From 1936 onwards, the Gestapo was entirely subordinate to the SS, as were most of the police organizations in Germany. There was no rivalry between it and the SS, nor with the Wehrmacht.

The Gestapo becoming subordinate to the SS was the result of said rivalry, so it's odd to present that as evidence that there was no rivalry.

The Gestapo was born of rivalry between the SS and the SA. The Gestapo WAS the police arm of the SS, just as the SD was a part of the SS.
