” ... led by Nazi Hermann Goring ...”
Interesting and unfortunate that Paul Bedard would put forth an so inaccurate and ignorant article.
When the Nazis came to power in 1933, Hermann Göring, then Prussian minister of the interior, detached the political and espionage units from the regular Prussian police, filled their ranks with thousands of Nazis, and, on April 26, 1933, reorganized them under his personal command as the Gestapo.
