FirstRead
Most
of us know about the German armed police units in Occupied Europe,
but this book shows that there’s a lot more to be learnt.
The entire German Police Force was militarised under the Nazis, with Party membership a prime consideration, and there were a whole host of different units.
Apart from normal police functions some men were transferred into rifle battalions and used as infantry, and some of these were even converted willy-nilly into SS battalions.
This is a very good description of the different units, their organisations and functions, with good photographs and excellent colour plates.
