The truth fears no investigation! And what better source of truth can there be about Heinrich Himmler than his own personal letters? Together with letters from his wife and daughter, his mistress, his subordinates in the SS, and others, this film shows us the reality of the war criminal - a man with clearly psychopathic tendencies, so consumed by Nazi ideology, and so bereft of faith in God, that he explicity ordered the mass murder of hundreds of thousands (at least) and justified it in plain text as being for the benefit of Germany and of "his people."
This is a must watch for anyone with an interest in the horrors of WWII. A case study in the banality of evil. How could a simple son of farmers (indeed, Himmler's occupation is listed as "certified farmer" on his marriage certificate) end up orchestrating such henious crimes with a straight face? I believe this film shows that the capacity for evil indeed lies within every one of us.
Thank you to the filmmakers for giving this material the light of day. Invaluable perspective on what really happened to lead to the "final solution" - unadulterated by propaganda or political correctness.
The truth fears no investigation - and the truth is indeed that Heinrich Himmler was an unrepentant war criminal.
