Nothing really. In any Dictatorship, there has to be control over the population to prevent someone trying to rise to power and influence the people. The Gestapo was a secret police that could spy on the citizens. They used fear and threat of imprisonment that resulted in people reporting on their neighbors or even their parents if they saw them doig something that was not allowed by the Nazi's.
