Does anybody know what hitlers right hand man was called?

Question

im doing coursework on it and cant find it anywhere

Answer 1

Goebbels was always there with Hitler, but Rudolph Hess was his personal secretary and helped(wrote?) "Mein Kampf". Being personal secretary and deputy party leader probably put him closer to Hitler.

After he went to Britain in 1941 to negotiate for peace(Whether Hitler knew or not is debatable) Martin Bormann was elevated to "party chancellor", a position second only to Hitler himself. This granted Bormann exclusive power to grant or refuse access to Hitler.

Answer 2

Martin Bormann was Hitler's secretary and therefore controlled who saw Hitler and who didn't. He could be said to be the only man who really knew what Hitler was up to. Goering, Himmler and Gobbels all vied for deputy furher position but this was Hitler's method of control. He kept everyone guessing and played them each against the other. He had to make all the decisions because ultimately no one else knew if they had the authority or what would happen to them if they made a decision. Hitler had lots of cronies and sycophants but no right hand man or friends.

Answer 3

Hitler had a few important members in his circle, like cogs in the machine...here are the most notable.

Heinrich Himmler-Leader of the SS (this was Hitler's security force, much like our secret service/homeland security of today)
Hermann Goering-2nd in command of the Third Reich, Commander of the Luftwaffe(German Air Force)...Similar to DOD Secretary Rumsfeld & also VP Dick Cheney.
Hjalmar Schacht-Minister of Economics 1935-1937(still kept as an adviser until 1943....similar to Alan Greenspan/Fed Reserve Chairman).
Wilhelm Keitel-General field marshal, Supreme Command of the Armed Forces (Similar to Cheif of Staff of the Armed Forces).

Answer 4

If you mean the man who was picked to succeed Hitler, it was Martin Borhman or some such spelling. The others mentioned were in the cabinet but were not that close to Hitler. Hess was in a Britain prison, and Goerring was on the outs with Hitler when the war ended.

Answer 5

Hermann Goering was the Minister of Propaganda and Heinrich Himmler was chief of the Air Force (Luftwaffe..).
There are rumors that Himmler tried to get rid of Hitler before the end of the war, so one would suppose that his right hand man would be Hermann Goering.
Certainly not Rudolf Hess.

Answer 6

Martin Bormann. He allegedly escaped from the Bunker following Hitlers suicide. Many reports of being seen in South America and ultimately, so the story goes, apprehended and executed by the Israeli's, but it's never actually been proved!

Answer 7

Hitler's right hand man was Edmund Forster, The doctor who apparently cured Hitler of his blindness and later espoused Hitler in his views. The doctor was a victim of Hitler in the later years. Edmund Forster created Hitler. If you find the book The man who Invented Hitler..take hold of it...its a nice read . The man who invented Hitler was Edmund Forster.

Rudoplh Hess is supposedly a Third member of the Hitler gang....http://www.historyplace.com/worldwar2/biographies/hess-bio.htm

Answer 8

Heinrich Himmler, I believe... a field marshal, head of the SS. Too many of them to remember.... but I think Himmler did the dirty work.

I have a book on Hitler and his 'in group' of officers, but not where I can get at it.... it is about 600 miles away right now.

Answer 9

Rudolf Hess was the Vice -chancellor until he secretly flew to Britain in May 1941 to try to sign a peace treaty with nazi sympathisers in Britain ,. He was unsuccessful and spent the rest of his life in jail.

Answer 10

Himmler
