Serbian Gestapo (Serbian: Srpski Gestapo, Cyrillic: Српски Гестапо) officially 1st Belgrade Special Combat detachment was a special police unit which was established in World War II Serbia by the German Gestapo without the knowledge of Milan Nedić.
Famous quotes containing the words special, combat and/or detachment:
“We agree fully that the mother and unborn child demand special consideration. But so does the soldier and the man maimed in industry. Industrial conditions that are suitable for a stalwart, young, unmarried woman are certainly not equally suitable to the pregnant woman or the mother of young children. Yet “welfare” laws apply to all women alike. Such blanket legislation is as absurd as fixing industrial conditions for men on a basis of their all being wounded soldiers would be.”
—National Woman’s Party, quoted in Everyone Was Brave. As, ch. 8, by William L. O’Neill (1969)
“The combat ended for want of combatants.”
—Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)
“There is no detachment where there is no pain. And there is no pain endured without hatred or lying unless detachment is present too.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
