Yes, and Himmler was reportedly a very good dancer too.

And he could paint an entire apartment in one afternoon...TWO COATS!

LOL! The Producers II.

Thank you so much, dearest one, for those additions to this important thread.

NEVER AGAIN

An episode of “Nazi Hunters” on the Military Channel recently featured Himmler. He cheated his date with the hangman by taking cyanide, just like Goering.

Goering waited until the morning before he was to hang. According to the Wikipedia:

Unwanted by his former colleagues and hunted by the Allies, Himmler attempted to go into hiding. He had not made extensive preparations for this, but he had equipped himself with a forged paybook under the name of Sergeant Heinrich Hitzinger. With a small band of companions, he headed south on 11 May to Friedrichskoog, without a final destination in mind. They continued on to Neuhaus, where the group split up. Himmler and two aides were stopped at a checkpoint on 21 May and detained. Over the following two days he was moved around to several camps, and was brought to the British 31st Civilian Interrogation Camp near Lüneburg on 23 May. The duty officer, Captain Selvester, began a routine interrogation. Himmler admitted who he was, and Selvester had the prisoner searched. He was taken to the headquarters of the Second British Army in Lüneburg, where Doctor Wells conducted a medical exam. The doctor attempted to examine the inside of Himmler's mouth, but the prisoner was reluctant to open it and jerked his head away. Himmler then bit into a hidden cyanide pill and collapsed onto the floor. He was dead within fifteen minutes. Shortly afterward, Himmler's body was buried in an unmarked grave near Lüneburg. The precise location of the grave remains unknown.

Wow! They’re burning a swastika flag, is nothing sacred? /s

G-d bless Israel!

[onyx]

Aw, thank you so much.
I loved the DNA one, because that’s how I feel!
Somehow, I just “know” there’s some DNA in me somehow, somewhere!

Goering waited until the morning before he was to hang.
One theory was his wife passed it to him in their last kiss, another said the poison capsule was in a jar of ointment.

[maine-iac7]

looks pretty peaceful for someone who just died from cyanide...?

[jmacusa]

So you spent an evening drinking with Nazi. And you’re proud of this?

[certrtwngnut]

Himmler could paint the apartment and Hitler could hang the wallpaper in the hall.

[jmacusa]

“G-d bless Israel!’’<< Yeah. No one else will.

[jmacusa]

This little blond girl is his daughter Gudrun. She’s still alive.

Zee NAZI’s vern’t all bad. Zay vere only follovink orders. It vas zee order makers in Berlin who vere the bad ones.

Bormann has been alleged to have been a Soviet mole. He was merely a semi-competent yes-man, which is how he managed to get permission to try to flee to the west. He was killed apparently a random victim of the chaos, a photo of his skull can be found online. There is of course a bit of a conspiracy theory community which claims those aren’t his remains, that the eyewitness who identified the body lied, etc etc.

There is another story about a German who emerged from the Bunker after the fall of Berlin (or at least that part of Berlin), and stood in a trenchcoat, waiting for something. At some point a big Soviet auto was brought up, someone opened the door for him, he got in, and went into retirement in the USSR — but this story is based on a single eyewitness.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks lbryce.

...If the Jews were still part of the German nation, we would most likely arrive now at the state we were at in 1916 and 17...

So, Heinrich, how'd that strategy work out for ya?
