World War II German Police Units by Gordon Williamson

World War II German Police Units by Gordon Williamson

A concise introduction to the organization, responsibilities, uniforms, and insignia of the German Police under the Nazi regime. Following Adolf Hitler's rise to power, the previously decentralized provincial police system was unified into a single state apparatus, integrated at the command levels with the SS. Despite central control, the police were divided into a complex array of departments and functions, each with its own uniform distinctions. The book explores the roles and appearances of various branches, including Police Generals, rural constables, transport policemen, and factory watchmen.
