Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 6 Chapter 358: Bodyguards

After the military parade in Berlin, the security team around Xu Jun expanded again, to be precise, it should be restored to its due scale. When Hitler was in power, in addition to the head of state guard flag team, he also had two elite teams responsible for his security guard work when he participated in public activities or traveled.

One is the Imperial Security Group (d), which is affiliated to the Imperial Security General Administration, and the commander is Major General John Latten Huber.

d was originally born out of a police team in Bavaria. Most of the members are experienced criminal agents. Their duty is to protect the personal safety of the head of state during Hitler's activities around the clock while Hitler is in Bavaria. The work of this group was affirmed by Hitler, so when he extended the scope of d's power to the entire territory of Germany, the scope of defense was also extended to the entire Nazi leadership.

After 1937, all D members joined the SS. They wore ordinary SS uniforms when performing their tasks. The difference was that a diamond-shaped badge composed of the letters sd was sewn on the cuff.

In addition, these people also have the identity of the National Defense Forces. This was a very rare exception at the time. The headquarters granted them the same powers as the military police, allowing them to enter the military unit, and at the same time have the right to investigate, interrogate, and arrest any defense forces in active service soldier.

Usually when Hitler travels, d will check the route and all buildings and institutions along the road in advance. They have the right to mobilize the local Gestapo, investigate the rumors of assassination of the head of the market, find potential dangerous elements, arrest them and even execute them on the spot. .

d In addition to guarding the head of state, he is also responsible for the security of other high-ranking Nazis. As long as there are large-scale events infested by high-ranking Nazis, the black silhouettes of the members of d must be on the scene.

The security unit of the other head of state is called "Head of State Guard Command", abbreviated as fbk. This team is very old and was founded in 2020. It was originally an eight-member SS squad, and was responsible for serving as the leader's personal guard when Adolf Hitler was away.

At that time, the team's name was "Leader's SS Escort Team". After Hitler came to power, he was renamed "Head of State Escort Command". By 1940, the total number of the team had grown to 37. people.

Fbk is Hitler's most trusted personal bodyguard. He allows these people to carry pistols with them when they are around him.

To know that Hitler is suspicious by nature, and at the same time pays great attention to the concept of hierarchy, even Gorlin and Himmler must be disarmed before they can see.

The scope of fbk's responsibilities was originally very wide. For such a small unit, the workload seems to be a bit heavy. So when d appeared, most of the field work was taken over, so that fbk could concentrate on the personal guard work of the head of state.

At first, this unit only selected personnel from the old SS members, most of them were veterans who had participated in World War I, but after all, they were not spared by the years. In the mid-thirties, the old guys began to be powerless. So this unit began to absorb young and new blood. By the 40th year, the members were basically selected from the first armored division of the SS.

As mentioned earlier, fbk is responsible for personally guarding the safety of the head of state. This task is usually undertaken by a group of thirty-three people. These people are then divided into three eleven-person squadrons on rotation. The fbk members who were not selected into the guard group were given other "important" tasks. They became drivers, waiters, servants, and heralds near the head of state, and finally selected the remaining ones and sent them to The head of state lives in various places in Germany and acts as a security guard for empty houses.

In the plot that sent Hitler to death, D's performance was very doubtful. Himmler claimed that the unit had been infiltrated by Heidrich and John Latten Huber had been aerialized by the conspirator. This is obviously to reduce the responsibility of Major General Ratten Huber. I heard that the unlucky former Bavarian policeman and Himmler had a very good personal relationship.

However, Xu Jun didn't even think about letting Ratten Huber out, so the Major General SS was shot in the backyard of the Berlin Military Prison on the fourth day after Hitler's death.

Although there is no direct evidence to prove that member d participated in the conspiracy, there is also no evidence to clear their suspicions. Hitler's route in France and the movement of the guard flag team were top secrets, and the list of persons who had the right to obtain such information at the time did not include Reinhard Heidrich.

Moreover, instead of following the head of state as before, Ratten Huber stayed in a luxurious villa on the outskirts of Berlin. He claimed to have committed hemorrhoids. Hitler agreed to return to Berlin to recuperate, but he took The head's approval and the doctor's certificate will not be provided.

Regardless of whether the major general has committed hemorrhoids, Ratten Huber’s **** will never be clean. As for why he colluded with Heidrich, as all the parties died, this may have become a never-breakable Puzzles.

Xu Jun didn't have much interest in exploring this truth, anyway, it was all about issues of desire, ambition, power, and eternal interests.

When Hitler died, there were only a few d members beside him. Except for those killed on the spot, those who survived were also executed on the spot. In the next major cleansing, d bears the brunt, and became one of Hitler's burial items.

In the second month after the incident, the organization that once held tremendous power ceased to exist. All the members who remained at the Munich headquarters were arrested, detained in Stamheim prison, and used to use them as "dangerous elements." I tried all the means I had, and I was able to support the people's court. All of them could be regarded as iron-clad heroes. Then the judge sent them to the scaffold with full admiration.

A fbk eleven team that followed Hitler, as they said in the oath, fought for the heads to the last breath. Although they have undergone rigorous combat training, but under the opponent's overwhelming automatic firepower, the pk pistols in their hands alone cannot play a big role.

Commander Lieutenant Colonel Bruno used the death of the war to wash out the suspicions of him and fbk, but he could not get rid of the unit's subsequent political cleansing.

These people are all Hitler's diehards. Xu Jun was not prepared at all, and he didn't have the energy and time to carefully screen this army.

But for the sake of Himmler’s pleading, the original fbk was only disbanded, and the staff were all returned to their original unit. In addition, in the past few years, they have been under the supervision of the Gestapo. China, but so far, no one has shown dissatisfaction with the new head of state.

After Xu Jun came to power, the security work was basically carried out by the adjutant office around him. The personnel came from the SS and the Army Guard Battalion, and many people followed him at the Battle of Dunkirk. Xu Jun believed these soldiers quite.

However, when he returned to Germany, the guard task he carried was taken over by the newly formed head of state guard flag team. Although the members were all loyal, they lacked the experience of sniffing out danger compared with the d of the year.

In addition, Xu Jun's personal guard force also appeared weak, and there were so many affairs around him that he could not rely on Dougan and Randolph alone.

Therefore, Himmler enthusiastically put forward proposals to rebuild d and fbk. After repeated consideration, Xu Jun finally agreed with Himmler’s opinion and ordered the General Administration of Security and Odin’s Eye to take the lead and jointly shoulder the reconstruction of the two units. work.
