\"The Gestapo actually had a very hard time just keeping up with all the denunciations coming in from the German people; the vast majority of their time was apparently spent going through denunciations and accusations of German citizens sent in from other German citizens. \"\
\"\...the regime\'s dreaded enforcer \[the Gestapo\] would have been seriously hampered without a considerable degree of public co-operation. This behaviour has hitherto been largely ignored or not fully understood.\"\
\"\...denunciations from the population were the key link in the three-way interaction between the police, people, and policy in Nazi Germany.\"\
\"\...the Gestapo was to a large extent a reactive organization\...\"\
\"\...Its own observations or those of its agents initiated only 15 percent of all proceedings of the Düsseldorf Gestapo.\"\
