@KodOdessa The topic of Muslim soldiers in the Waffen-SS is greatly exaggerated, there were less than 30,000 of them out of a total fighting force of 1 million men.

Himmler stated to Joseph Goebbels that he had "nothing against Islam because it educates the men in this Division for me

Himmler's always been more of an opportunist than a fanatical Nazi. He saw the opportuniy to gain enormous power in the Nazi regime so he joined. He did what in his eyes needed to be done to rise in the ranks of the Nazis. When it was obvious that Germany was going to loose the war, he again tried to get out of hthe firing line by undermining Hitler and trying to negotiate with the Allies. He surely was a Nazi, but his priority has always been his personal carreer and survival.

Hitler was know doubt an intense individual with brutal theories. Level headed, and a cunning strategist, at the beginning, his drug problem or problems began to rule his thinking. The July 20th plot turned him into a lunatic.

@TheRawke Opportunist??? What! You may of left out COLD BLOODED KILLER!!! Power has nothing to do with it! He served himself and no one else.

That propaganda film is sick stuff; the children singing sounds like "Charlie Brown's Christmas" play! It is strange to say, but Himmler is no wheres near as much of a madman as Hitler; he at least had a little sense of reality.
