Answer 2

Both before and during World War II, German citizens, but especially German Jews, were scared of the 'Brown-shirts' and also of the 'Gestapo' because both of these forces were focused on bringing everyone into line with Nazi policies. For the Jews, in particular, these groups were to be feared because they were more and more violent in their treatment of Jewish persons.

Answer 3

They make our gangs today look like pikers. The Gestapo were murders, tortured people, and had unlimited power. They were the secret police force under the control of Himmler who controlled all police units in Germany. The main purpose of them was to hunt out those who were a threat to Nazi Germany. They acted outside of the normal judicial process and had their own courts and the greatest weapon they had is fear because there was a perception that they were everywhere and you could trust no one. They had the power of arrest, interrogation, and incarceration. They were declared a criminal organization at Nuremberg trials.
