Himmler's Involvement In Nazi Germany

In the beginning Adolf Hitler couldn 't run all of germany by himself so he elected officials to take charge while he was worrying about taking over the world. “Heinrich Himmler who was appointed Reichsfuhrer- SS in 1929 and from its very inception he saw the SS as an elite force, as an elite unit, the party 's "Praetorian Guard," with all SS personnel selected on the principles of racial purity and unconditional loyalty to the Nazi Party” (Holocaust Education). Himmler took his job very seriously, he took barely trained bodyguards and turned them into an elite force who was know as “Schutzstaffel or SS “. There was nothing that Himmler didn 't do that impress the fuhrer,”Thanks to his control of the police Himmler was able to build up the concentration camps, in order to provide “protective custody” for political suspects.” Since Hitler and Himmler were

Heydrich slowly rose to power with his strong determination and ruthlessness. He first joined the Nazi party with an organization of elites who were only selected for their racial attributes. He started out as an intelligence collector for an organization known as the SS (Security Service). He worked day in and day out to recover lost intelligence and gain more about the enemy. With his hard work, he eventually organized a big network of spies who wrote down anything on anyone who might pose a threat to Hitler. Heydrich’s persistence pushed him high up the ranks of the SS until he was finally appointed SS Brigadier General, one of the very few generals younger than 30. He was now the main commander of the SS (Curry).

However, the SA contained at one point a few million members, with some who were against Hitler’s rule. Thus, Hitler decided to establish the Schutzstaffel, or SS. Led by Heinrich Himmler, the SS was a black uniformed group used for intimidation or terror. The SS was much smaller than the SA, as it was an elite bodyguard unit. The SS used instruments of repression and murder to carry out their goal, whatever it may be as assigned by Hitler (Growing Fascism in Germany Lecture Notes, February 15, 2017).

In order to grow more popular the National Socialist German Workers Party had to get the support of other groups who were also influential at the time in Germany. In 1930 The Nationalist German Workers Party had gained the support of many wealthy individuals and the entire military order members. By 1933 the Nazis had even gotten closer and had made connections with the President of Germany, who at the time was Paul von Hindenburg. This led to Hitler receiving titles such as the Personal Commander of the Army, Supreme War Lord, and later Chancellor of Germany (“Adolf Hitler”). While Hitler was gaining titles and prestige, he also had to make sure that the party he had worked so hard to build would not fall down, under any circumstances.

When you hear the words “World War Two,” you may immediately think of the powerful Nazi leader, Adolf Hitler. However, there was a lesser known Adolf during that time, and his last name was Eichmann. Nevertheless, he was just as malevolent as Hitler. You may be asking yourself, “who is Adolf Eichmann?” Adolf Eichmann was one of the world's most notorious Nazis during WWII, and to understand this you will see how he was first introduced to the Nazi party, the plans he conducted during the war, where he escaped to postwar, who tracked him down and caught him, his time in captivity, the return plan, how his glory days came to an end in the Eichmann trial, and how the world reacted to the mayhem he brought about.

He was an idol to the nazis and the nazi regime the nazis were in my eyes one of the most elite armies it had been a very well regulated and very strict as well. But the Gestapo they put a whole new type of terror into this world probably how world terror was brought to the surface. The Gestapo was not a care for the civilian type of organization they wanted to know as much as they could about the resistance fighters and the allied forces so that they could find ways for the axis to beat the allied forces. When Himmler started working with the gestapo he was in my eyes the most sick, twisted, and evil mother trucker that had lead the gestapo to further achievements. The Gestapo was one of the best if not the best at what their type of business. It was astounding to me to hear they would drag civilians out of their beds while they were sleeping take the somewhere unknown to civilians and interrogate the for information. The information was considered dire to the nazi cause it helped find out when and where an enemy strike would be and how to counter it. The Gestapo were not they play fair kind of people nor were the nazis but the gestapo was a lot

The Schutzstaffel, better known as the infamous SS, were established by Hitler, to act as protection force at Hitler’s mass meetings in public. Many of these meetings were violent and ugly, during the Nazis early quest for power. As such it formed part of the Nazi militia, the brown shirted Sturmabteilung, also better known by the initials SA. Unlike the SA, however, whose origins derived from the nationalist Freikorps of the post – Great War period, the SS owed its loyalties to Hitler alone and was neither conceived as, nor permitted to become a mass movement.

The Schutzstaffel was an elite paramilitary unit that was formed in 1925 by Adolf Hitler to serve as a personal bodyguard unit during the interwar period. The insignia for the Schutzstaffel is SS. After many commanders of the SS, Heinrich Himmler was later appointed as the commander of the Schutzstaffel.

<br>Hitler regained control of the Nazi Party upon his release in December 1924. From 1925 to 1930 Hitler built a network of local parties over most of Germany. He also organized the Schutzstaffel or the "SS", a group that performed police tasks. They carried out violent acts against Hitler's enemies. Unemployed young men who joined Hitler's groups were given food, shelter, uniforms and a sense of purpose.

When one thinks of the most evil and powerful person through history, one often thinks of Adolf Hitler. However, most of the feats accomplished by Hitler would have been impossible without the help of his lesser known right-hand man, Heinrich Himmler. Deemed “the second most powerful man in Germany during World War II” (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum), he helped Hitler carry out his brutal genocide of the Jewish religion. Heinrich Himmler played an extremely important role in the Holocaust.

The SS and the Gestapo police helped Hitler the most to get control over the parliament because they found and killed senior officials of the opposition parties and also assassinate certain high ranking officials in the SS so that Hitler can keep control over the SS and Gestapo. Hitler also made propaganda to sell the idea that he was a great leader and is going to bring Germany out of disgrace after World War 1 and the great depression with the help Joseph Goebbels Hitler’s propaganda leader. The Gestapo and SS are a secret police force that Hitler made in the early 1933 and they helped him to stay in power and arrest anyone else that tried to stop him and compromise his role as president of Germany. During the years leading up to World War 2 while the Nazis were in power they controlled the education of children to study war tactics and Nazi theology, they also made the schools more disciplined. Hitler had no opposing political groups because he had changed the laws in his favour so that Hitler could dictate the German people. Hitler used most of the National Guard and turned most of Germany into a militarised country so that there would be no civil opposition like ryots and political disturbances throughout the time that Hitler was in control over Germany. The main job that storm troopers did was exterminating Jewish people in Germany and small towns that they took over when the war started. http://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/higher/history/nationalism/nazi/revision/5/ [Accessed 22 Jul. 2015].

Four years after the unit was formed, the SS was put in the hands of Heinrich Himmler, a racist extremist who was a very good friend of Hitler. The years of his management were a big time of change for the group, since it increased from 300 members to 50000. Each member had to have Aryan characteristics (tall, blonde hair and blue eyes), physical perfection and racial purity. Their symbol consisted of two Ss in the shape of lightning bolts with skulls and silver daggers around them. This made the members feel superior to the average Storm Troopers of the SA (Sturmabteilung) to which they were inferior to in the first place.

The system would grow during the wartime and become an instrument to murder millions of Jews, gypsies, negroes, and any impure person polluting the Aryan race. Himmler and the SS eliminated the SA, an opposing German police force, which led Hitler to appoint Himmler as the Reichsfuhrer, giving him total control over the SS and all of Germany’s police

The most dynamic segment of the Nazi movements before it came to power was Sturmabteilung (SA) or Brown Shirts which protected Hitler’s political meetings from the attacks by rivals (Campbell 659). SA functioned as a paramilitary wing of the Nazi party during the raise of Hitler in 1920s and 1930s. Their name “Brown Shirts” came after the uniform that they used which was inspired by the Mussolini’s Black Shirts, and their main duty was to eliminate all the enemies and coordinated allies once the Nazis were in the control of the German state, 1933. SA was consisted by Freikorps, post-World War One nationalist and people who opposed the Versailles treaty while the Nazi Party or NSDAP was created from German people which
