Beschreibung
Excerpts from the recently discovered correspondence of the Himmler couple, supplemented by entries from Heinrich Himmler's pocket calendar and from the diaries of his wife and daughter. Seemingly innocent letters have exceptional historical value and provide insight into the private life of the second man of the Third Reich. They reveal the unwavering conviction of a German couple who believe they are participating in a 'great time' and are unable to recognize that they are involved in great crimes. The letters portray Heinrich Himmler as a husband and father as well as a convinced anti-Semite and active Nazi. 'I am doing very well even with all this work.' Heinrich Himmler in July 1941 to Marze. Although these letters may occasionally sound ridiculous today, their seemingly petty-bourgeois normality must fundamentally evoke fear in us. From the foreword by Katrin Himmler and Michael Wildt.
