Hmmm, I think would agree with you, considering how the 1944 attempt to
overthrow the Nazi Government ended I'd say: yes, the Gestapo (and the SS) where a bunch of friendly chaps.
Like everything we humans do, amongst the horrors the Nazis did, they also did things worthy of admiration. Not that I am for them, as far as I am concerned we are better off without them. The scars they left on their own people (not to mention all they did to everybody else in those days) are still with us today, I remember talking to a German friend of mine (quite young, in those days, he must be in his mid 30s these days) a few years ago, he was complaining that in Germany nothing ever happened, I answered him "well you already had plenty happening", and he replied "Well yes, Adolf and all that" to which I answered "I was referring to the OTHER 1000 years of history".
