Heinrich Himmler Commits Suicide - May 23, 1945

Heinrich Luitpold Himmler (1900 – 1945) was the head of SS and interior minister, from 1943, of the Nazi regime. He was one of the most powerful men in Nazi Germany. He oversaw all police and security forces, including the Gestapo.

As overseer of concentration camps, extermination camps, and Einsatzgruppen (task forces, often used as killing squads), Himmler coordinated the killing of millions of Jews, between 200,000 and 500,000 Roma, many prisoners of war, and possibly another three to four million Poles, communists, or other groups whom the Nazis deemed unworthy to live or simply 'in the way', which included homosexuals, those with physical and mental disabilities and members of the Confessing Church. Shortly before the end of the war, he offered to surrender to the Allies if he were spared from prosecution. After being arrested by British forces, he committed suicide before he could be questioned.

Himmler has been named Greatest Mass Murderer of All Time by German news magazine Der Spiegel.

After the Night of the Long Knives (1934), the SS organized and administered Germany’s regime of concentration camps and, after 1941, the extermination camps in Poland. The SS, through its intelligence arm, the Security Service (SD), dealt with Jews, Gypsies, communists and those persons of any other cultural, racial, political or religious affiliation deemed by the Nazis to be either Untermensch (sub-human) or in opposition to the regime, and placing them in concentration camps. Himmler opened the first of these camps at Dachau on 22 March 1933. He was the main architect of the Holocaust, using elements of mysticism and a fanatical belief in the racist Nazi ideology to justify the murder of millions of victims. Himmler had similar plans for the Poles.

On 4 October 1943, Himmler referred explicitly to the extermination of the Jewish people during a secret SS meeting in the city of Poznań (Posen).

This is something that is easily said: "The Jewish people will be exterminated",
says every Party member, "this is very obvious, it is in our program —
elimination of the Jews, extermination, a small matter."
Himmler was arrested by the Btitish army on 22 May 1945 and in captivity was soon recognized. Himmler was scheduled to stand trial with other German leaders as a war criminal at Nuremberg, but committed suicide in Lüneburg by potassium cyanide capsule before interrogation could begin. Several attempts to revive Himmler were unsuccessful. Shortly afterwards, Himmler’s body was buried in an unmarked grave on the Lüneburg Heath. The precise location of Himmler’s grave remains unknown.

  1. I'm reading Michael Breitman's "The Architect of Genocide: Himmler and The Final Solution"...very interesting! I've also started a new blog http://holokauston.wordpress.com to honor the memory of the 6 million+ Jewish victims of genocide during WWII.

  2. Reading a book on the life of Himmler and also on the peace negotiations that he had begun making with all the allies of Germany behind Hitler's back. It's a very interesting story, though lacking the details that make every book interesting. If I weren't doing a report on his life, I would have pus this book away a long time ago.

  4. You don't understand, he and whole nacism, or better to say - Hitler, was supported by money from U.S.A!

    Some of the main supporters:

    Rockefeller and Rothschild

    Why, because the high council, or club or people behind the scene or the guys around the table are playing "Risk". This is for them pure fun, pure experimenting and playing around.

    They don't have emotion, they don't care about people, positivity for humanity.

    They are controlled, they are blind, they are limited. They are just minions from other, even more occult, even more sinister force, which we can't see..

  5. Antony C. Sutton, is one of people who knew this in academic sociaety, but wasn't allowed to speak!

    NOT JUST THAT!

    Korean War, Wiatnamese War, 9/11, is the same thing.

    They want to control people, they want people to become sterile. To can't think, to play video games, to lose their "time" - retard people brain to that level (along religion, cultural, nacional issues) they will be obssesed, they will be angry, they will forget to breath slowly, to THINK!
