Walter Schellenberg
Tumblr media
These are some facts and curiosities about Walter Schellenberg, the deputy head of the Gestapo:
He was born in Saarbrücken on 16 January 1910 but his family moved with his family to Luxembourg when the French occupation of the Saar Basin after the First World War triggered an economic crisis in the Weimar Republic.
 He returned to Germany to attend university, first at the University of Marburg and then, in 1929, at the University of Bonn. He initially studied medicine, but soon switched to law.
He joined the SS in 1933.
He was recruited in the SD through 2 professors ( he gave an anti catholic speech which aroused Heydrich's interest )
In November 1939 Schellenberg played a key role in the Venlo Incident, which ended with the capture of two British espionage agents and was awarded the Iron Cross for this.
In 1940 he was responsible for drawing up a list of 2,300 British personalities who were to be arrested as soon as Germany occupied Great Britain; he was also involved in many other espionage activities, among which the Kitty Salon activity was very successful.
In March 1942, Heinz Jost was fired from his position as RSHA Chief of Amt VI, SD-Ausland (SD foreign intelligence). In his place, Schellenberg was appointed chief of SD-Ausland by Heydrich
According to his memoirs, Schellenberg had been a friend of Wilhelm Canaris, the head of the Abwehr (military intelligence).
In the last months of the conflict Schellenberg tried to persuade Himmler to reach a separate peace with the Western Allies by exploiting the mediation of Count Folke Bernadotte, whom he himself met personally in Stockholm in April 1945.
He was captured in Denmark in June 1945 while working on an attempt to make a separate peace with the Americans.
During the postwar Nuremberg Trials, Schellenberg testified against other Nazis. In the 1949 Ministries Trial he was sentenced to six years' imprisonment, during which time he wrote his memoirs, The Labyrinth.
He died of cancer in 1952 in Turin, Italy.
During the German occupation of Paris, Schellenberg was believed to have been a lover of Coco Chanel, who paid for the cost of his funeral when he died penniless.

A book review
This book was an interesting read for me until I learnt more about Heydrich it consists of many unreliable sources ( Felix Christian and Schellenberg memoirs for example) some of his actions and speeches were put in a different light than what it was intended to be. Focused on some rumors and treated them as facts rather than finding a good source for them. The writer tried to focus on his psychological aspects and she did a decent job but as historical or biographical book it lacked many things
Some photos are identified wrongly and some events were explained wrongly too or exaggerated. About Reinhard's character there are better books like Deschner's or Diedrich's and his deeds were explained in a moderate way ( no exaggeration ) Gerwarth's book and Max williams too
Her interviews with Lina were interesting it shed some light about her character and some light about Reinhard's too
It also didn't state the political and organizational problems and conflicts. Some characters are given way too much attention even though they weren't as important as others who were barely mentioned
My rating : 2/5

        glass  of  wine  was  held  loosely  in his hand as he lounged on the bench. for one who's title had been granted by the dissolution of the very empire who's rulers were now missing and perhaps planning their next move. rather than worried, stefan was bored. terribly bored. at least here in the garden he could observe the others around him, no matter how few people around there were, but even that was growing tiresome. his eyes locked onto someone as they approached.   ❝ you're welcome to join me if you'd like, ❞   a smile accompanied his words.   ❝ if you have an interesting hypothesis for what they're whispering about, i might share this bottle of wine with you. ❞   stefan nodded in the direction of the group of people he'd previously been watching. they were too far away to hear what they were saying but that was where one's imagination must come into play.

𝐒𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐀𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐃 at the right moment, and Barbara managed to sneak from the infirmary. There was no way she would stay a night there, despite not having the condition to make much effort. The Hungarian princess managed to get in the first hall... Her wounds were aching so much, and she was sweating, she look down at the feet of a guy... And her gaze met the yes. Ah, Ruby's brother. She was Reuben best friend since they were little almost inseparable, well... Was until these days things got, a bit awkward and she decided to go search party to find the fugitives. ❛ Elias is fine. I think he is sleeping. ❜

I wanted to share this picture of Walter Schellenberg with another SS members in Nuremberg jail (as witnesses), because I haven't seen this here yet.
