Slight side line..

I was watching a programme about Himmer last week and it came across Himmler wanted the Germans to get back to the land and work it instead of moving to the city's and in his view having a good time. Strong values and hard work which later on when he came to power bought in, there was no real info to suggest Himmler hated the Jews before getting in with the Nazi movement.

Hatred of the Jews as we all know goes way back in history.

Himmler eh?

Not sure if that is correct or not but either way, he certainly made up for it later.

I heard some (for me) strange stories about Himmler wanting to visit Palestine in the years before WW2, to speak about the relocation of european jews(?), and I just wondered why. Was there another plan? It also seems he was not allowed to meet with the jewish leadership there, probably because at that tiome it was still an english "protectorate", so he went to Cairo instead and met some people there. I have never been able to get more info about this rumour though.
There was also another country in question for a resettlement, at the eastern coast of Africa.
It just seems strange.

Generally in these situations the Romans began to care when something threatened public order. Seems like Jesus' crucifixion was one such instance. Judea was bit of a powder keg to begin with, so all troublesome people were quickly taken care of by various means.

A pretty good outline of his 'achievements' can be found here: https://www.britannica.com/biography/Heinrich-Himmler

I have Peter Padfield's biography of Himmler. I've been meaning to read it.

For years. :dead:
