A secret police force (the
concentration dictator Enabling German Gestapo history Kristallnacht medals million motorways persecuted political race radio schools shops Solution synagogues Versailles women ) was set up and was used to round up all suspected opponents of the regime. Suspects would be interrogated and tortured at Gestapo Headquarters in Berlin and then transferred to
concentration dictator Enabling German Gestapo history Kristallnacht medals million motorways persecuted political race radio schools shops Solution synagogues Versailles women camps. The idea behind the first concentration camps was to serve as "correction centres" for Nazi

The Nazis took over all
concentration dictator Enabling German Gestapo history Kristallnacht medals million motorways persecuted political race radio schools shops Solution synagogues Versailles women stations and all newspapers. They also took over what was taught in
