Splývání německé policie a SS na příkladu tajné státní policie v Protektorátu Čechy a Morava
The merging of the German and the SS on the example of the secret state police in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia

Summary/Abstract: The merging of the police and the SS on the example of the secret state police in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia The study analyses the process of the merging of the SS and the police using the example of the Gestapo serving in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, the aim of which was to create a “state protection force” fully committed to the Nazi regime. In order to understand the overall context, the most important decrees and orders that regulated the process of recruiting officials and employees of the secret state police into the ranks of the SS and straightening their ranks are presented. Their application in practice is then traced through the Gestapo’s Prague and Brno control offices. The study not only seeks to answer the question of the extent to which the Gestapo and the SS were merged in the Protectorate and how many SS officers served in the two offices mentioned, but also whether either office went further in the process of merging than the other.
