World War Two
Published 27 Dec 2022The popular image of the Gestapo is as black leather-jacketed fiends whose spies keep the nation under constant surveillance. They are so powerful that the terrified population has no choice but to sell out its family and friends. But how true is this? Are all Germans living in fear of the Gestapo all the time?

Of course, the Third Reich possesses means of enforcing its will beyond the Gestapo. In their totalitarian state, Hitler and the Nazis can pull on almost every aspect of the state and society as a lever of coercion and control. Nonetheless while producing this episode, we were quite shocked to discover how little most Germans fear the secret police. In one postwar survey conducted in Cologne, over 50% of people will admit to having broken Nazi laws. Nonetheless, 75% will state that they had never been afraid of arrest or punishment. This got us thinking, for those of you who live in countries with a secret police force, how much do you fear them?
