Butler, Rupert An Illustrated History of the Gestapo.
Osceola, WI Motorbooks International 1993 0879388013 / 9780879388010 Hardcover Very Good in Very Good dust jacket
240 pages, well illustrated, cloth, DJ, 7 by 10 inches, very good. From the dust jacket: "Within living memory of tens of thousands, the very mention of the Nazi Secret State Police is sufficient to evoke images of power and repression unparalleled in human history. An Illustrated History Of The Gestapo demonstrates in absorbing detail how the Geheime Staats Polizei evolved from its beginnings as a small department of the Prussian State Police under Hermann Goring to become a tangled bureaucracy of terror, operating from the most feared address in the Third Reich - 8 Prinz Albrechtstrasse. Within the Third Reich and ultimately the Nazi occupied countries, the Gestapo was controlled by the baleful firm of Heinrich Himmler, Reinhard Heydrich, and Heinrich Muller, vivid portraits of whom are drawn in this book. For his engrossing account, Rupert Butler has drawn on archives within Germany itself, unearthing original Gestapo documents. He has also consulted archives in Britain, Belgium, The Netherlands, and Czechoslovakia. One of the most engrossing chapters consists of interviews with survivors of Gestapo interrogation and torture, many of whom tell their remarkable stories for the first time. The twelve-year success of the Gestapo-it survives until the very death throes of the Third Reich -still points its potent moral; the very real danger of allowing those who should be tireless servants of the State to become its cruellest masters. " From Library Journal: "Journalist Butler has written a trivia-rich volume on what was possibly the most terrifying secret police bureaucracy the world has ever known: Nazi Germany's Secret State Police, or Gestapo. Butler bases his research on German archives and Gestapo documents. The bibliography, incorporating both primary and secondary sources, is sparse, though well chosen. Butler outlines the history of the Gestapo and its function throughout the war, and he concludes with 11 accounts of the lives of individuals who survived Gestapo interrogation and torture. Detailed portraits of the Gestapo leadership, e. G. , Heinrich Himmler, Ernst Kaltenbrunner, and Reinhard Heydrich, are accurately, if somewhat sensationally, treated. " EDG_117 ; 240 pages

BUTLER, RUPERT The Black Angels: A History of the Waffen-SS
New York St. Martin's Press, 1979 0600394298 / 9780600394297 Book Club (BCE/BOMC) Hard Cover Very Good in Good dust jacket
209 pages, 8 plates, cloth, dj, very good. Book Club edition. From the dj: In 1933 Heinrich Himmler assembled a group of superbly trained, fiercely loyal soldiers. Bound by an oath of 'obedience unto death' to Adolf Hitler, these men formed the Fuhrer's personal bodyguard--the Schutzstaffel, or SS. The SS grew quickly to become an instrument of Nazi terror. But as war approached, Himmler secured Hitler's approval to form a paramilitary branch of the protection squad--the Waffen-SS. During World War II, detachments of the Waffen-SS spearheaded triumphant military campaigns, supervised the concentration camps, and fought brutal rear-guard actions against partisans in the conquered territories. By the war's end, when the SS numbered over half a million, the runic flash of the double-S had become a symbol of terror throughout Europe for soldiers and civilians alike. Author Rupert Butler has sifted through a vast array of personal accounts, letters, official documents, and trial transcripts. The result is a dramatic chronicle of extraordinary bravery and hideous cruelty; a comprehensive view of the world's most terrible private army and its diabolical architects: Adolf Hitler and Heinrich Himmler.
