BS. Until the very end, Himmler wouldn’t have taken a crap
without Hitler’s blessing.
Agreed. Hitler always referred to Himmler as “my loyal Henry”.
Hitler was extremely insecure as Fuhrer. He valued loyalty over competence. (This is how idiots like Keitel and Jodl ended in the OKW. It is also why Hitler allowed Goering to run the Luftwaffe into the ground, no pun intended.) He surrounded himself with lapdogs and true believers, just like Stalin, Mao, and Obama.
