Personální politika Gestapa se zaměřením na složení pražské řídící úřadovny
The Gestapo‘s personnel policy with a focus on the composition of the Prague headquarters

Summary/Abstract: The study analyses the staffing of the Gestapo headquarters in Prague, which was the largest office of the Nazi secret police in Hitler’s Germany, by both the number of allocated positions and the actual number of employees. To understand the over- all context, the general personnel policy applied to the Gestapo is presented, includ- ing a description of the individual career paths. The differences between official and non-official staff are explained, as well as the categories of official (executive and ad- ministrative service) and non-official (clerical and criminal) staff. The development of the number of employees during the Second World War, the lack of qualified personnel and the reasons for the negligible number of Czech Germans in important positions in the Prague Gestapo are analysed. The study also tries to find an answer to the question of how effectively the Prague headquarters was able to combat the domestic resist- ance movement with the assigned number of employees.
