and less tux a year at,o completed a nine months' Kouvaissar Course at the
Senior SIR) School in SCRIM where he leUrned many details of the Orpnisatioti.-
and functions of the Gorman "Security" Police. kle has been employed in
Gestapo and Kripo in the Reich and. in Poland. Lately he has been in the -
political espionage branbh of 'SIR) . (Alat VI), in Poland, Greece ' and, fOr
brief periods, in the Reich and Turkey. He has' also come into contact with
SS and Police courts as a result of overeagerness and possibly misdeeds or
crimes. Purple:more he was employed, „for a few weeks, in the SIM Section,
dealing witb political prisoners. He &Ls, . th.trefore, had practical
experience in many or the 'branches of the iiiromier liachine described below.

all, of it, and poesiblyatlso beCeuse he hoped, by that beaes, te.prevent
•a Violent alteration of his ,neela, He has, however, not furnished all the. -
material in one sitting, nor has he been able to present independently .a •
clear, coherent picture of this vast and involved NAZI MachiherY. .-All the
material, and, particularly the tables of organisatinn in the appendix : haVe •
• been painstakingly checked by oft-repeated cross-e.xamination. These checks
*were subsequently' cross-checked by his own incoherent writing on varloias •
• subjects, Nothing is stated as fact about which MERZ is uncertain,' antia.poinles
not quite clear in his mind have been indicated, in cements,' He is, ,for.
•instance, not ferriliar with the details of several of' the divisions of RSHAA
On the other hand he is certain or two vital facts: (1) SIPO is the
generic term for the services which were hithe.rto considered to be covered
by tha title S.D. (ii) ALIT VI is the political eepionage centre for
foreign countries, NOT S,1),, though AMT VI is almost wholly composed of
former S.D. personnel.

Comments are made and other sourcds are quoted merely for confi.rnetion or
elucidation. Otherwise, the lenowledge cbteined from sources other than MEM
has not been included in this report, Much of the material may already be
known, but all has been included. to facilitate more thorough check an the

IS- 133. At present this system corprises SS, SI T0 and E.OHUPO with various
auxiliarf services, such as Fire Police, OD (uniformed penmueent ARP .
billetted in barracks) and LUFTSCHUTZ (ARP), The personnel of all these
Services is now subject to SS discipline and thus to HINCER. Since his
additional assumption of the office Of Minister of:the Interior, Germans'
expect hourly the incorporation of the entire remaining Civil Administration
- in the frame work of SS, thus making of HIMMLIER the direct chief of all
German Government employees, with exception of those in the armed forces, the
Foreign Office and a few minor ministries, with these exceptions all members
of Government organisations are subject to 'trial by SS courts dnd the •
• ordinary courts will soon lose their raison d'etre. HI:maces ni.cknarta' in SIP°
and SS circles has become "Reichsheini", his official title now is "Reichniinister
•des Innern, Reichsfqhrer der S und Chef der deutschen Poli.zei": The latter
cemprises •SME'0, SCHUPO andcaixiliary police . forcesi,

136, Long before he was raised to ReichSminister des Innern, KINZER
increased his personal power and influence by granting high SS ranks to.,
numerous leading persOnalities, especialkr ".Racial" Germans, in Austria,
• the Sudetenland, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Russia, Holland and Norway. in
all occupied countries. Similar high SS ranks were,beStawed uPon leading
Germans in the Reich, sportsmen, scientists, politicians and financiers. .
Many of the best Genaans were thus attracted to • the Nazi machine.
137. At the same time HIMILER .instituted the office of Hoherer SS und
• Polizeifiihrer (Senior SS and. Police Leader), incumbents, of these posts being
personally appointed by him and directly responsible to' him. These gentlemen
• seem to be only nominally attached to SS Haupttvat (HQ. s) ,in reality they
are HTIIMER's independent informers-in-chief on the activities of oll,
loading personalities in and out of public 'office, in the Reich and all
•occupied countries under German civil administration. All important inte.1/1.-
•gene° of SEPO and. SaHUPO goes not only to their respective headquarters but
simultaneously to these SS and Police Leaders, No major decision may be maao
by SIPO and SCHUPO branches without the approval of these' personal appointees

138. MEM, who has not yet reveeled the precise reasons for being
•
,
under a very heavy Nazi cloud, seems to have narrowly escaped a .lonstny
spell in v. concentration camp dr even liquido.tion, if bi& - impromptu ojacUlations
are to be believed. He blames his misfortune lAcel.y on these SS 'and

Originally intended only for disciplinary action inside SS and Police
(SCHUR) and SIP0). Since the incorporation of fire brigades and auxiliary
-serVices in SCHUPO, a,/arge proportion of the adult population, through
rmmbership in ARP, is now , subject to disciplinary action of these courts.
If now members of almost the entire civil administration may be judged by
.1:;:thoSe courts, their influence will vastly increa&e. SS and Police, Courts
ero,independentef civil courts and no appeal is possible from their judgment

,told that e. severe sentence by these courts seems inevitable.) SS and Police
Courts function also in* occupied territory under German civil administration,

Gau or for each Senior SS and Polio7.1 Load=. In occupied territory their work
'.4s taken over by SS and Polio° Leaders. An inseekteur is subject only to the
.direct order of the Senior SS and Police Loader ard reports to him on
SIFO activities in his Gnu. He is conaidered a specialist and covers a
- larger territory than an SS and Police leader, although both usually hold the
: same S. rank. Though both are under a Senior SS and Police Leader their
spheres of work seem to he en']iroly divorced from one another,

• services of SCHUPO, including Fire "Police", permanent uniformed and civilian
ARP). Functions, number and responsibility similar to SIPO inspectors.
(Note Inspekte-tr, with the stress on the last syllable, is more
high sounding to the German ear than Inspektor, with the stress on the

has been:a branch of SCHUPO for many years. Recently all fire fighting
services, regular and auxiliary, uniformed and civilian, have been incorporated!
in the SCHUPO and are now subject to discipline of SS and Police Courts. In

153.• Ore'Oruanisation. The v•s non-militzary Reich Security -so
woro reorganised by HI1. approximately two and a half years ago. (ticH ite -
by 1.0.: F. 11',YR and some of his accolytes, such as BLUME, referred more
vaguely to a r:,•rganisati..n about the same time.) HBULER chose SVO
(Sicherheitspolizoi), N'JT SD (Sicherheitsdienst) as the new pcneri.c terta
for all those security bodies.
154.. NOW Nomencalaturc. The formerly autonomous or semi-dependent
organisation, SD, STAPO (omva,o) and ERIE° (Krirainalpolizei.), were placed
under one Sichcrhoitszentmle, The Reichssicherheitshau (MIA. H.Q.
Imperial SePurity). HERA wP..s divided into seven bureaux, called !INTER.,
designated by Roraan numerals, viz. AlfT I, AliTII,Ala'III ctc. (Soo ;,ppendix
. C). Inside RSHI, the old names of SD. GESTAPO and KRIFO have since largely
given way to the new desivati.,ns, IiI, AND 111 arid AMI' V respectively.
•The C.O. of a bureau received the title of LISTSCIṂ11 , viz. lint schef I,
41mtschof II, etc. Each ;Jai was split up into divisicns,called REPHRLTE,
which received capital letters instead of numbers, viz. Reforat Reforat B,
Refcrat C, etc. The C.O. of a Refcrat was named Leiter des Referates ate.
or Reforatsloiter A, B, etc. The subdivision of a Rcfcrat was called
Lbtcilwig (Seotion) and was given Arabic numerals, viz. Abt. 1, Abt. 2, etc.
with an Abteilunpsloiter (0.C. Section) for each.
155. Vorwaltung-Exckutive. For work in general and for recruitment, traixt7
ing, and appropriate assign:Lent to posts on the staff, SIPO was divided into •
two min branches Ver,raltung (Administration), , including research and
planning, and Exelcutive (Execttive Branch • or fieldwork). Most of the
former is done at RSILI., the latter in branch offices, or individually, outside
(SEE . (e) and (f) below.
-156. Coupling of Functians of Senic.r Officials. The chief of SVO
became head of both the administrative and the executive branch, as well as
.chief of Staff of I, The chief of each bureau (AMT) likewise couples . the
function of administrative and executive head of his branch - of sno in RSHA.,
of the executive branches in tho Reich, and, indirectly only, in occupied
territory under Gena.....n , civil administration.'
•
(b) Aims and Functions of SIFO.
157. Originally SEPO, as its m.lac, Security lice, implies, aimed at
internal political and social security. _From this defensive civil policy -"
it soon went over toan offensive policy, in some cases assuming the
prerogatives of (zDefencet), especially throu3h SD omissr.ries abroad.
MERE knows of this change of policy only through hearsay and small. talk in
various SIPO offices where he worked. It has, huwever, come to his knowledge
that four ANT VI men wore to be sent to AFE112,a for military sabotage on a
largo railway tunnel. He has also learned of military plans of kla vi in
' connection with the hoped-for eolish volunt,eor anay which was to fht•tho
Russians. (Soo SVC Report No.6, Chapter G, para. 51,a, vi and vii).
Theoretically all military intelligence plans based on it, are to be
inmedie.te13r transmi.tted to.A.BW.R.

few changes since the reorganisation. sreo is officially divided into two
main branches, Vervialtung (Adrair.istratic.m) and Ezek-utivo (Excoutive.Branch),
- a matter of great concern 'to those who wish to make S.VO their ca.roor.•
Verwaltung includes research, investigation and plannint,I. The Exokutive -
translates into practice the results of Verwalt,ung. The division of fWctins

4:dual Controrfors'reo The chief of SIPO is directly responsible to MUERlet
all. .adminiatraticn, research and planning, and also trananits to him the
resu....s .cf .the anochtion of plans which have been reported. to RSILA
by the chicf.execUtive officers of 3.La30 in the Reich and in occupied terriroty
in Under German - In addition to these direct reports,
HIMMLER receives informati ..In on SIPO activities and intelligence from his
Senior SS and Police Leaders, (See : .Paras 137, , 142 1464 211 and 226)4
(Note by I.O.i For C:etails of SIPO appointments, titles:or ranks, honorary
SS ranks and their evalent values in the Army, see L (j)' and (K). To
avoid constant renetition, those titles and SS ranks and their translation
into army terms ate not given in the following paragraphs.' Frequently Army
Ranks are given to those people in reports'on their activitics.This is
misleading, as Pointed out below. Exalted 53 ranks go with senior appointments
in SIPO. They may as easily-be lost upon "relinquishment' of a post,
as in the caso of STRECKENBACH, cited below, who held an honorary SS rank
equivalent to a general of the army, but was transferred to active servicewith
a rank equivalent to a lieutenant....

transmitted by HOSSET.11aRTI-1 to ;al' VI. Also Stefan the Polish
Judas, was seat by ANT VI to litiSSZT.,,.Rrni to ascertain tIERZ's address in
Athens. The Sofia Pulizeiattache was asked to make arrangements for
• ItEn's journey to Turkey, as agent of ;an, VI. In Sofia, NEM was to
•receive money from this official, who must have funds available from or
for AM VI. This bureau has also a political espionage centre in Athens,
headed by H8SSEEZ.M1 (See SD,7,1 Report No.6, paras. 58 and 62-6). Ida' yl
is the only bureau of S120 which carries on foreign political espionage..
It seems, therefore; that ,these Police Attaches are chiefly in charge of

from the SIPO chief.

There are no Polizeiattaches in occupied ceuntries which have

His con, III; two courses II for men;- . one course I for women; one course
II for women.
-253. Currl'culun of Course III. at Senor Schools Much attentLon is
paid to general knowledge; esecfnially history. Physical training is one
. of the siinPortant subjects and efficiency in that field is one of the zhain
determining factors 'in proinotion. In general. Course III covers the some
ground as Courses' I and II, but more extensively and intensively and with -
more practical application. Vlore is thorough trdning in criminblogy
and Krindnalta.ktik-. „Every branch of crienology is treated in lectures
and demonstrationsiroecg:ure ,sc;.--tous crime cases, securing traces,

that the American."Secret Police" Wall dismissed with a vague: acknwle ent
of its existence because the Germans know little about it..
253. The Secret British Secret Service at German Senior Secret Police-
.
Some of the main points taught in HM I s course about the
. British Secret Service are worthy of „mention.' A brief history of this
model organisation was sketched. In some unexplained manner CROMWELLplayed
a largo role in its development. The nuraber of British agent in
• Europe before the war was estimated. by '.he Germans at approximately 2,000:
Thera have been and ,are British agents in ell large British business houses,
factories and other companies all over the world. Everz Englishman "keeps
his eyes arid ears open" 'while abroad and upon his return home repe'rts
everything unusual or worthy of alttentionle the Secret Service. The
organisation of this vast and successful. service Ins not described,
•litERZ's opinion again, as with the American system, because the, Ger mane .
have not' penetrated its secrets. ,

58• MEIRZ was asked whether he knew of any disa‘greements between
OW and SIPO or whether, to the best of his knowledge, the 'gentle:ma:11;5
agreement" was working satisfactorily. He claimed not to knowof any
trouble between these two organisations but '2 . ..ntioned jealousy between
Waffen SS and the Army in Russia, and, once more,- the tension between'
ANT IV and AM1' VI of SIPO. The latter has been discussed in paz'as.198
and 236.
(d) ABWEHR ASTS.
259.,• According ' to a lecturer at SIPO School, there is one AST inside
Germany for every VEHRKREISKOMMODO (District Command of the Armed Forces),
• or roughly one for every GAU. Each AST, froseits local .activities,
is assigned a foreign sphere, usually one geographically not far removed
.7 '

INXZC it. MIINVIER for instance, is the Ardaufestelle (Reporting Centre)
or HOLUM;
, .
(Note by"IZes It had been noticed previously that A319 agents retu7n_ing
to.Geroany from PRANCE would usually report first in STUTTGART, L.ke1,1,B2R
and oths.re.)
(a) ABW. iiiialSOBUTZ(Factox Guard.
When HERZ was last in Gemany, in October 194.3, it was generally
rumoured th.at‘ HIMMLER would incorporateein his system, and thus place.
'under SS court jurisdiction, most of the remaining independent polf.ce forces
.outside SCHUPO. The Frontier Guards had already been atacheCt. to .L.2 Vi ( tv)
• (STAP0). The fire brigades had .been incorporated'in sC,:120 a Hifspolizei-
_beamte (Auxiliary police officials) in the FeueriSschpollr...ei. ("Fire
• extinguishing police"). SEW and LUFTSCHUTZ (permanent and non-penmnent
ARP) had become part of SCHLTO. New also the guards of the state railways
and postal. services (Bahnpolizei and Postschutz' are to be attached to it.
• However, ABW still controls the WERKSCHUTZ (Works or Actory guards). \
This body existed before the war. It protects the entire armament industry,
• ,factoriee, works and-other establishments employed in production of essentials
for the armed forces. It keeps a careThl check of employees, especially
of the numerous foreigners, now working in these factories. At all
etitrancee to factories these guards control passes and identity cards. All
• 'gourds wear uniform, the colour and shape of which'deper.ds on the whim of \
•MOP the director of the factory who has to pay for th2 men and their clothing.
• . In cash factory there is a chief of WERKSCHUTZ, trolled Abwehrbeauftragter
des - Werkschutzes (ABW deputy for Works Guards) who is an employee of ABW.
2614 . Before admission td Werkschustz, the AST of the relevant CAU
requests the vetting of canadates by the local STAPO. JIM checked sthe
history and sk ii.ticai backgrbund of several of these men while at ST,TO,
HAMBURG. On the papers of candidates, Section WI (Wirtschaft) of ABW
must given as the authority for WERKSCHUTZ.

• ,bounds to German troops. In this cabaret he met the .ANP VI agent
TAPPENHECK, a Dutchman (SLY, Report No.6, p.8, para 64. b.), and two
Greek dancer-hostesses, for one of whom, "SUSIE", he delivered a letter
• to her sister in ISTANBUL (SI TE Report Ne65, Chapter C, end of pi7)
A German "civilian" watched HERZ closely. The Greekd.rls told HERZ later
tliat' this man had asked them v to report to him on two suspicious Swedes
who Were frequently in the Wintergarten. On the following e . ,y, at the
• end of September 194.3, Polizeiattacho H6SS1 T RAR2H told KURZ 4-:lat AST
