The '''BahnSchutzpolizei''' was a railway security force operating under the authority of the [[Ordnungspolizei]]. It was established in the 1960s during the early expansion of railway infrastructure connected to the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen.

The BahnSchutzpolizei was formed in [[Argentina]] during the 1960s, at a time when railway networks were being expanded to support transport operations linked to Tanoa. Its initial headquarters was located in [[Comodoro Rivadavia]], where it coordinated railway protection and logistical oversight.
The main command was based in [[Buenos Aires]], where most of the railway system it guarded was located. A smaller office in [[Georgetown]] kept contact with the central Ordnungspolizei command and passed orders between Georgetown and the BahnSchutzpolizei leadership in Argentina.


During the 1970s, as railway construction and resource transport on the island of [[Tanoa]] increased, the organization expanded its responsibilities. It gradually shifted its central command structure to [[Georgetown]], which became its main headquarters. From there, it supervised railway policing, cargo security, and station control across the controlled territories.
Most guards came from the railway system. Employees who had already been working at stations or depots were transferred into BahnSchutzpolizei service and given police training at the same time. They protected and patrolled railway locations and answered to BahnSchutzpolizei officers. The branch also kept its own permanent officers, who ran the command posts and carried out police work that was not tied to one railway site.

The BahnSchutzpolizei was responsible for:
 
* Protection of railway lines, bridges, and tunnels 
* Security of cargo shipments, including industrial materials 
* Monitoring of railway workers and transport personnel 
* Enforcement of railway regulations issued by the regime 
* Investigation of sabotage or disruptions to rail infrastructure

The organization functioned as a specialized railway division within the broader policing system. It maintained regional commands near major rail hubs and industrial corridors. Units were stationed along key transport routes, particularly those connected to mining, industrial, and administrative centers.
Railway employees transferred into the branch worked under BahnSchutzpolizei officers after completing police training. This allowed guards who already knew the railway system to remain at the places where they had worked before joining the branch.
 
== Prisoner transports and extrajudicial executions ==
 
After [[Eef Paap]] assumed leadership in 1980, the role of the BahnSchutzpolizei expanded beyond infrastructure security. From the 1980s onward, selected units became involved in covert prisoner transport operations in Argentina.
 
Prisoners were at times placed on specially designated trains under BahnSchutzpolizei supervision. These trains would divert onto purpose-built detour tracks in remote areas of [[Patagonia]]. The sidings were constructed to avoid interference with regular passenger and freight traffic, allowing normal railway operations to continue without delay.
 
At these isolated locations, detainees were executed without formal judicial procedure. The operations were classified internally as military security actions and were carried out in coordination with other branches of the regime’s security apparatus.
 
These activities formed part of a broader system of repression that intensified during the post-1980 consolidation period under Eef Paap’s control.
 
== Dissolution ==
 
The BahnSchutzpolizei ceased operations on 30 November 2024, following the collapse of the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen. Its remaining infrastructure and records were absorbed into post-regime administrative authorities.

The BahnSchutzpolizei was the railway police branch of the Ordnungspolizei from 1970 until 30 November 2024. It guarded the railway network and kept police at stations and other railway sites.[1]

History

[edit | edit source]

When Argentina was annexed in 1965, railway guards and security staff who already worked on the Argentine network remained at their posts under Tanoan control.[2] They continued this work until 1970, when Jan Paap formed the Ordnungspolizei and brought railway security into the new police structure. The existing guards were reorganized into the BahnSchutzpolizei, which became one of the original specialist branches of the Ordnungspolizei.[1]

The main command was based in Buenos Aires, where most of the railway system it guarded was located. A smaller office in Georgetown kept contact with the central Ordnungspolizei command and passed orders between Georgetown and the BahnSchutzpolizei leadership in Argentina.

Most guards came from the railway system. Employees who had already been working at stations or depots were transferred into BahnSchutzpolizei service and given police training at the same time. They protected and patrolled railway locations and answered to BahnSchutzpolizei officers. The branch also kept its own permanent officers, who ran the command posts and carried out police work that was not tied to one railway site.

The BahnSchutzpolizei remained active until the collapse of the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen on 30 November 2024. Argentina returned to its own government on the same day, and the BahnSchutzpolizei ceased to operate as part of the Ordnungspolizei.[3]

Organization

[edit | edit source]

The BahnSchutzpolizei was part of the Ordnungspolizei, but most of its daily work was directed from Buenos Aires.[1] Officers there assigned guards to railway sites and dealt with problems reported from the network. The Georgetown office did not replace the Buenos Aires command. It was used for contact with the senior Ordnungspolizei leadership.

Railway employees transferred into the branch worked under BahnSchutzpolizei officers after completing police training. This allowed guards who already knew the railway system to remain at the places where they had worked before joining the branch.
