HIMMLER SPEECHES
THE SPEECHES OF SS CHIEF HEINRICH HIMMLER
A WORLD FUTURE FUND STUDY IN DOCUMENTARY HISTORY
NOTE: BRIEF STATEMENT OF PUBLICATIONS PRINCIPLES
The World Future Fund serves as a source of documentary material, reading lists and internet links from different points of view that we believe have historical significance. The publication of this material is in no way whatsoever an endorsement of these viewpoints by the World Future Fund, unless explicitly stated by us. As our web site makes very clear, we are totally opposed to ideas such as racism, religious intolerance and communism. However, in order to combat such evils, it is necessary to understand them by means of the study of key documentary material. For a more detailed statement of our publications standards click here.
Although he was not know for his abilities as a public speaker, Heinrich Himmler delivered a considerable number of speeches over the course of his tenure as head of the SS. This list provides a detailed guide to many of the speeches Himmler gave between the years 1925 and 1945. Where possible we have included information that will allow researchers and students to locate these speeches. This information includes links to the relevant archives and sources in which a given speech may have been published. Part of this list was compiled using information provided in Bradley F. Smith and Agnes F Peterson (eds.), Heinrich Himmler: Geheimreden 1933 bis 1945 und andere Ansprachen (Berlin: Ullstein, 1974).
Please note that this list is not comprehensive, meaning some speeches may not be included. To this date a well annotated compilation of the speeches of Heinrich Himmler does not exist, despite the fact that Himmler was the second most powerful man in Germany after Adolf Hitler. We hope that providing a guide like this will stimulate research into the speeches of Himmler, and perhaps the eventual publication of a much needed compilation.
Lastly, concerning how to use this list. The documents listed at NARA - the National Archives and Records Administration, College Park, MD - reside primarily in the Captured German Records Collection (RG 242). These records are on microfilm and can be found in the microfilm reading room of the National Archive.
