Gestapo became a part of the RSHA but kept its name. Heydrich was initially the head of the SD but later was head of the RSHA that he helped to develop. In 1944 the RSHA consisted of the following departments 'Personal, Ausbildung, Organistation' (led by Ehrlinger), 'Haushalt & Wirtschaft' (led by Spacil), the SD (led by Ohlendorf for German areas and Schellenberg for abroad), 'Verbrechersbekaempfung/Kripo' (led by Nebe), 'Gegnererforschofung/GEheime STaats POlizei' (by Mueller) and 'Weltanschauliche Forschung' (by Dittel). Gestapo and Kripo both form the Sicherheitspolizie (Sipo). The 'Einsatzgruppen' were directly placed under the head of the RSHA (first Heydrich and later Kaltenbrunner).
