He was in charge of the SS to begin with and established the first concentration camp, Dachau, in 1934. He extended the concentration camps to Eastern Europe in 1941.

Himmler felt pushed aside by Hitler's constant entourage and planned to succeed Hitler. He made negotiations with the Allies; when Hitler found out about these negotiations he ordered Himmler's immediate arrest. Himmler escaped only to be caught by the British and eventually committing suicide using poison.
