If you don't know who the Geheime Staatspolizei were let me direct you to this : Gestapo

Do you know who they were now?

If you still cannot figure this out let me point out you have somehow obtained a poorly lacking education, beyond even watching the History Channel on one of their regular World War Two days.  For several months it seemed the History Channel was All Hitler, All the Time.  Those shows seemed to be specializing on his Schutzstaffel or SS in excess to all else, for awhile.  To the point that many blog from both the left, right and center came up with that name above, All Hitler, All The Time or The Hitler Channel.

And Gestapo was a subset of the SS.

Now the SS was actually created as a small part of Sturmabteilung or SA.  What were called the original "Stormtroopers".  Their job was bully boys who would beat down anyone who got in the way or the Party Leadership thought was getting too big for their britches.  The "Brownshirts" wore surplus military shirts issued to them by the "Party".  Their original purpose was as the "Bouncers" of the party to throw out the wrong kind of troublemakers and back up the right ones.  Did you catch that?

The SA were used to beat up the political enemies of their party leadership and to stir up trouble.  Make themselves look both strong and imposing and by extension their party look that way as well.

The SA were the strong arm of The Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei or NSDAP or as it has become know throughout the world as the NAZI party.

By now you are either thinking "Yeah, so what?" and leaving the page or you are thinking, "Where is he going with this?"
