Talk:Reichssicherheitsdienst

Merger Proposal
Oppose; the merger proposal that is linked herein above and open for (merger) discussion on the Sicherheitsdienst (SD) talk page. The SD and Reichssicherheitsdienst (RSD) are not the same at all. The RSD was an SS security force who guarded and protected Hitler (and a few other high-ranking Nazi leaders). They were SS and wore the SD sleeve patch but they were a different body. The SD was the Security Service that was an SS agency that became the Nazi state agency for intelligence. The articles clearly state those two are different units and how they were different.

Strong Oppose: Two totally and completely separate organizations. A good way to look at this from an American perspective would be to say merge FBI and CIA because they have similar letters. -OberRanks (talk) 18:35, 12 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Sorry, my mistake. Is there a way to make the difference clearer? I don't think is helpful to have the same images at the top of the article. They look just the same to me. --FJS15 (talk) 05:31, 13 May 2011 (UTC)


 * I tweaked the wording in the lede to be a little more definite. Kierzek (talk) 16:26, 13 May 2011 (UTC)


 * The introduction to this article states this organization is completely seperate from the Sicherheitsdienst, but the infobox on the right lists the Sicherheitsdienst as their parent organization. I don't know the history of either organisation so I have no idea which is correct, but they certainly can't both be right? TsukiToHoshiboshi (talk) 23:27, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
 * It is explained above and in the lede of the article. However, I tweaked the info box so there is no confusion for general readers. Cheers, Kierzek (talk) 02:42, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
