[Personal Correspondence of Heinrich Himmler] 

1 electronic resource (74 pages) 

The file contains correspondence either written as a response by Heinrich Himmler or subordinates to letters addressed to him by SS personnel, Nazi party members, among them Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop, Werner von Blomberg, personal asscociates like Felix Kersten regarding a wide variety of topics. Among them a range of personal letters addressed to Himmler himself and reports from different SS formations and organizations. One report deals with the shortage of apartments for SS personnel and plans for new constructions, which Himmler faults as being to small, due to the SS personnels ideologically required efforts to produce a multitude of offspring. Additionally, the file covers the severe infighting and bickering between Germanys highest ranking Nazis, especially between Germanys Foreign Office and the SS regarding indiscretions of Himmler planning a holiday in Finnland while not informing the proper diplomatic channels. Also the file contains Himmlers direct, explicit orders on how aryan women working for the SS and police beyond the Reich's borders have to be accomodated abroad as well as that all SS leaders and personnel wishing to marry must first ask for permission to do so directly from him in written form as well as produce the necessary documentation of a pure, aryan lineage.
