Book excerpt: English summary: No name is more closely associated with the organisation and execution of the Holocaust than that of Heinrich Himmler. In his youth he already expressed the desire to become an officer in the armed forces. Germany's defeat in 1918 and the collapse of the German empire put a temporary stop to this notion. Subsequent political events and upheavals triggered a process of extreme radicalisation in Himmler which culminated when he personally met Adolf Hitler and joined the NSDAP. Organisational talent, determination, extreme antisemitism and utter ruthlessness towards himself and others made a sinister combination of personal traits that ultimately led to Himmler's appointment as Reichsfuhrer of the SS. This study discusses the period up until January 30th, 1933. The early SS organisation, the implementation of the Fuhrerprinzip (leader principle) within the NSDAP and the new type of propaganda campaign marked the cornerstones of Hitler's rise to Reich Chancellor. Central to these developments, however, was the career of a man who was to become the most evil mass murderer of the last century. German text. German description: Keine andere Person ist mit der Organisation und Durchfuhrung des Holocaust starker verbunden als Heinrich Himmler. Bereits als Jugendlicher aussert Himmler den Wunsch, Berufsoffizier zu werden. Die Kriegsniederlage 1918 und der Zusammenbruch des Kaiserreichs bedeuten das Ende dieser Vorstellungen. Die folgenden politischen Ereignisse und Umwalzungen setzen eine extreme Radikalisierung in Gang, an deren Ende die personliche Bekanntschaft mit Adolf Hitler und schliesslich der Eintritt in die NSDAP stehen. Organisationstalent, Zielstrebigkeit, ein extremer Antisemitismus und rucksichtslose Harte gegenuber sich selbst und anderen sind die entscheidenden Eigenschaften Heinrich Himmlers, die schliesslich in ihrer unheilvollen Kombination seine Ernennung zum Reichsfuhrer SS bewirken. Diese Studie thematisiert den Zeitraum bis zum 30. Januar 1933. Die fruhe Organisation der SS, die Durchsetzung des Fuhrerprinzips innerhalb der NSDAP und die neuartige Propagandaarbeit sind entscheidende Eckpunkte auf dem Weg zur Reichskanzlerschaft Hitlers. Im Mittelpunkt steht jedoch der Lebenslauf eines Mannes, der sich zum schlimmsten Massenmorder des vergangenen Jahrhunderts entwickelt.
