  1. Moving forward: the police state Very quickly, Hitler placed his party at the heart of the government of the country. Key to this was setting up an effective police state. The regular police – the Ordnungspolizei (ORPO) – was put under the control of Himmler who already ran the SS (Hitler’s personal body guards). In 1933, the Gestapo (Secret State Police) was set up. The Gestapo used agents and informants to find and arrest anyone hostile to the Nazis government. Photograph courtesy of the Imperial War Museum, London.
