Baeza asks,
, what we think of Peter Padfield’s biography of Himmler
What do you think of Peter Padfield on Himmler?
I AM looking forward to reading your biography of
Heinrich Himmler. How is the book coming along? I am particularly curious about your take on Wewelsburg and am eager to read what a serious historian such as you has to say about all the mythology that cranks such as Pauwels (The Morning of the Magicians) or Ravenscroft (Spear of Destiny) have spun from Himmler’s alleged proclivity to esoteric rituals. Have you ever discussed this subject before?
I am likewise eager to finally read a well-researched biography on Himmler after seeing the poor job made by
Peter Padfield in his shoddy book on the life of the
Reichsführer-SS.
