Hermann Goering creates the Gestapo?



Item # 634308

February 25, 1933

NEW YORK TIMES, February 25, 1933 

* Hermann Goring creates the Gestapo
* Secret police of Nazi Germany


The front page has a very interesting article (carrying over to page 5) which seems to be the creation of the Gestapo, the feared Nazi secret police. The ftpg. one column heads note: "HITLER ARMS NAZIS AS PRUSSIAN POLICE" "Order, Officially Denied Last Week, Bars Enrollment of Non-Nationalistic Citizens" "Press Curb Is Tightened" "State Employees Are Gagged--Minister Warns the South Resistance Is Futile".
The report notes its creation by Hermann Goering and includes in part: "...German people are bludgeoned into acceptance of National Socialist domination...authorizing the arming of Nazi storm troopers and Stahlhelm members and their use as 'auxiliary police'..." with much more. The hyperlink on the history of the Gestapo corroborates much of what is in the article (see).
Complete in 32 pages, light toning at the margins, nice condition.
