Himmler's Rising To Become Reinchsfuhrer
"He [Heinrich Himmler] thinks, aw these guys are for me. This is where I can put on the uniform, I can play up being a solider, and I can do something about the points of Germany."

Heinrich Himmler, born on October 7th, 1900, had always had an interest in Germany and fighting for it. However he never got to fight for his country during WWI because he turned eighteen after the war had ended.
"We know that these clashes with Asia and Jewry are necessary for evolution."
-Heinrich Himmler
Early Life
Heinrich Himmler was born into a middle class Catholic family; he was the middle child with two other brothers and the older one being his mother's favorite because he needed lots of attention because he was ill often. The summer of 1919 he graduated from high school in Landshut and then three years later he got his agriculture degree from the Technical University of Munich. On August 1923, Himmler joined the Nazi party and then three months later, November 9th, 1923, he marched in the Beer Hall Putsch. Himmler had always wanted to "try" women before he made a commitment to them but could not because of his Catholic faith. When he married Margarete Boden and he claimed that the marriage was not perfect, he blames that on the Catholic church.
"These clashes are the only evolutionary possibility which will enable us one day, now that Fate has given us the Fuehrer Adolf Hitler, to create the Germanic Reich."

Becoming Reinchsfuhrer
"Himmler blames the Jews for Germany's defeat. He is spurred by a desire to eradicate non-German ethnic groups. He joins the S.S., now nearly two-hundred strong, and quickly rises through its ranks."
