...description of Europe's greatest previous secret policeman-Napoleon's Minister of Police Joseph Fouché-as a "cold, selfish, remorseless fanatic" fits Policeman Himmler too. Of all the Nazi leaders, he is the most uncompromising, the least likely to show mercy or kindness. He is also unique among Nazi big shots in that he literally grew up with the Party, never knew or worked at much of anything else...
...Gestapo. Troops will march down Berlin's Unter den Linden and through the crowded Tiergarten as the 50-year-old Führer receives the frenzied homage of an adoring nation.

His resources and funds are great. The fines he imposes, the money his men take from frontier smugglers, reportedly go into his organization. Well-informed people said the Jewish plunderings were to replenish the 55 and Gestapo coffers. His devotion to the Führer has never been doubted; but neither can it be denied that the Führer is deeply indebted to him. While...
