Hitler's Henchmen

S1, E3: Heinrich Himmler: SS national leader, chief of police, minister of the interior, and commander-in-chief – Hitler’s most powerful disciple remains an enigma even today. Why did Himmler secretly order an extensive research project about witches? Why was he interested in the occult? What role did his mysterious lover play, who he led a double-life with for years? And was Himmler rather than Hitler responsible for the order for the mass murder of Jews? This film examines the SS-leader in a new light and delivers new insights into Himmler’s complex persona.
