Heinrich Luitpold Himmler 7 October 190023 May 1945) was
the commander of the Schutzstaffel (SS) and one of the most
powerful men in Nazi Germany by being second in power to Adolf
Hitler in the Nazi hierarchy. As Reichsführer-SS he controlled
the SS and the Gestapo. As founder and officer-in-charge of the
Nazi concentration camps and the Einsatzgruppen death squads,
Himmler held final command responsibility for annihilating
"subhumans" who were deemed unworthy to live. Shortly
before the end of the war, he offered to surrender all of
"Germany" to the Allies if he was spared from
prosecution as a Nazi leader. Later in 1945, Himmler committed
suicide with cyanide when he became a captive of the British Army
after Germany had lost World War II.
During the Second World War the SS Death's Head Units were put in
charge of Germany's Concentration Camps. The SS also followed the
German Army into the Soviet Union where they had the
responsibility of murdering Jews, gypsies, communists and
partisans. By June 1944 the SS had over 800,000 members: Hitler's
Body Guard (200,000) Waffen (594,000) and Death Head Units
(24,000).
There was great competition between the SD (Sicherheitsdienst)
and the German military intelligence organization, Abwehr. In
June, 1944 Himmler took over Abwehr and after the July Plot the
organization was absorbed into the SD.
In 1944 Himmler was put in charge of the German Army facing the
advancing United States Army. In January, 1945, he was switched
to face the Red Army in the east. Unable to halt the decline in
fortunes of the German forces, Himmler became convinced that
Germany needed to seek peace with Britain and the United States.
When Adolf Hitler discovered on 28th April that Himmler had been
attempting to make contacting with the Allies, he ordered his
arrest.
In the east at sobibor it was only a handfull of German SS around
12 along with a few dozen Ukrianian guards that murdered over
250,000 in this one camp alone.
Most of the Nazi war criminals fled to The Middle East or to
South America and some were tooken up by Communist intelligence
and Western intelligence agencies
