the S.S. the following year. The group’s ruthless methods of capture, torture, and extermina- tion, the fact that it was responsible for all concentration camps, and its exemption from any control by the courts made it the symbol for brutal, sadistic repression that it is today. |
