Reichssicherheitsdienst
The Reichssicherheitsdienst (RSD, lit. "Reich security service") was an SS security force of Nazi Germany. Originally bodyguards for Adolf Hitler, it later provided men for the protection of other high-ranking leaders of the Nazi regime. The group, although similar in name, was completely separate from the Sicherheitsdienst (SD), which was the formal intelligence service for the SS, the Nazi Party and later Nazi Germany.

Le Reichssicherheitsdienst (RSD), ou Service de sécurité du Reich, était une force de sécurité du Troisième Reich, chargée de protéger Adolf Hitler, ainsi que, durant les dernières années du régime, les principaux dignitaires nazis. Ce service, bien qu'ayant un nom similaire, était distinct du Sicherheitsdienst (SD), le service de renseignements de la SS et du parti nazi. Le RSD était dirigé par le SS-Gruppenführer Johann Rattenhuber.
