What si the diffrence between the SS and the gestapo?
The first answer is a little wrong too, since you asked for the difference of the SS and Gestapo, not the Waffen-SS and Gestapo. The Waffen SS were only part of a larger organization, as was the Gestapo. Here is a very broad, composite outline of the main departments that formed the SS. SS-Führungshauptamt (FHA): Organized arms & weapons & vehicles for the Waffen-SS, also training, wages, transport, geology, war archives, medical and dental services SS-Wirtschaft und Verwaltungshauptamt (WVHA) Provided rations, uniforms & equipment. Also included economic and administrative departments, industrial/agricultural projects, finances and oversaw the concentration camp system. SS-Reichssicherheitshauptamt (RSHA) Reich Central Security Office – responsible for the internal security of the Nazi empire. Included the Gestapo, the Kripo (criminal police), etc. – in other words the departments with the Nazi bullyboys, the sadists, the torturers, etc. Oversaw the administration of the Final Solutio
