Inside rides the most ruth- lessly ambitiou and inoist powerful of Hitler's lieutenants, cold remorseless Heinrich Himmler. As Reichsfuehrer of the Schutzstaffel or SS (Protec- tive Corps), Inspector of the Geheime Staatspolizei (Gestapo), and Commissioner of nil German Police undersized Horr Himmler is the man behind and above the law in Germany, and riding through traffic lights is only one of the ways by which he reminds Germans of his far-flung powers.

HIMMLER, Chief of the Gestapo

Despite the fact that he is completely ignorant of inter- national affairs, Himmler has often dabbled in foreign in- trigue. During the Moscow trial of General Tuchatachovsky and Afteen others in August, 1996, it was revealed by the prisoners but suppressed by the Court that Himmler had paid out thou- sands of Reichsmarks for what. he thought was "secret military Information."

The story of his rise to power-a rise made over the dead bodies of comrades and superiors-is a perfect. example of the lack of personal loyalty in the inner Nazi circle.

Himmler knows loyalty to one man only-Adolf Hitler, whom he considers a "superman”—and as long as Hitler is alive Police- man Himmler will serve him faithfully. But once Hitler is removed-by death or otherwise
