Description
Book Synopsis The Geheime Feldpolizei (Secret Field Police) was the political police force of the German Army during World War II. Its members were drawn from both the regular German police, including detectives, and various Nazi security organizations. The goals of the GFP were numerous and included protecting important political and military leaders; investigating black market activities as well as acts of sabotage and espionage; locating deserters; examining anti-German activists and hunting down partisans. While performing these duties, GFP members immersed themselves in criminal activities. This book focuses on the function of the GFP in Greece compared to that of the GFP elsewhere in Europe.
Trade Review"In short, an essential book to understand the sequences that lead the Germans to throw themselves into the arms of Nazism and thousands of them to get their hands dirty. It is also an essential work to understand the nature of law enforcement operations in a peripheral region of the conflict that is still marked by the consequences of the violent, merciless and humane struggle that has taken place there.[...] A must have in every good and well documented WWII library." - 3945km.com
