The '''Reich Main Security Office''' (German: ''Reichssicherheitshauptamt'', ''RSHA''), was a subordinate organization of the [[Allgemeine SS]], nominally under the Ministry of the Interior, with headquarters in the Prinz-Albrecht-Straße 8, Berlin and c. 50,648 employees throughout [[Europe]] as of February 1944.

==History==
The RSHA was created by [[Reichsführer-SS]] [[Heinrich Himmler]] on 27 September 1939 through the merger of the ''[[Sicherheitsdienst]]'' (SD, or Security Service/Agency) and the ''Sicherheitspolizei'' (SiPo). The SiPo was composed of two sub-departments, the ''Geheime Staatspolizei'' ([[Gestapo]]; "Secret State Police") and the ''Kriminalpolizei'' (Kripo; "Criminal Police").

The organization's stated duty was to fight all "enemies of the Reich" within and outside the borders of the [[German Empire]].

Included within the rubric of "enemies" were [[Jews]], [[Gypsies]] and other "racially undesirables" as well as [[Communists]] and other secret organization members such as [[Freemasons]]; thus the RSHA coordinated activities among a number of different agencies with wide-ranging responsibilities.

The first director of the RSHA was SS-Obergruppenführer [[Reinhard Heydrich]], who led the organization until his assassination on 4 June 1942 in Prague. [[SS-Obergruppenführer]] Dr. [[Ernst Kaltenbrunner]] replaced him for the remainder of [[World War II]]. The director of the RSHA oversaw the [[Einsatzgruppen]] squads that followed the campaign forces of the German army into the eastern territories.
