Himmler was in charge of the SS. The SS were the black uniformed private army of the Nazi party and were in charge of the death camps.

However

There also existed the WAFFEN-SS, who were the actual combat private army. It is important to know that the two differ from each other. Many people confuse or thing its all the same.

Himmler in the end killed himself by taking poison. He had thought up to the end that everything was cool, and that the Allies would treat him different. No luck- and he ended up killing himself when his bubble burst and was captured. He was 47 years old.
