The Secret Police of Nazi Germany were led by Hitler's friend Heinrich Himmler. Originally they were going to be used as body guards for Hitler, but then he relized they had an even bigger use. He used them to spy and report on people who oppsed him. He'd have them live as normal people, even spend years getting to know someone. When they finnally gained their trust they'd ask them, "What do you think about the government? Do you like Hitler?" Then they'd reply, "No I think he's leading us to a downfall, and he's cruel!" After they heard what they wanted to hear, they'd kill you on the spot. They'd even ask children, "Hey, what do mommy and daddy think about hitler?" The secret police were cruel heartless people who everyone feared. That is how Hitler used the Secret Police.
--- Yours Truly
Between about 1934 and 1936 Himmler and Heydrich and their assistants built up a vast, centally controlled terror apparatus. Opponents of the Nazis were held without trial, forced to do hard labour (on very indequate food), beaten, tortured and murdered. By 1936 terror was one of the main lobbies in Nazi Germany. Note that all this came before the actual Holocaust.
Hitler used the Gestapo to scare people into doing what he wanted. people were terrified of their brutal "interrogation" methods (torture) and Hitler exploited this fear.
