He was a chicken farmer who couldn’t stand the sight of blood.
Once when he visited an SS unit that was liquidating Jews, pre death camps, he was invited to witness the efficiency of his troops.
As the SS was shooting the people a few drops of blood splashed onto his pants and he nearly hurled on the spot.
The mass murderer couldn’t stomach a few drops of his victims blood.
Very interesting! So it was Hess who actually wrote Mein Kampf. He gets little credit for it; most people think Hitler wrote the book himself.
What a story about Himmler—it’s hard to imagine. There was quite a gulf between the NAZI ideal and the NAZI reality, wasn’t there? In Hitler’s inner circle, at least in some cases, loyalty must have trumped all else.
