More Nazi memorabilia <...>
Hitler confidante and Reich co-architect Heinrick Himmler was once an 11 year old with a devout Catholic mother who sent him to Holy Communion school.
The Communion Certificate will be auctioned with other items found when Himmler's house was remodeled by its new owners - objects include his postcard to his dear mother on her 75th birthday.
Born 1905 to a middleclass family, he began officer training during WWI - the war ended before he could join the travesty - in the intervening years he studied agriculture and became a chicken farmer.
He swiftly became a trusted aide after joining Hitler's fledgling Nazi party. Hitler's der treue Heinrich (the loyal Heinrich) until his disillusionment inspired him to negotiate with EInsenhower, Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe, Hitler's ferocity at the betrayal drove Himmler to go on the run, he was stripped as SS chief. Captured in disguise on 22 May 1945, he committed suicide with a cyanide capsule the next day.
