Himmler, Heinrich. Typed Letter Signed ("H. Himmler"), one page, large quarto, n.p., October 5, 1938. To SS-Gruppenführer Dr. Kaltanbrunner, regarding the state visit of Hungarian Ambassador Horthy. Himmler tells Kaltenbrunner that he is aware of his problems with General Daluege, "Chef der Ordnungspolizei." He asks Kaltenbrunner to please settle his differences with Daluege and notes that "a copy of this letter has been sent to Daluege." Light toning and soiling; file holes and staple marks, not affecting the bold signature. As head of the RSHA after the assassination of Heydrich, Kaltenbrunner had full responsibility for the deportation and extermination of Jews; as the Allies closed in, he ordered the extermination of all remaining camp prisoners. He was captured at Nurenburg and hanged for crimes against humanity. From the Institute of Documentation in Israel. Fine.
