Heinrich Himmler by Roger Manvell and Heinrich Fraenkel. 1st ed 1965. H/C with jacket. 285 pp.

Who was the second most powerful man in Germany who regarded himself as Hitler's natural successor?

The authors have brought together all the known facts about the private life, the activities and the beliefs of the most sinister of the Nazi leaders, the mild-mannered, secretive fanatic who as the head of the SS became the most feared and hated man both inside and outside Germany. Based on documents handed over by the US government to the German Federal Archives, and the testimonies of Himmler's family and members of his staff, as well as numerous other books on the subject, notably the memoirs of Himmler's masseur, Felix Kersten.
