STAATZ POLITZEI

KARL, the recent horror i ERFURT, kicked a couple of things up to y forebrain
and i have some questions i hope you can answer for me

when i was in germany in the 60s, i remember seeing german policemen in
some cities wearing dark blue uniforms and flat-topped leather helmets
as well as leather gear.

but, in other places, (around HANAU, MAINZ, and the city across the river,
FRANKFURT, etc, i remember seeing almost kelly green police VWs and VW buses,
and policemen wearing white caps, tan shirts, and almost kelly green uniforms
(well a bright green but not that bright!).

anyway, i kep thinking these latter police were called STAATZ POLITZEI and
were the same as our (USA) state police, ie, non federal and nom country or
municipal law enforcement.

i just cannt remember now who was who and what the difference s were.

(not BORDER POLICE)

anyway, i was getting ready to paint up some modern policemen and women to be
the patrol cops and SWAT cops for a colonial planet.

any help you can give would b appreciated.
