From his treatise "The Security Squadron as an Anti-Bolshevik Battle Organisation", (1936)
“
I know there are some people in Germany who become sick when they see these black uniforms, we understand the reason for this, and do not expect we shall be loved by all that number of people; those who come to fear us in any way or at any time must have a bad conscience towards the Fuhrer and the nation. For these persons we have established an organisation called the Security Service.
— Heinrich Himmler
