The Gestapo, or Geheime Staatspolizei, was the secret police of Nazi Germany, primarily focused on suppressing opposition to the regime and enforcing its policies. They operated mainly within Germany and occupied territories, targeting political dissidents, Jews, and other groups deemed undesirable. Their activities included surveillance, intimidation, arrests, and interrogations, often leading to imprisonment or deportation to concentration camps. The Gestapo's reach extended to various European countries during World War II, where they sought to eliminate resistance and enforce Nazi ideology.
