3 unusual facts about Erna Hanfstaengl


Erna Hanfstaengl

Her peace plan consisted of having Himmler (with the aid of the Waffen SS) abduct Hitler to the Obersalzberg, where he would be held in SS detention.

Himmler's wife and Erna were acquainted, and Frau Himmler had suggested to her husband that Erna would be a suitable person to conduct peace negotiations with the English, perhaps because she knew "people of influence" such as Randolph Churchill.

This would allow for the use of the cover story that Hitler was still in control of the government, since he spent much time at Obersalzberg anyway.
