Himmler was Hitler’s “loyal Heinrich”

Adolf Hitler appointed Heinrich Himmler as his Reichsführer-SS, the highest official SS rank with the authority to operate independently and issue direct commands from the Führer. As a result, these two men interacted frequently.

Hitler's Führerprinzip was upheld by Himmler. According to this idea, subordinates must always obey their superiors. Himmler thus subordinated himself to Hitler and devotedly carried out his orders.

A fascinating Heinrich Himmler fact is that he became one of the most powerful individuals in the Third Reich. His capacity for power expansion and consolidation contributed to his rise to fame. Thus, he truly has equal power as Adolf Hitler despite having a bland and pedantic attitude.

Himmler had a reputation for being cunning, ambitious, and vicious. Hitler was identified as the most heinous mass murderer in history and the mastermind of the Holocaust.
