Heinrich Himmler has a strong claim to be Adolf Hitler's most
powerful subordinate. He was certainly the main architect of the
Holocaust. Appointed Reichsfuhrer-SS in 1929 he built the SS into a
million strong paramilitary force and took control of the Nazi
concentration camps system. From 1943 he became Chief of German
Police and Minister of the Interior with command of the Gestapo as
well as the Einsatzgruppen, who committed appalling atrocities and
murder in occupied Eastern Europe and Russia. Despite his lack of
military experience in the closing stages of the War he was
appointed by Hitler as Commander of Army Group Vistula. Realising
the war was lost, Himmler attempted to open peace talks with the
Allies. Learning of this, Hitler dismissed him of all his posts in
April 1945. Detained and arrested by British forces, he committed
suicide on 22 May 1945. The wartime career of this cruel and
capable man is captured brilliantly with contemporary fully
captioned images in this Images of War series work.
