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, , , • • • ae• . , 4 • • 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.

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.
