One black-and white photo shows Heinrich Himmler on an idyllic family outing, holding his wife's hand while his blond, pigtailed daughter is picking flowers. Others show the SS Nazi leader feeding a little fawn or taking a bath at Lake Tegernsee near his home in Bavaria.
The family-friendly, intimate scenes are part of a previously unseen collection of photos, recipe books and about 700 letters and notes believed to be written by Himmler, one of the Nazis most responsible for the Holocaust.
Excerpts from the collection appeared in seven full pages of the German paper Welt am Sonntag on Sunday. They contain large-sized images of Himmler surrounded by his family and excerpts from his love letters to wife Marga, calling her "my sweet, beloved little woman."

On 4 October 1943, during a secret meeting with top SS officials in the city of Posen and on 6 October 1943, in a speech to the party elitethe Gau and Reich leadersHimmler referred explicitly to the "extermination"
I also want to refer here very frankly to a very difficult matter. We can now very openly talk about this among ourselves, and yet we will never discuss this publicly. Just as we did not hesitate on 30 June 1934, to perform our duty as ordered and put comrades who had failed up against the wall and execute them, we also never spoke about it, nor will we ever speak about it. Let us thank God that we had within us enough self-evident fortitude never to discuss it among us, and we never talked about it. Every one of us was horrified, and yet every one clearly understood that we would do it next time, when the order is given and when it becomes necessary.
I am now referring to the evacuation of the Jews, to the extermination of the Jewish People. 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.' And then they turn up, the upstanding 80 million Germans, and each one has his decent Jew. They say the others are all swines, but this particular one is a splendid Jew. But none has observed it, endured it. Most of you here know what it means when 100 corpses lie next to each other, when there are 500 or when there are 1,000. To have endured this and at the same time to have remained a decent person with exceptions due to human weaknesses has made us tough, and is a glorious chapter that has not and will not be spoken of. Because we know how difficult it would be for us if we still had Jews as secret saboteurs, agitators and rabble-rousers in every city, what with the bombings, with the burden and with the hardships of the war. 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 ... [135][136]
Hitler's motivation for authorising Himmler's speeches was to ensure that all party leaders were made aware of these plans and actions. Thus, it would be impossible for them to later deny knowledge of the killings. Because the Allies had indicated that they were going to pursue criminal charges for German war crimes, Hitler tried to gain the loyalty and silence of his subordinates by making them all parties to the planned genocide.
Heinrich Himmler one of history's most fearsome, feared criminals, having facilitated one of the worst genocides in history.
Compare the two images, one, a black-clad leather demon, the other an effefminate looking gay pansy, his fishing rod points to a rare day off from catching much bigger fish, the dichotomy of images chilling in its portrayal.
I can’t recall which one but I have read that one of the top Nazi’s turned out to be a Russian or at least Communist spy.
Anyone know who it was?
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.
“He cheated his date with the hangman by taking cyanide, just like Goering.”
Goering...”The Happy Hun.” Yeah, right.
I had occasion to cross paths with the sons and daughters of these men (SS), in a very remote and unlikely corner of the world. Time and circumstance had brought them all together, where they would gather of an evening, fondly recalling their days as teenagers of the 3rd Reich. I was invited to one of their dinner parties. The old stories, Kierschwasser, and marching songs flowed freely around the table. It was in a word surreal. I still wake up in a cold sweat some nights recalling that dinner party. Yes, and Himmler was reportedly a very good dancer too.
bttt
It was Martin Bormann but he didn't work for the Communists. He worked for their bosses.
Don't ask me why. They just offend me. I guess I'd make a terrible historian.
Himmler was a great admirer of Islam

I once worked for a small company, a foundry, in Texas that was owned by a larger company in Montreal. This company in Montreal was founded by a NAZI who had escaped from Germany at the end of WWII to South America and who later emigrated to Canada. I was summoned to Montreal in 1980 on the pretense of an a$$ chewing by the obersturmfuhrer. After the a$$ chewing, they took me to a biergarten down town and we had a grand time drinking beer and singing German marching songs. I returned the favor a couple of years later when they visited my foundry in Texas and I took them to a biergarten in West, Texas during Oktoberfest.
Evil people come in every form imaginable, but they all serve the same master.
Satan.
However, the most notorious are those who achieved absolute power through the state. This is one of the primary lessons of history and it’s why every human, no matter their nationality, should limit their government.
I was there, I breathed what was in the air, it effected all of us.

What would YOU do in a situation like that? Would we really have shaken off the Nazi Tyranny?
Also Lets Not Forget Himmler and the Grand Mufti and their Bosnian Muslim SS Division Handschar.
He was caught by a British patrol and when identified bit on a cyanide capsule before they could open his mouth.
Wow. For Himmler, he says it with the detachment of, hey, kids. Guess what? I’m going to Disneyland. Kisses.
Our saving grace is a spark of rebellion that still burns brightly in the hearts of most conservatives.
Go forward merely a few days and he's ordered to disrobe. Having not complied the doctor ordere him once again to disrobe.
As the doctor approached him, he bit down on a cyanide capsule gidden underneath a back tooth, being dead within seven seconds. They tried reviving him but cyanide works too fast.
>What would YOU do in a situation like that? Would we really have shaken off the Nazi Tyranny?<
.
Fair question.
No one has bothered so far to shake off the tyranny here at home.
Everything is honky-dori because we love hope and change.
Completely detached. Complete sociopath. Completely evil.
