These uniforms were rarely worn after the war began, however, as Himmler ordered that the all-black uniforms be turned in for use by others.

The early military SS was kept quite separate from the regular SS and Dietrich introduced early regulations that the military SS answered directly to Hitler, and not Himmler, and for several months even ordered his troops to wear the black SS uniform without a swastika armband to separate the soldiers from other SS units once the black uniform had become common throughout Germany.

After the war began, Himmler ordered the uniforms to be turned in and many were then sent west to be used by Germanic-SS units such as the ones in Holland and Denmark.

Himmler then ordered, on November 15, 1943, that Romanies and " part-Romanies " were to be put “ on the same level as Jews and placed in concentration camps .”

Von Greim was ordered to get the Luftwaffe to attack the Soviet forces that had just reached Potsdamer Platz and to make sure Heinrich Himmler was punished for his treachery in making unauthorised contact with the Western Allies.

Hitler had Hermann Fegelein ( Himmler's SS representative at Hitler's HQ in Berlin ) shot, and ordered von Greim ( with Reitsch ) to fly to Dönitz's headquarters at Ploen and arrest Himmler.

SS-Sturmbannführer Georg Konrad Morgen, an SS judge from the SS Courts Office, prosecuted so many Nazi officers for individual violations that by April 1944, Himmler personally ordered him to restrain his cases.

Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler, who himself had only just escaped death too at the failed Bürgerbräukeller assassination attempt along with Chancellor Adolf Hitler, seized the opportunity and ordered in an enraged telephone conversation with his masquerading " Hauptmann Schämmel " to capture the two British SIS agents for interrogation of British involvement into the Bürgerbräukeller assassination attempt.

Following directives issued by Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler, Heydrich's successor, SS-Oberstgruppenführer Kurt Daluege, ordered mass arrests, executions and the obliteration of the villages of Lidice and Ležáky.

On the one hand, Kerrl was supposed to mediate between those Nazi leaders who hated religion ( for example Heinrich Himmler ) and the churches themselves and stress the religious aspect of the Nazi ideology.

In 1929, under new Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler, the SS codified its first uniform regulations: the signature black color was extended to breeches, boots, armband edges, and belt and crossbelt ; the shirt collar was edged in black-and-white twist cord except for those of senior leaders, which were trimmed in silver.

When appraised of the situation, SS-Chief Heinrich Himmler ordered Operation Harvest Festival ( Aktion Erntefest ), a pre-emptive security measure which involved the immediate liquidation of the three largest and several smaller Jewish labor camps in the Lublin District, including those at Maidanek, Trawnicki, and Poniatowa ; during the mass executions, which took place on the spot, some 43, 000 male and female prisoners had to be shot.

This guilt will fall not only on Hitler, Himmler, Göring, and their comrades but on you and me, your wife and mine, your children and mine, that woman crossing the street, and those children over there playing ball.

Himmler further conducted additional purges of the SS to include those deemed to be opportunists, alcoholics, homosexuals, or of uncertain racial status.

In addition, those Orpo police generals that undertook the duties of both Senior SS and Police Leader ( Höhere SS und Polizeiführer ) gained equivalent Waffen-SS ranks in August 1944 when Himmler was appointed Chef der Ersatzheeres ( Chief of Home Army ), because they had authority over the prisoner-of-war camps in their area.

Similar to his speech of two days earlier, Himmler clearly explained in the final speech of the day the nature of the Final Solution, its implications for those present, and its long-term significance for Germany.

Heinrich Himmler, head of the SS, with the support of Adolf Hitler, began a campaign in late 1940 to recruit those European fascists of sufficiently Aryan stock into a series of Legions, under the control of the Waffen-SS.

However, Goodrick-Clarke's comprehensive study finds little evidence of direct influence, except in the case of the highly idiosyncratic ancient-German mythos elaborated by the ' clairvoyant ' ( but in fact schizophrenic ) SS-Brigadeführer Karl Maria Wiligut, of which the practical consequences were, first, the incorporation of Wiligut's symbolism into the ceremonies of an elite circle within the SS ; and, secondly, the official censure of those occultists and runic magicians whom Wiligut stigmatised as heretics, which may have persuaded Heinrich Himmler to order the internment of several of them.

Heinrich Himmler, head of the SS, with the support of Adolf Hitler, began a campaign in late 1940 to recruit those European fascists of sufficiently Aryan stock into a series of Legions, under the control of the Waffen-SS.

His research attracted the attention of the Nazi government and in particular of Heinrich Himmler, who made him archaeologist in the SS.

Beginning on 20 April 1934, it was under the administration of SS national leader, Heinrich Himmler who in 1936 was appointed Chief of German Police ( Chef der Deutschen Polizei ) by Hitler.

In this, he ran into conflict with Heinrich Himmler, who was police chief of the second most powerful German state, Bavaria.

In this role, Himmler was still nominally subordinate to Frick, but the de facto power was now in the hands of Himmler, who as Reichsführer-SS, answered only to Hitler.

However Himmler, who had been appointed Chef der Deutschen Polizei ( Chief of German Police ) by Hitler, controlled the SS, the Gestapo, the Orpo ( uniformed police ) and all investigation units.

Heinrich was named after his godfather, Prince Heinrich of Bavaria of the royal family of Bavaria, who was tutored by Gebhard Himmler.

By this time Himmler, who had been under the care of his doctor since 18 February, had fled to a sanatorium at Hohenlychen.

Hitler, who had long believed Himmler was second only to Joseph Goebbels in loyalty — calling Himmler " der treue Heinrich " ( the loyal Heinrich )— flew into a rage about this apparent betrayal.

Himmler admitted who he was, and Selvester had the prisoner searched.

The fact that Himmler was Interior Minister only increased the power of Bormann, as the Gauleiters feared that Himmler, who was General Plenipotentiary for the Administration of the Reich, would curb their power and set up his higher SS and police leaders as their replacement.

50 stills from the filming in Krün near Mittenwald were later found and from these, surviving prisoners were able to identify 29 camp inmates who worked for Riefenstahl and were then deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau in the first weeks of March 1943 following Himmler ’ s December 1942 decree.

He attended the Yalta Conference with Stalin, who introduced him to U. S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt as " our Himmler ".

Acting on the advice of his associate Karl von Eberstein, who was von Osten's friend, Himmler interviewed Heydrich.

In the wake of the plot against Hitler's life by a group of regular military generals in July 1944, the Führer came to distrust his regular military, putting ever more trust in the SS, particularly Himmler, who had acted against the plotters and their families.

On April 20, 1934, ( as a prelude to the Night of the Long Knives ), Göring transferred the Gestapo to Himmler, who was also named chief of all German police forces outside Prussia ; two days later Himmler named Heydrich the head of the Gestapo.

Both the SD and the Gestapo were departments under Heydrich's control who answered to Himmler as both Chief of the German Police and Reichsfuhrer-SS, but the Kripo kept a level of independence as its structure was longer-established.

The Gestapo arrived in Celje on 16 April 1941 and were followed three days later by SS leader Heinrich Himmler, who inspected Stari pisker.

Himmler had at least one conversation with a known oppositionist when, in August 1943, the Prussian Finance Minister Johannes Popitz, who was involved in Goerdeler's network, came to see him and offered him the support of the opposition if he would make a move to displace Hitler and secure a negotiated end to the war.

It is possible that Himmler, who by late 1943 knew that the war was unwinnable, allowed the plot to go ahead in the knowledge that if it succeeded he would be Hitler's successor, and could then bring about a peace settlement.
