Adolf Hitler, believing that " the economy is something of secondary importance ", left the details of the economic National Socialist Programme out of Mein Kampf.

On one hand, it was next to impossible for them to overthrow Hitler and the party ; on the other, the Allied demand for an unconditional surrender meant no opportunity for a compromise peace, which left the people no option ( in their eyes ) other than continuing the military struggle.

Hitler declared that no drop of German blood would be lost or left behind to mingle with an " alien race ".

In the last days of the war, when it became clear that Hitler planned to die in Berlin, Himmler left his long-time superior to try to save himself.

Hitler ’ s imprisonment following the failed November 1923 " Beer Hall Putsch " left the party temporarily leaderless, and when the 27-year-old Goebbels joined the party in late 1924 the most important influence on his political development was Gregor Strasser, who became Nazi organizer in northern Germany in March 1924.

A furious Hitler then ordered Himmler to remove Baarová from Germany, and she was deported to Czechoslovakia, from where she later left for Italy.

For us, everything is lost now and the only way left for us is the one which Hitler chose.

Löwith also recalled that Heidegger " left no doubt about his faith in Hitler ", and stated that his support for National Socialism was in agreement with the essence of his philosophy.

After some thinking, Hitler left the army and accepted the invitation, joining in late September.

Rommel counselled Hitler to allow a full retreat to a defensible line but was denied, and on 9 March Rommel left Tunisia to be replaced by Jürgen von Arnim, who had to spread his forces over of northern Tunisia.

After intense discussions, Hitler left the assembly abruptly without giving his usual address.

Heinrich Himmler was the chief architect of the plan, and the German Nazi leader Adolf Hitler termed it " the final solution of the Jewish question " ().

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.

Also on that date, Hitler appointed Himmler chief of all German police outside Prussia.

On 17 June 1936 Hitler appointed Himmler as Chief of all German police and decreed the unification of all police forces.

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.

He answered to Heydrich ; Heydrich answered only to Himmler and Himmler 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.

Late in World War II, Hitler charged Himmler with the command of the Army Group Upper Rhine and the Army Group Vistula ; he failed to achieve his assigned objectives and Hitler replaced him in these posts.

As a member of Röhm's paramilitary unit, Himmler was involved in the Beer Hall Putsch — an unsuccessful attempt by Hitler and the NSDAP to seize power in Munich.

In September 1927, Himmler told Hitler of his vision to transform the SS into a loyal, powerful, racially-pure elite unit.

Convinced that Himmler was the man for the job, Hitler appointed him Deputy Reichsführer-SS, with the rank of SS-Oberführer.

By 1930 Himmler had persuaded Hitler to run the SS as a separate organisation, although it was still subordinate to the SA.

That same year, Hitler promoted Himmler to the rank of SS-Obergruppenführer, equal in rank to the senior SA commanders.

Also on that date, Hitler appointed Himmler chief of all German police outside Prussia.

Himmler and Heydrich wanted to extend the power of the SS ; thus, they urged Hitler to form a national police force overseen by the SS, to guard Nazi Germany against its many enemies at the time — real and imagined.

Frick acquiesced, and on 17 June 1936 Hitler appointed Himmler as Chief of German Police and decreed the unification of all police forces.

When Hitler and his army chiefs asked for a pretext for the invasion of Poland in 1939, Himmler, Heydrich, and Heinrich Müller masterminded and carried out a false flag project code-named Operation Himmler.

Authorised by Hitler and under the direction of Himmler and Heydrich, the Einsatzgruppen units — now repurposed as death squads — followed the Heer ( army ) into Poland, and by the end of 1939 they had murdered some 65, 000 intellectuals and other civilians.

Despite having direct access to Hitler, Heydrich's loyalty to Himmler remained firm.

Heydrich calculated the number of Jews to be killed at 11 million, and told the attendees that Hitler had placed Himmler in charge of the plan.
