Hi Mark, I can recommend: Himmler's Diary 1945. A Calendar of Events Leading to Suicide by Peter Witte and Stephen Tyas. You will find these last days described by small bits and peaces from interrogations, memories and others sources.

See also "Heinrich Himmler. A Photo History of the Reichsführer-SS" published by Fonthill. It not only provides what you are looking for, but also has photos to complement the story.

I found "Himmler" by Manvell and Fraenkel to be an interesting read. Written in the 60s, they did interview numerous eye-witnesses to his last days, including Kiermaier.

As joint author of "Himmler's Diary 1945" it does include all the timelines you might want using interrogations of the time including those of Kiermaier, Macher and Rudolf Brandt for his final days in May 1945.

I have been using this site Biblio for quite awhile buying old history editions, mainly out of print on the Holocaust.Is a very easy site to use.But my wifey is an Amazon Prime diehard and she said to use her account and buy my books from Amazon dealers on her account., EWh, will think about that.I wqent to our AHF Support the forum by buying books thread, could not figure out how it works to help fund AHF operations

Thanks for the support. Unfortunately I don't think I will ever get the research costs back.
