The Sicherheitsdienst des Reichsführers-SS, commonly called the SD, was an ideologically radical intelligence organization of the SS and Nazi Party. From its founding in 1931 through its dissolution in 1945, the SD gathered and assessed information about people and institutions the regime defined as enemies. Its reporting and personnel supported persecution, occupation policy, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and the Holocaust.
This 30-page fact sheet traces the SD’s development, leadership, authority, organization, personnel, recruitment, training, and institutional relationships. It covers domestic political intelligence, public-opinion reporting, foreign intelligence, ideological surveillance, cooperation with the Gestapo and Kripo, Einsatzgruppen, mass murder, Holocaust coordination, and postwar accountability. It also distinguishes the SD from the Gestapo, Kripo, Security Police, SS, and other organizations, even where their work intersected.
The game material presents eight occupational packages, including domestic and foreign intelligence officers, political analysts, regional officers, technical specialists, records staff, security liaisons, and logistics personnel. Each package defines limited benefits within a dated assignment. No affiliation grants universal authority, access, clearance, equipment, or immunity.
An assignment record ties each character to a specific year, location, office, supervisor, role, cover, credentials, and information access. Equipment rules distinguish documented objects from period-plausible claims and track custody. The book also guides groups in setting portrayal limits and keeping victims, survivors, witnesses, resisters, archivists, and prosecutors in view.
A dated institutional history from the SD’s founding through its dissolution and postwar judgment.
Coverage of domestic and foreign intelligence, ideological research, public-opinion reporting, and relationships with Nazi police institutions.
An account of the SD’s role in occupation, persecution, Einsatzgruppen, mass murder, and Holocaust coordination.
Eight historically bounded occupational packages for OSINT-6 characters.
Assignment records, equipment verification categories, and custody rules.
Research references, rules cross-references, and an index.
This supplement treats the SD as a perpetrator organization within the Nazi regime. Its guidance asks groups to agree on limits before play and to consider viewpoints beyond SD characters, including witnesses, resisters, displaced people, archivists, and prosecutors. The material can support campaigns about complicity, bureaucracy, concealment, rescue, investigation, and accountability.
The OSINT-6 Core Rulebook supplies the rules referenced here. Add the SS-SD Fact Sheet to your OSINT-6 reference shelf before preparing a campaign involving Nazi Germany or occupied Europe.
