Hitler’s right hand man started each day with a two-hour massage before going about his business; ordering the genocide of millions at his Nazi death camps.

The diaries of Heinrich Himmler have been discovered lying in a Russian military archive and each page gives an insight into the mind of the monster who orchestrated the holocaust.

Journalist Damian Imoehl helped German newspaper Bild obtain the diaries and says the sheer mundanity of the entries is what scares him the most.

"One day he starts with breakfast and a massage from his personal doctor, then he rings up his wife and daughter in the south of Germany and after that he decides to have 10 men killed or visits a concentration camp," Imoehl said.

Professor Nikolaus Katzer of the German Historical Institute (DHI) in Moscow said the diaries were not a forgery and the pages constitute "a document of shudderingly outstanding historical significance".

Funny, read the article, did they find him saying anything?

EX:
quote:

A special transport of 400 Jewish women and girls were brought in from the ghetto at nearby Lublin for his visit. They were put to death in front of Himmler to show the efficiency of his killing chambers. The tour only warranted a single line in Himmler’s diary.


So he doesn't mention anything about it, but they say it happened based on what they "know happened"?

It's like finding Osama Bin Ladens Dairy and the entry on 9/11 says:

"Today was a nice day, fricked a goat that was given to me by one of my wive's FIL #winning"


and our media says "Bin Laden callously shows no guilt or hurt for killing 3,000 people in the 9/11 attacks"

maybe .....it didn't happen?

ex2:

quote:

Himmler’s diaries have a mundane approach to major points in the war, and in world history.

His entry on October 4, 1943 simply stated a “speech to SS officers” at Poznan, in occupied Poland.

That speech was one of his most infamous, where the true extent of his madness was revealed.

"I am talking about the evacuation of the Jews, the extermination of the Jewish people," Himmler said to his loyal executioners.

"It's part of our plans, we're eliminating the Jews, exterminating them, a small matter.


Another, perfectly known the exact words that came from his mouth...but dude was "gave a speech, they need better beer here". I hope we have actual audio, and not hearsay when we are "quoting" people. Otherwise it could be completely manufactured.

It sounds like they found his daily planner more than they did a journal. That would account for the short notes on the day's events.

The reality is that he WAS a man. It's easy to portray the nazis, especially the leadership, as uncaring, unthinking monsters...but they were just people going through their lives.

Their lives just happened to be REALLY fricked up and involved truly horrifying consequences. But I think the demonization is just because it makes it easier for the rest of us to deal with it. Like...how could normal people do things like that? They must have been truly evil.

bullshite.bullshite...Um..Eat me.Eat me...



eta: I believe Rudolph Hess,Commandant at Alshawitz(sp) kept a very detailed diary of the day to day business of running a Death Camp..Also Adolph Eichman kept pretty accurate records of his Crimes against Humanity.

These pieces of shite are an abomination and stain on Humanity.I hope they've been suffering in an unimaginable Hell.
