I heard somewhere the Heinrich Himmler had clubfoot.
Is that true?

You are probably thinking of Goebbels.

No. It was Himmler.
I didn't think that they were right and meant Goebbles, too.
Thank you! :D

Very unlikely

Very unlikely- he qualified for and received the Deutsches Reichssportabzeichen in Silber and the SA-Sportabzeichen in Bronze. There is a rather funny photo of a very-unathletic-looking Reichsheini in SS sports shirt and shorts performing the shotput portion of the physical examination.

Best,

No not Himmler,....but Goebbles did for sure. Although Himmler could have used a club in the head. :D

I think the picture of Himmler is a fake! It looks like his head has been added to another body. Don't really think Himmler would have done this, think of his image!!!!

DID HIMMLER HAVE A CLUBFOOT

Definately a fake. Judging by the size of his head to the rest of his body he'd be the only person in the world to put a pullover on feet first :D

Photo faker

#12

Post by Matt Gibbs » 04 May 2003, 22:20

Must have faked a whole series of the photos then because i have seen several of the RfSS doing this sort of thing, I guess he wasn't happy but there ya go. There's even one somewhere of him doing pistol practice isn't there..? Might have been in a recent Schiffer book

Understand what you are saying, I'm sure Himmler did take part in sports and pistol shooting, BUT the photo shown I think is faked. His head looks too big for the body.
