Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. My father was a teacher and described me as a born criminal. My godfather was a member of the Royal Bavarian family. I kept a diary from the age of 10 until I was 24 years old. I trained as a soldier with the 11th Bavarian Regiment.

Answer: Heinrich Himmler.

Himmler was born on the 7th of October, 1900. He was a major figure in the Nazi Party and was the leader of the SS (Reichsf�hrer-SS).
He was obsessed with war, and once he became a Nazi he also became obsessed with the occult.

When it became obvious that Germany was heading for defeat, Himmler attempted to broker a peace deal with the allies, which enraged Hitler, who had regarded Himmler as a loyal lapdog.

2. I helped create the German Workers Party (DAP) and during a DAP meeting in September 1919 I approached Hitler and handed him a book called, "My Political Awakening". At the request of Hitler, I later changed the name of the DAP to the National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazi Party).

Answer: Anton Drexler.

Drexler was born in 1884 and was a co-founded of the DAP (that later became the Nazi Party). He left the Party in 1923 and re-joined 10 years later. He died at the age of 57 on 24 February 1942 and was practically forgotten.

3. I was born in 1894 and was Hitler's close friend. I spent time in Landsberg prison for my involvement in the Beer Hall Putsch. I was made the deputy F�hrer in 1933.

Answer: Rudolf Hess.

Rudolf Hess created a stir when he left Germany on 10 May 1941 in a Messerschmitt Bf 100. He flew to Britain and parachuted into Scotland - and was sent to the Tower of London.

For those interested, a great book to read is "The Murder of Rudolf Hess" by Dr. Hugh Thomas. It makes claims of a conspiracy theory, and hints at the fact that the "Hess" that flew to Scotland was a double, and provides evidence by the author. Well worth the read!

4. I was born in 1905 with the first name of Berthold. I was the Minister for Armaments and War Production for the Third Reich.

Answer: Albert Speer.

When Fritz Todt (the Minister of Armaments) died in 1942, Speer was immediately given the position by Hitler.
Albert Speer joined the Nazi party in 1932. He was Hitler's personal architect from 1934. Speer arranged the concept of using anti-aircraft search lights, facing upwards into the sky, to create a "wall of light" at the Nuremberg Rallies.
Speer designed the new Reich Chancellery.

5. Heinrich Himmler fought during WWI and received the Iron Cross First Class for bravery, something that appealed to and impressed Hitler.

Answer: False

Himmler was too young to actively take part in the fighting on the front during the First World War. He made up for it in World War II by becoming one of the Nazi's most feared members. He was not very good with the horrific side of war though, when it came to witnessing a mass execution of Jews he almost fainted from the sight of it.

6. Which of these statements about Hermann G�ring is incorrect?

Answer: He died at the end of the hangman's noose after being convicted of war crimes at the Nuremberg Trial.

G�ring flew fighter planes during WW1 and won the Iron Cross. After the death of the "Red Baron" the unit was commanded by Wilhelm Reinhard, and then by G�ring.

G�ring was originally in charge of the Gestapo.
On 20 April, 1934 G�ring appointed Himmler as the acting chief of the Gestapo in Prussia. On 17 June, 1936 Hitler appointed Himmler as the Reichsf�hrer-SS and leader of the Gestapo.

G�ring was convicted of war crimes and sentenced to hang. He managed to avoid execution by swallowing a cyanide capsule the night before.

Answer: Martin Bormann.

Bormann was Hitler's private secretary and a very close friend, especially during the final days of the Third Reich. Hilter referred to Bormann as his "most loyal Party comrade". Bormann was a witness of Hitler's Political testament and was also a witness for Hitler's wedding to Eva Braun.

There is still a debate that rages about the fate of Bormann after the fall of the Third Reich. Did he die? Or did he manage to escape and lived his life in full? You be the judge - see the following links:

8. I was born in 1897. I was unable to serve in the armed forces during Wordl War I and joined the Nazi Party in 1922. In 1926, I made the famous demand 'that the petty bourgeois Adolf Hitler be expelled from the National Socialist Party'. Who am I?

Answer: Dr. Joseph Goebbels.

Goebbels did not participate in World War I because of a crippled foot.

In 1922 he joined the Nazi Party and even though he wanted Hitler expelled, he soon changed his mind. A loyal supporter of Hitler, Goebbels became Reich Minister for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda in 1933.

Answer: Fritz Todt.

Fritz Todt founded the Organisation Todt. He was responsible for the construction of military fortifications and the super highways (Autobahns). He was the Reich Minister for Armaments and Munitions until 1942 when he was killed in a plane crash. Albert Speer stepped into his role not long after his death.

Answer: Heinrich M�ller.

Heinrich M�ller was the Chief of the Gestapo and a main player in the extermination of the Jews. He was a subordinate of Reinhard Heydrich. His nickname was "Gestapo M�ller". He was last seen inside the F�hrer bunker on 1 May 1945.
