Kriminalistik was the monthly German magazine for the collection of knowledge about criminality and the practical application of that knowledge.

Its pre-war publisher, Reinhard Heydrich, was the elected President of the International Criminal Police Commission (the equivalent of today’s Interpol) and arguably the most famous and respected policeman on earth.

The magazine was all business, without a single paragraph of “fluff”. Its contributors were famous policemen (like Dr. Werner Best and SS-General Arthur Nebe) as well as respected German and foreign criminologists, and its articles covered all the important police topics of the day - prostitution, murder, white slavery, forgery, finger printing, crime statistics, police tactics, poison, counterfeiting, etc.

There are features and articles in these magazines that include an introduction to the recorganized German police by SS-Gruppenführer and Chef der Sicherheitspolizei Reinhard Heydrich, the new state-of-the-art prison in Linz on the Danube (including the 3-room disinfection chamber which used “gas” and steam to sterilize the clothing and possessions of new prisoners while the prisoners went through the ,,Brausebad’’ or showers) with many photos, the nature and social history of the “gang” in the USA, Murder, Suicide or Accident?, the building of the German Kriminalpolizei by Reichskriminaldirektor and SS-General Arthur Nebe, Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler order regarding police in annxed Austria, work of the XIV International Criminal Police Commission, Hitler’s birthday, police photographic apparatus, cleaning unidentified dead bodies, counterfeiting, traffic accidents, murders, blood alcohol levels, new laws, ballistics, forensics, suicide, crime statistics from around the world, foreign police news, new books, problems with incarceration, finger printing, autopsies, murder motives, exposions, etc.
