| Résumé: | Given existing research on the significance of Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler for Nazi security and population policies, the dearth of biographical works is surprising.1 Peter Longerich offers a solid biography of this evocative symbol of Nazi evil. Born in 1900 into an economically comfortable, conservative Catholic family, Himmler drifted into the Nazi movement in winter 1922/23, absorbing its völkisch, social Darwinist ideology in the paramilitary sub-culture of the Weimar Republic. Ernst Röhm, leader of the Nazi Party Assault Detachments (SA), brought Himmler into the movement; Gregor Strasser, Party Propaganda chief until 1932, mentored him politically. |
