Born in Munich, Germany on October the 7th, 1900. Himmler attended Munich Technical High School and had received a degree in Agriculture three years before he had joined the Nazi party in 1925. He had a huge role and impact as a politician in the party and eventually as he was appointed to it, the leader of the Gestapo as well as the SS. Though it is expected and assumed by many people that Adolf Hitler was responsible for the entire Holocaust, an extreme contribution came from Heinrich Himmler's ideologies. He acted as support beams for the acts and ideas of the Nazis, that led to the Holocaust. His rise of roles in the Nazi party and effort increased as the years passed. To ensure his own power and control he successfully (alongside Herman Goering) convinced Hitler that the SA and their leader Ernst Rohm were a threat to the Fuhrers power, which led to the elimination and killing of the paramilitary as well as ordering the execution of their leader (Rohm.) During that year, Himmler had expanded the size of the SS to about 50,0000. With the power of his twisted mind and massive army, Himmler could then put the terms of the Final Solution into full gear.
