Sommario/riassunto

This book, originally published in 1953, is a detailed account of Heinrich Himmler, one of the key figures in Nazi Germany. Authored by Willi Frischauer, it explores Himmler's life, his role in the growth of the SS, and his involvement in some of the most notorious aspects of the



Third Reich, including concentration camps and the Nazi resistance movement. The narrative follows Himmler's rise to power, his influence within the Nazi hierarchy, and his eventual capture and suicide at the end of World War II. Through interviews and historical accounts, the author aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of Himmler's actions and motivations. The book is intended for readers interested in World War II history, particularly those seeking to understand the mechanisms of Nazi leadership and the personal histories of its leaders.
