doctor told me a good deal about Himmler. Himmler had started life as an agricultural student, 
 
and had remained throughout his life keenly interested in questions of race and heredity. He was 
 
fanatically anti-Russian, having a great fear of the consequences of the high Russian birth rate, and 
 
disliking the threatened mixture of Slav blood with German blood. On the other hand, he had a 
 
great liking for the Anglo-Saxons because of their similarity of blood and racial characteristics 
 
with the Germans. Himruler had stated repeatedly to the doctor what a pity it was that Germans 
 
had to fight Englishmen and Americans, who were phsycially so like the Germans.
 
              Contrary to most members of the Gestapo, Himrelet was completely honest. He lived on 
 
a salary of 36,000 marks a year, and had no interest in accumulating money. Furthermore, he was 
 
completely loyal to his wife, a woman some lO years older than Himmler.
 
              The doctor said that most of the ministers in the German government, such as Ley, were 
 
totally unimportant. Himmler's relations with Goebbels and Ribbentrop were very bad as there 
 
was acute jealousy on each side. I
