Quoted By:
>The Gestapo was overwhelmed with denunciations and most of its time was spent sorting out the credible from the less credible denunciations. Many of the local offices were understaffed and overworked, struggling with the paper load caused by so many denunciations.
>80% of all Gestapo investigations were started in response to information provided by denunciations by ordinary Germans.
>The Stasi employed one secret policeman for every 166 East Germans .. As ubiquitous as this was, the ratios swelled when informers were factored in: counting part-time informers, the Stasi had one agent per 6.5 people.
Remember this. The Prussian mindset of obedience and social conformity never went away. Zucht und Ordnung. They knew what was happening and don't believe for a moment they've been truly remorseful since. Give them an opportunity to do it again and they'll gleefully follow along.
