What were Heinrich Himmler's accomplishments?
In my opinion Himmler did nothing that was admirable or great. Even when he tried to surrender to the Allies he had his own personal agenda in mind. He was responsible for the deaths of 6 million Jews. He was also responsible for the deaths of 5 million other people Hitler considered "Undesirable". He was the head of the SS and they were really bad "dudes". Oh, sure he did a great job for Hitler but did nothing great for Germany or mankind.
Who killed the most people in the world?
There are different types of murder. Hitler was responsible for the extermination of 6 million Jews from the late 1930's until 1945. Joe Stalin was responsible for the deaths and executions of 15 to 30 million people between 1930 and his own death in 1952. The colonoization of the Western hemisphere and the entire history of the United States evidences the deaths of more than an estimated 300 million people. The Roman Catholic Church is responsible for the deaths of an estimated 350 to 500 million Jews and Christians during an 800 year period commonly known as the Inquisition. Luis Garavito, of Colombia may have killed as many as 400 children in the 1990's.
How many deaths is Hitler responsible for?
Not nearly as many as Stalin was responsible for, but Stalin was 'our friend and ally' so we don't talk about it. Hitler was a ruthless and feared leader of Germany during WW2 there is no way to put a actual number of men woman and children that were murdered by this man.If someone was to estimate a number of deaths he is responsible for including his own people i would estimate at 15 million or more.....
