Himmler's death


















It is a one of the most fascinating and unsolved mystery of WWII. For almost half a century we believed that Heinrich Himmler, one of the most powerful men in the third reich, directly responsible for mass murder in occupied Europe, surrendered to allies, and soon after that, he committed suicide by bit on a cyanide capsule embedded in one his teeth. Today, we know that the truth could be different and today we may reflect that the man who was called a hangman of Europe escaped from justice.

After Stalingrad, it became clear that Wehrmacht lost the war. It was just a matter of time when the third reich would totally collapse. Heinrich Himmler had a plan, to escape from Germany.
On August 10 1944 in Strasbourg, he held a meeting for the representatives of the biggest German companies such as: Siemens, IG Farben, KreditBank, Deutsche Bank. They established how to transfer a huge amount of money to South America, money which would be used to build IV Reich with Heinrich Himmler as a fuhrer.

Who was Heinrich Hitzinger? A policeman from a small town in Germany. He faced court martial in 1945 and was sentenced to death for defeatism, but he was not executed, he was very similar to Himmler.
May 8, 1945 Himmler with Hitzinger’s documents, put on a black patch on his eye, and shaved mustachewith the company of 15 SS officers, he left to southern Germany, where he was later arrested by British patrol. He was later escorted to the Westertinke camp. There, he demanded to meet with the commandant, and he identified himself as Heinrich Himmler.
Himmler, was searched and one cyanide capsule was found on him and removed. Next day he was transferred to Lueneburg. When an army doctor was about to examine his mouth he bit on a cyanide capsule embedded in one of his teeth and died.
An autopsy was conducted by the most experienced doctors, and it shouldn’t be a problem to determine the real identity of Heinrich Himmler, but all files connected with Himmler’s dead were kept top secret by British government for 100 years.
One of the doctors present, at the autopsy claimed, after the war, that he did not notice any scar on Himmler’s face, but Himmler had a scar. If doctor was telling the truth, then the man in Lueneburg was not Heinrich Himmler.
