Introduction
|
|
|
This microfilm collection comprises 3 parts, which correspond to files or folders. The first 2 folders [501(1) and (2)] contain a variety of documentation of and about Heinrich Himmler, both before and during his time as Reichsführer SS. This had been collated from a number of archives and subsequently deposited by Roger Manvell, co-author of Heinrich Himmler, William Heinemann Ltd., 1965. Each document is preceded by a detailed description and/ or summary in English. Note that many of the documents are duplicated and that the quality of these versions is often very poor. In addition, the documents seem to have been filmed in no particular order. Nor is there any document referencing.
The remaining folder [501(3)] contains correspondence and papers of Professor Gerald Fleming, mainly reflecting his interest in the study of Heinrich Himmler’s role during WWII and the Holocaust.

Correspondence and papers of Gerald Fleming including a declaration by Fleming, dated 15 June 1978, regarding David Irving’s assertion that Hitler had not known about Himmler’s involvement in the Holocaust; also correspondence and papers regarding the authenticity of a document which presents Himmler in a somewhat better light through his purported refusal to obey Hitler’s orders to murder the inmates of a concentration camp just prior to the end of the war. This includes a copy of the document itself, signed by Himmler and Felix Kersten, Himmler’s masseur and confidant; correspondence with Schellenberg and Bernadotte, Swedish diplomats
