The GPU was the intelligence service of the Soviet Union from February 6, 1922, to November 15, 1923. It had been formed from the original Soviet secrete service commonly known as Cheka, establish on December 5, 1917. It's first chief was Felix Dzerzhinsky, the former chief of the Cheka. In this Third Reich anti-Soviet propaganda pamphlet the GPU is described as the instrument of terror of the Jewish Bolshevism (Judobolschewismus) and accused of having murdered 1,860,000 human beings. Claiming not to propagate the usual hyperbole as is practiced by the Jewish Bolshevism it offers reports ofsome twenty eyewitnesses who have returned from the "Red Paradise." The reports inlcude an account of a German worker describing the mothods of undercover agents in the Russian population, an engineer reports of long lines or relatives in Leningrad prisons trying to find out whether their husband, son, or friend is still alive, often to find out that they have been sentenced to forced labor. A German technician reports of his incarceration the the grueling interrogations. He had waited four days to get his first interrogation only to find out that he was expected to confess to a particular, predetermined crime, in his case to confess to being a Trotzky supporter. When he refused, including the offered option to become a Soviet citizen, he was returned to his cell and waited close to two month forhis next interrogation. This time he was accused of espionage.
