The wikipedia article on Heinrich Himmler gives an overall picture.

One of the key people in the National Socialist (Nazi) party, his power grew out of his place as the head of Hitler's bodyguard, the Schutzstaffel or SS, which expanded beyond all recognition. He also had control of the Gestapo, the German secret police.

He eventually became the second most powerful man in Nazi Germany, second only to Hitler.
