SS - Schutzstaffel - Allemagne nazie |
| - | "Echelon de protection" ou "Section de protection".
Créée en 1923, la SS est d'abord la garde prétorienne de Hitler. Sous l'impulsion de Heinrich Himmler qui en prend la tête le 6 juin 1929, elle devient la police du Reich. A partir de 1937, la SS est chargée de la gestion du système concentrationnaire.
Himmler portera le titre de "Reichsfürher-SS".
A partir de 1935, la SS se subdivise en différentes branches notamment:
- SS Verfügungstruppe (troupes mises à disposition), organisées militairement et qui deviennent, au début de la guerre, les Waffen SS.
- SS Totenkopf (tête de mort) chargées de la garde des camps de concentration.

Dans ce texte :Himmler's Secret WarThe Covert Peace of Negotiations of Heinrich HimmlerMartin AllenLe dernier livre de Martin Allen suscitant de "vigoureuses" controverses sur notre espace, il nous a paru judicieux de proposer l'ouvrage et d'y déplacer les contributions de nos amis co-internautes, experts du nazisme.
En attendant que les responsables des Archives britanniques - et accessoirement de la Justice - fassent toute la lumière sur cette affaire de falsification de documents, nous nous bornerons à proposer au lecteur le synopsis de l'éditeur :
*** Ever since the end of the Second World War, the name of Heinrich Himmler – the pedantic fanatic who was responsible more than any other man for the murder of millions in the name of racial purity – has been synonymous with all that was evil in Nazi Germany. Yet there was far more to Himmler's character than being Germany's Reichführer-SS. Martin Allen's access to previously reticent individuals including several top Nazis and Himmler's daughter, in conjunction with newly discovered documents in British and American archives, has revealed a remarkable story with numerous explosive revelations.
Martin Allen has not only informed the life of Himmler with startling new facts and perspectives, he presents the entire Nazi command in a totally new light, in which Hitler was often manipulated and sometimes sidelined. In his manoeruvring to lead post-war Germany, Himmler believed that through an intermediary he was in direct contact with Winston Churchill, and is linked to the bomb that nearly killed Hitler in 1944, a decision to largely halt the mass extermination of Jews from Autumn 1944, and the surrender of all German forces in northern Italy and other events which reduced the length of the war. Most dramatic of all is previously unseen evidence that sheds new light on the circumstances of Himmler's death. ***
