The Last Nazis: Children of the Master Race Page #2

that my mother and my stepfather and the older generation left me with.

I had questions about myself.

So, one day, when there was no-one else in the house,

I went and I opened the wardrobe

and I looked at the strongbox and the key was on it.

So I took it, unlocked it, looked in...

SHARP INTAKE OF BREATH ..found lots of papers.

None about myself.

None about myself, but I found a silver cup.

It gives the date of my first birthday

and then it says, "From your Godfather, H Himmler."

I knew the name Himmler, even at 15 and 16.

And I knew the man was a...

was a...criminal,

one of the worst criminals in Germany.

That indicated that my father must have been high up,

somewhere close to Himmler.

'Himmler was Godfather to at least 50 Lebensborn offspring

'sired by his closest SS colleagues.

'He himself practised what he preached,

'producing two illegitimate children of his own.'

There was a shelf at the library with new acquisitions.

I would go through all the books that came out

about national socialism.

'Its aristocracy, clergy and intelligentsia were to be wiped out.

'During the invasion, Alvensleben led the Selbstschutz,

'a brutal paramilitary organisation made up of Germans living in Poland.

'Alvensleben told his men,

'"You are now the master race here. Don't be soft. Be merciless.

'"Clear out everything that is non-German."'

I will never understand how they came

to do the kinds of things they did...

..convinced they would get away with it.

They were even thinking they could rule the whole world,

convinced they would get territories for the...

LAUGHING:
..for the master race.

You know. Which was to govern the world.

'Guntram is heading to the War Crimes Office

'in Bydgoszcz, the town his father used as a Polish base.

'He and researcher Chris Dziadzielwialski

'have been granted rare access to view criminal case files

'detailing Alvensleben's crimes.
