**Heinrich Himmler** (born 7th October 1900) is the Leader of the NSDAP and Frontman of National Socialism in The Imperium. Prior to the Imperiumist Takeover, he was Leader of the Schutzstaffel and would eventually become the leader of the Nazi Underground in the Nazi Insurrections.

Himmler is the most wanted man in The Imperium and behind the shadows, he has been instigating a Second Rise of National Socialism. Many Imperiumists believe he died in the Battle of Munich and another Nazi like Hermann Goering is using his name to generate attention.

## History

After the Imperiumist Takeover in 1940, Bands of Waffen-SS and Nazi Loyalists took over cities in Germany and Occupied Poland. Munich, Stuttgart, Nuremberg and Warsaw being the most notable. These Nazi Insurrectionists realised they needed a centralised Command and organised resistance to recapture Germany from the Imperiumists.

With Himmler's Position as Leader of the SS and being the Most Infamous Nazi still Alive, Himmler formed the Nazi Underground and used Munich as it's capital. Himmler would also be behind the usage of Guerrilla Warfare seen in the Battle of Stuttgart (1941). After the fall of Stuttgart, Himmler ordered extensive defensive measures to protect Nuremberg and ordered Nazi Militias to leave the City and take smaller towns to use as bases to attack incoming Imperial Soldiers and warn those in the City.

These would be in vain as Nuremberg would fall. He then ordered the Eastern Counterattack (16th July 1942 - 4th February 1943) in Poland which would be a failure and diminish the already weakened NU Forces in Poland.

After the Calm Period between February 1943 to September 1945, Himmler began making preparations for a Second Uprising. This Second Uprising beginning on the 20th of September 1945, occurred in 3 Waves. The First Wave was a Great Success and saw Hamburg, Frankfurt, Leipzig and Stuttgart would fall to The NU.

The Second Wave was an attack on Imperia City ,Nuremburg, Hanover, Cologne and Weimar. This attack caused Imperial Militia units to rise up in defiance of the Nazi Forces and the Second Uprising was largely a failure.

On the 3rd of February 1947, a Third and Final Wave occurred. This Last Ditch Attack would see 50,000 SS Fighters amass on Imperia City and engage in Brutal Street to Street Fighting with the ISDs. The Civilians of Imperia City witnessed the true extent of The Nazi Insurrections and what the Imperial Soldiers had to fight. The People of The City wanted the War over. So on the 8th June 1947, Imperial Militia Units Rose up in Imperia City and began Executing People Loyal to the Nazis. The Battle for Imperia City would last until April 1950 due to the Defiance of the SS Soldiers. Over 35,500 SS and Nazi Militia died in the Battle and 25,000 Imperial Militia Died along with 2,000 Stormtroopers. The Battle for Imperia would see the end of the Second Uprising.

Himmler's focus would change from offense to defence with the Grand Imperial Offensive. Nuremberg was the First to be Liberated in November 1950, followed by Stuttgart in January 1951. Munich would be largely surrounded and communications would be altered. Himmler attempted to issue orders to the Eastern Forces but a majority of messages failed to reach. He did receive news that Leipzig had fallen and assumed Polish Cities would be hit next In 1953. However, on the 12th August 1953, Munich was assaulted by 4 Imperial Storm Divisions.

The Battle of Munich was commanded by Heinrich Himmler himself who was defending his Capital and Home City against The Imperial Army. His defensive preparations allowed the NU Fighters to repel the First Imperial Assault. Himmler's Planning made The Battle of Munich the Imperium's Most Bloody Battle. However, The Imperial Air Force would bomb Munich and cripple the Defensive Positions. Himmler ordered the "Death before Retreat" Order and was determined to repel the attack. The Imperial Wave crashed into the Weak NU Defences and overwhelmed the NU Fighters who had to retreat after retreat. The Resistance was over and Munich was crushed.

Himmler and 1,000 SS Guards extracted from the City and were forced into hiding. Himmler didn't want to leave Munich but his officers convinced him they could reach Warsaw and continue the War. However, Himmler would never reach Warsaw. After his defeat at Munich, Himmler and his closest confidants made it to a small town, 80km outside of Warsaw on the 10th of April 1954 after travelling at night and laying low. Some Local Sympathisers informed them about the Atomic Bombing of Warsaw and the collapse of the Nazi Underground.

Himmler refused to be defeated. He has turned Nazism into an extremely aggressive ideology and ten times worst than it was under Hitler. He uses the New SS as a paramilitary terrorist group to oppress the local populations and remove those who try to resist. They frequently battle the Imperial Police. Himmler remains the most wanted person in The Imperial Realm and in all Countries (Except Argentina). His belief that Hitler failed has led him to create a cult of personality around him and the SS Leaders believing their purpose is to bring glory to the Aryan Race.

## In-Game

In the 1960 Start Date, Himmler has already begun his Second Rise of Nazism. His SS will disrupt Infrastructure and stage raids in the areas around Munich. The Player has the ability to select decisions to stop these Raids and Pinpoint Himmler's Location through raiding garrisons, destroying garrisons or gaining informants. The Player will then be able to assassinate Himmler by Storming his Compound or Assassinating him using Covert Informants (Requires at least one Informant from the Garrisons)

Should the Player not destroy the Nazi Threat, Himmler will hold a Grand Rally in Nuremberg which will start an event chain, where the player must take an action on dealing with the rally, causing a Second Nazi Insurrection. If Himmler wins the Civil War, He will restore the Greater German Reich and reign the new state with an iron fist. He will purge all Imperiumist Generals and replace them with SS Generals.

However, if he loses the civil war or the player captures Himmler via decisions, He will be executed and removed from the political scene and the Nazi Ideology in The Imperial Realm. The Player also has the option to execute many other Leading Nazi Officers such as Hermann Goering if the player wins the Civil War or selects the appropriate decision, or if the Aggressive Raid succeeds.

Himmler begins as a minor annoyance but if left unchecked, His Power will grow and break out. His quick switch from an Aggressive Paramilitary Commander and Terrorist to a Political Leader has led to him being inexperienced in gaining political power which will prove as an advantage to the player.
