As the war progressed, the Gestapo's violence escalated without limits. In the increasingly destroyed German cities, the terror against politically persecuted people and supposedly "deviant behavior" increased dramatically. Soviet forced laborers in particular were increasingly the victims of brutal repression and targeted executions.
How did this happen? What ideologies and mechanisms were behind this deadly radicalization? And what role did mobile Gestapo commandos play when the Reich was liberated by the Allies?
Dr. Markus Günnewig, director of the Steinwache Memorial, sheds light on this dark chapter of Nazi history and provides in-depth insights into the inhuman structures of the Gestapo in the final phase of the Second World War.
