Secret State Police officers often visited concentration camps for a range of duties such as interrogating political prisoners, resistance members, and spies, conducting internal investigations, and coordinating with camp commandants regarding high-priority detainees.
Their authority gave them near-total control over the process. Once a person was arrested under the Directorate's jurisdiction, a single signed detention order was enough to send them directly to a camp, completely bypassing the courts.
The Directorate oversaw every step. The arrests, the interrogations, and the decisions of who would be imprisoned.
Yet, despite this power, access to the camps themselves was carefully regulated. Entry required explicit clearance, and not every officer was permitted to enter freely. Probationary officers, such as Julius, were strictly limited in where they could go.
