Careless whispers: how the German public used and abused the Gestapo
The Gestapo was a very small organisation reliant on informers to denounce enemies of the regime, but jealous spouses and neighbours often used it to settle scores

(36,775 posts)The Gestapo came to realise investigating false allegations was wasting a great deal of its time. As a letter, dated August 1st, 1943, from the Ministry of Justice in Berlin put it: The denouncer is the biggest scoundrel in the whole country.

Lot's of Jews in Florida. Everyone of them will vote against him.
Both Republicans and Democrates and Independents...much too stupid to know what to know.
Appealing to the ......."Protesting Vote" is not as smart as "Appealing to the Jewish Vote"...when there
are hundreds of thousands of Jews in Florida.
And no one is trying to smear him......He has smeared himself, ...forever.......I guess to get the...
....Trump vote...Well, ....he figured wrong. He could speak out against Nazi protests, and single out
Nazis as opposed to protests. If I can figure that out, perhaps he can...:
....Much too insensitive to be a leader of any state, town or city......Calling out Nazis who protest...is not calling out
protests...it is calling out the Nazis.

Pried loose by Congress, which passed the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act three years ago, a long-hidden trove of once-classified CIA documents confirms one of the worst-kept secrets of the cold war--the CIA's use of an extensive Nazi spy network to wage a clandestine war on the Soviet Union and other leftist movements

Thats how a 1952 Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) assessment described Nazi ideologue Emil Augsburg, an officer at the infamous Wannsee Institute, the SS think tank involved in planning the Final Solution. Augsburgs SS unit performed special duties, a euphemism for exterminating Jews and other undesirables during the Second World War.
Although he was wanted in Poland for war crimes, Augsburg managed to ingratiate himself with the U.S. CIA, which employed him in the late 1940s as an expert on Soviet affairs. Recently released CIA records indicate that Augsburg was among a rogues gallery of Nazi war criminals recruited by U.S. intelligence agencies shortly after Germany surrendered to the Allies.

The real winners of the cold war were Nazi war criminals, many of whom were able to escape justice because the East and West became so rapidly focused after the war on challenging each other, says Eli Rosenbaum, director of the Justice Departments Office of Special Investigations and Americas chief Nazi hunter. Rosenbaum serves on a Clinton-appointed Interagency Working Group (IWG) committee of U.S. scholars, public officials, and former intelligence officers who helped prepare the CIA records for declassification.
Many Nazi criminals received light punishment, no punishment at all, or received compensation because Western spy agencies considered them useful assets in the cold war, the IWG team stated after releasing 18,000 pages of redacted CIA material. (More installments are pending.)
These are not just dry historical documents, insists former congresswoman Elizabeth Holtzman, a member of the panel examining the CIA files. As far as Holtzman is concerned, the CIA papers raise critical questions about American foreign policy and the origins of the cold war.
The decision to recruit Nazi operatives had a negative impact on U.S.-Soviet relations and set the stage for Washingtons tolerance of human rights abuses and other criminal acts in the name of anti-Communism. With that fateful sub-rosa embrace, the die was cast for a litany of antidemocratic CIA interventions around the world.
