Biography

Early Life

Himmler was born into a conservative middle class catholic family in Bavaria. Joseph Gerhard Himmler was his father and Anna Maria Himmler was his mother. He began training with the Landshut Cadet Corps, since his father used his connections with the Royal Family to make him an Officer.

Career in the SS

Himmler joined the SS due to his peaking interest in German purity and the Jewish Question in 1925. He was involved in the Beer hall putsch, he was almost arrested for it, but the charges got dropped due to a lack of evidence. Himmler then abandoned Catholicism and became an atheist. He told Hitler of his vision to make Germany and the SS a pure force, which made Hitler appoint him as Reichsführer-SS, the leader of the SS.

World War 2

Himmler played an instrumental role in winning WW2 for Germany, as his SS was very large, and instrumental in keeping order and enforcing the Final Solution in the occupied territories of the new Reichkommisariats formed from Operation Barbarossa.

SS Coup

Himmler started the SS coup against Hitler whilst the chaos of the West Russian War was ongoing, In an act of possibly saving the nation from further strife and due to the West Russian War, Hitler offered him a fiefdom, the state of Burgundy in return for peace, and the split of the SS into the Deutsch-SS under Heydrich and the Burgundische-SS under Himmler and a promise to not intervene in Germany, which he accepted.

Trivia
