A widely cited goof in "Patterns of Force" is that Kirk misspoke his order since the Gestapo were secret policemen and had no doctors in their organization. In reality, some Gestapo agents did have medical degrees (mostly those in high level administration positions or those involved in concentration camp medical experiments); however, there was no medical corps of the Gestapo with such persons cross assigned to the office of the SS Surgeon General which oversaw all medical personnel of the SS.

Yet not cited here and applying too much real world facts to a fictional universe. --Alan (talk) 00:27, December 13, 2019 (UTC)
