Heinrich Himmler: A Photo History of the Reichsfuhrer-SS

I have to admit that Max Williams has really done an exceptional book on Himmler! The beginnings of this man from his early years to the second most powerful man in Germany is covered in detail!! For such a weakly looking man to profess the Nazi idealization on individuals is so absurd, especially from educated men to follow!! History it seems to be repeatedly showing this form of repression such as China, North Korea, Middle East and Africa to mention a few countries of the world! This book I believe shows the tendencies of insanity to the extremes as also mentioned in the Bible! When will we (mankind) ever learn from our past!! So many innocent people pay the price for leaders mis-aligned allegiance!! Where is the answer to all this confusion but within our selves to each other!! The most difficult thing is to take the first step of accepting each other without comparing our faults and appearances! Now that is Something!!

Max Williams' book is a must-have for any World War II aficionado. What makes this book invaluable is the collection of photographs that comprise the last six hundred pages of the book--many are rare and have never been seen before. I've been using this book extensively to describe people and locations for a WWII-era novel I am writing.The textual portion of the book (the first 150 pages) is very basic and is a history of Himmler based on his diary entries. It provides a fairly good overview of Himmler's career, but I would not rely on it to provide a fleshed out biography of Himmler.

I'm very satisfied with this book. It provides a good summary of Himmler's life and lots of neat photos taken from the third reich period of Himmler. I definitely read this book during my spare time and with that being said I'm an SS enthusiast and Max Williams is a great author and is very accurate with providing information of third reich history. This book is well worth the time to buy and read if you're in to learning additional facts based on the Waffen-SS.

Full of rare, high quality photographs with detailed captions. The text is written more for historians than the casual reader. Indeed, Max Williams is the historians' historian. This is an extraordinary volume.I also recommend his two volume pictorial biography of Reinhard Heydrich.

Finally secured my copy, just moments ago, and am prompted yet again to state categorically and unequivocally that Max Williams is and will always be the foremost photo chronicler of the SS leadership corps.An absolute masterpiece, as are the three volumes of his "SS Elite" series.~ Mike Millerhttps://www.amazon.com/Michael-D.-Miller/e/B01DLKKJVA/ref=ntt_dp_epwbk_0

This is an amazing compilation. Besides the photographs, many of which I have never seen before, the book gives an almost day by day account of Himmler's activities. This book is priceless for a WW2 history buff.

An incredible collection of photos about such an evil and twisted man. As a historical reference, the book is worth every penny.

Good deal. I did not know he was such a rock star in the Nazi party. Dan
