German newspaper Die Welt scoop of Heinrich Himmler material

[Friedrich-Berthold]

See below.

Heini H. thingies found with large bang.


"Reichsführer SS" : Heinrich Himmler's missing letters surface - Nachrichten Geschichte - Himmler - DIE WELT

[Friedrich-Berthold]

That daffy smile and his diaries with his bibliography. The latter is already known, I think.

More of so and so with his Autokappe (as sold in the SS Kleiderkasse) auf grosser Fahrt...

Interesting reading I'm sure. Will any of this be published or shared? I would love to see the photos. Thanks for sharing this link F-B.

From the article:

"Die Welt" and "Die Welt am Sonntag" will start an eight-part series re-examining the life of Heinrich Himmler on Sunday. We will show many of the recently surfaced private photos and publish excerpts of the most interesting letters. The Israeli director Vanessa Lapa, whose father owns the private archive containing the documents, has based her documentary "Der Anständige" ("The Decent") on the new material about Himmler's private life. "Die Welt" financially supported the production of the documentary. It will premier at the "Berlinale" on the ninth of February.

The Longerich biography on Himmler really shines in its first few sections because of the letters and diary entries. It's a shame these letters were not available to him or some other scholar.

[Friedrich-Berthold]

Well said. Some other Himmler diaries exist in the U.S. and have long been used by scholars, and other letters also exist, as well.
All of this was more or less from the Gmund country house plundered by U.S. troops. Some of it made its way to Israel, where it has now emerged.
