Heinrich Himmler

Initials used by the speakers for Heinrich Himmler.

About

Heinrich Himmler led the SS from 1929 and became chief of the German police in 1936.

He held central power over the SS, police, camp system, and mass murder of Europe’s Jews. H.H. is one set of initials used for him in the interview.

In this interview

Eichmann uses H.H. as a handwritten file mark and says papers bearing it were returned with orders to destroy them.

Read with care

HH can be ambiguous, but Part1/00113 writes Heinrich Himmler beside the initials. Other linked uses follow the same file-marking context.
