Best Answer

The Gestapo were like the upper ranks in a police department and were enforcers of the Nazi laws.
The SS was entrusted with the commission of atrocities, illegal activities, and war crimes. The SS oversaw the isolation and displacement of Jews from the populations of the conquered territories, seizing their assets and deporting them to concentration camps and ghettos, where they were used as slave labor or immediately killed.

Was Germany's growing Jewish population a reason for their extermination by Hitler?

That sounds a very unlikely explanation. Large numbers of Jews left Germany in the years after the Nazis came to power in 1933. In fact, until August 1941 Nazi policy in respect of the German Jews was to bully them into emigrating. I'd add that the birthrate among German Jews fell sharply in the 1930s.


What does ss in SS Gestapo mean?

Schutzstaffel- roughly protective staff or units. The Waffen-SS was in effect the fourth branch of the German armed forces, alongside the Army ( Heer), Navy ( Kriegsmarine) and Luftwaffe ( Air Force) the Nazis did not have a Marine corps or specific amphibious assault troops, by the way.AnswerThere was no such term as 'SS-Gestapo'. The Gestapo was one of the Nazi's secret police organisations which, like all German police organisations, came under the control of the SS. Membership of the Gestapo did not necessarily mean membership of the SS.
