He traces the rise to power of Heinrich Himmler who, in 1929, clambered to the SS throne and molded for it and himself a divine purpose—the destruction of the Jews (although, ironically, the SS had been for many years the sole champion of Zionism in Germany). In his story of the cancedlike growth of the SS and Himmler, Mr. Hohne draws a devastating picture of the totalitarian mind, and gives penetrating insight into what went on inside the death's head.

This is Heinz Hohne's descrip- tion of the odious SS, which opens "The Order of the Death's Head " a history of the most powerful Third Reich organization, to be is- sued Feb. 25 by Coward-McCann. The SS included the secret serv- ice, the German police, the cream of the German military, the Ges- tapo. and operators of the death camps. Yet it was never the mono- lithic, single-purpose block that modern history, Hollywood, and World War II mythmakers have depicted until now. One thing that became immediately apparent to Hohne in his research was that our traditional concept of the SS represents merely "the tip of a quite unknown iceberg of political - mystique, cold calculating man- agement, militaristic robotism."
