Jména jako Klaus Barbie, Adolf Eichmann, Hermann Göring, Reinhard Heydrich, Heinrich Himmler a Ernst Kaltenbrunner nahánějí hrůzu jak bezúhonným občanům, tak těm, kteří bojovali proti Adolfu Hitlerovi. Tito muži byli představiteli Gestapa, nacistické státní policie. Z této knihy se dozvíte vše o Gestapu – o jeho vzniku, fungování a zločinech, které jeho členové spáchali. Za což po válce nakonec zaplatili. Příběh začíná nástupem Gestapa k moci bezprostředně po požáru Říšského sněmu, pokračuje nocí dlouhých nožů, terorem během Olympijských her v Berlíně v roce 1936 a jeho úlohou při posílání nevinných lidí do koncentračních táborů. Zaměřuje se na přední nacisty, včetně Adolfa Hitlera, a vysvětluje klíčovou úlohu, kterou Gestapo hrálo v mocenské struktuře Třetí říše. Tato ilustrovaná kniha není pro slabé povahy.
