During the Nazi regime in Germany, all police forces were
centralised under the command of Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler.
The political police (Gestapo), the criminal police (Kripo), and
the security service (SD) were all brought together under the RSHA
umbrella in 1939, commanded by SS-General Reinhard Heydrich. Using
RSHA in Berlin as the centre, the web of Heydrich’s control
extended into every corner of Nazi-occupied Europe. British and
American intelligence agencies tried to get to grips with RSHA
departments at the end of the war, knowing who was who and what
they did, relying on what captured RSHA personnel told them along
with intercepted documentation. To provide Allied intelligence
officers in the field with accurate knowledge, the Counter
Intelligence War Room (CIWR) was established to provide this
information and list further Gestapo, Kripo, SD, and Abwehr
officials to be arrested and interrogated. The informative CIWR
reports used here give a precise examination of the RSHA by
department, some detailing how Nazi jealousies and rivalries were
more helpful to the Allied war effort than the Nazi cause - a
portrayal of how Nazi Intelligence agencies went wrong.
