Technically, the Gestapo was under the control of the SS after 1934, so the head was Heinrich Himmler, who was the worst of all Nazis in my opinion, and made Hitler look like a political moderate. Before 1934, Herman Goring, one of the least culpible Nazis was in charge and this led to a rivalry between the P.O.S. Himmler and the World War 1 hero and fighter pilot ace Goring. However, because of their fear of the S.A and its leader, Ernst Rohm, the made a truce and convinced Hitler to get rid of the SA leadership in what became known as the night of the long knives. After that the Gestapo became a branch of the SS under nominal control of Himmler, who appointed Reinhard Heydrich as the figurehead of the orginazation with Heinrich Muller running most of it's day to day operations. It is important to note that the gestapo was more of a security force, comprable to the CIA and KGB, and though some of the lower ranked commisioned officers were no doubt guilty of some horrible instances of war crimes, they were not part of pos Himmlerts roving death squads.
He was found guilty in two of the three indictments against him, 'waging aggressive war' and 'war crimes' and sentenced to 10 years imprisonment.
