The official naration of Himmler's being taken into custody mentions that he was with two companions. Who were they and what was their fate?
Nobody expects the Fallschirm! Our chief weapon is surprise; surprise and fear; fear and surprise. Our 2 weapons are fear and surprise; and ruthless efficiency. Our *3* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency; and almost fanatical devotion

The two guys arrested with Himmler were his adjutants: Werner Grothmann and Heinz Macher.
They were denazified in the British Zone and released.

For a really full, chronological account see Peter Witte & Stephen Tyas, "Himmler's Diary 1945" now available on amazon.
Please buy a copy as I need to get my research costs back... (as one of the authors)

that's an excellent study, I'd strongly recommend it if you want to read about Himmler's last weeks/months
