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.
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.
