Just caught a bit of "The Gestapo" on the History Channel
Their job under Hitler: Dismantling resistance abroad. Draw up secret lists of those likely to cause trouble. They would be arrested and removed as soon as the military move began.

They arrested the former authorities from between 1934 and 1938 and everyone on the left, Communists, Social Democrats and Liberals alike.

Cleansing the new territories of any hint of opposition.

----

Initiating the war.
Gestapo disguised as Polish troops under cover of night attacked along the German Polish boundaries on the German side thereby justifying to the citizens going to war against the Polish.
----

Normal ID checks became an instrument of political oppression. Anyone who didn't fit the Gestapo's approved profile was arrested on the spot. Political protesters, so called parasites, the intelligencia and above the Jews were rounded up.

opening up there mail, and arresting them and holding them and telling them they have no rights finally makes sense.

2. Watch Nazi Series
Every one should watch the series about the Nazis on the History Channel. Bush is running parallel to every thing the Nazis did. There are too many things to list here so I reccommend you watch it.
