Heinrich Himmler — reconstructed from private papers and the archival record
True Himmler follows Heinrich Himmler from his Bavarian childhood and early political formation through his rise as Reichsführer-SS and his death in British custody in May 1945.
David Irving developed the biography over two decades using private letters, diaries, interviews, military records and archival collections. The book examines Himmler's family life, institutional power, relationship with Hitler, responsibility for persecution and mass murder, and attempts to negotiate with the Western Allies during the final collapse of the Third Reich.
