1900–1945
Heinrich Himmler was one of the most powerful leaders of Nazi Germany and head of the SS. He played a central role in building the police state, concentration camp system and machinery of genocide during the Holocaust.
Simon Scarrow’s Blackout places Heinrich Himmler within a narrative shaped by family, marriage and personal loyalty and crime, espionage and covert power. Simon Scarrow’s Dead of Night places Heinrich Himmler within a narrative shaped by crime, espionage and covert power.
In non-fiction, Heinrich Himmler is discussed in Damien Lewis’s SAS Nazi Hunters and Damien Lewis’s SAS Band of Brothers. Damien Lewis’s SAS Nazi Hunters approaches the subject through social change and the pressures of ordinary life and military command and battlefield decision-making.
