The Geheime Staatspolizei ([ɡəˈhaɪmə ˈʃtaːtspoliˌtsaɪ] ⓘ, lit. ''Secret State Police''), abbreviated Gestapo ([ɡəˈstaːpo] ⓘ),[3] was the official secret police of Nazi Germany and in German-occupied Europe.
Anytime I see them pictured at the height of their power, it always feels worthwhile to flash forward to the end of their personal journey:

They may seem invincible when they are in power, but they aren't invincible, and they aren't making good life choices, even for themselves.
Live by the mob of people whose might makes right and no one will stand against us or we'll fucking kill them, die a couple of years later hanging upside-down in a public square with people spitting on you. It's a pretty consistent rule. You would think they would notice the pattern after a while.
