The Politische Abteilung ("Political Department"), also called the "concentration camp Gestapo", was one of the five departments of a Nazi concentration camp set up by the Concentration Camps Inspectorate (CCI) to operate the camps. An outpost of both the Gestapo and the criminal police (Kripo), the political department evolved into the most important of the five. == Background == Theodor Eicke, was assigned by Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler to establish a system to run the concentration camps. Eicke drew up regulations for guards and for prisoners and set up five departments to oversee the camp. The five departments were: :Abteilung I: Command headquarters :Abteilung II: Political department :Abteilung III: Preventive detention camp :Abteilung IV: General administration :Abteilung V: Medical unit As of summer 1936, the Politische Abteilung was a compulsory part of the concentration camp command structure. Unlike the other departments, it was under not the Concentration Camps Inspectorate, but rather the local Gestapo office or after September 1939, Amt IV (Gestapo) of the Reichssicherheitshauptamt (RSHA). The department head and deputy were usually officers of the Gestapo or Kripo, or were members of the SD-SS. The other employees of the department were members of the Waffen-SS, technically also Gestapo officers, but as SS members, belonged to the ''Stabskompanie'', the company attached to the command headquarters and thus to the disciplinary authority of the commandant and adjutant. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Politische Abteilung」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
