On April 28th, Hitler received a report that Himmler, head of the SS, had been in touch with the Allies regarding a surrender. Himmler had contacted Count Bernadette of the Swedish Red Cross. Adolf Hitler had always considered Himmler to be the most loyal of his men. When he received a Reuter's confirmation of the report, witnesses said that he exploded with rage. He accused an SS officer in the bunker, Herman Fegelein, of knowing about what Himmler had planned. Fegelein admitted that he had known about it and, stripped of all his rank and medals, he was marched by SS guards to the Reich Chancellery garden and shot.

Did Himmler order the death march?

Heinrich Himmler, as one of the leading figures in the Nazi regime and head of the SS, was instrumental in implementing the Holocaust and other brutal policies. While he did not personally order every death march, he was responsible for the overall administration of concentration camps and the forced evacuations of prisoners, which often led to death marches. These marches were part of the Nazis' efforts to eliminate evidence of their crimes as Allied forces advanced. Thus, while he may not have given a direct order for specific marches, his policies and directives facilitated their occurrence.
