As the right-hand man of Adolf Hitler, Heinrich Himmler was perhaps the most feared man in Nazi Germany.
Under his command, the monsters of the SS had carried out unspeakable horrors, not least the murder of millions of Jews in the Holocaust.

Wearing an eye patch and posing as a lowly sergeant called Heinrich Hizinger, Himmler had handed over his false identity documents in the hope that they would pass muster.
Instead, he was given away by a stamp that his own people had placed on the document.
