Do you know why Heinrich Himmler died? Well i am going to explain that to you in my essay.Do you know what Operation Torch was? Well i am also going to explain that to you. Did you know that thousands of people were killed during the Babi Yar massacre. Well if you read this you will find out all the great answers to your questions. ( Jewish Virtual Library.)
By 1941 there was a focus on the function of Einsatzgruppen it had changed significantly. With Operation Barbarossa, the mobile killing units were operated over a wide area of Eastern Europe from the Baltic to the Black sea. (Jewish Virtual Library.)
Einsatzgruppen had four main divisions A,B,C,D. The commander of all these groups was Heydrich. Every village rounded up all the Jewish and transported them to a wooded area to do Jewish labor. The men, children and women were stripped down shot and burried. It was one of the most brutal massacres ever. Thats how it got the name Babi Yar. It was near Ukrainian city if Kiev. (Jewish Virtual Library.)
Kiev contained a population of 175,000 on the eve of the Nazi invasion of the soviet union in 1941. The Nazi forces captured the city in September on the 29th and 30th. Nearly 34,000 Jews of the Ghetto were brought to a suburban ravine known as Babi Yar. In months most of the remaining population was exterminated. (Jewish Virtual Library.)
In July, 1942 Franklin D Roosvevelt and Winston Churchchill decided that the allies should open a second front to help the red army fighting in the soviet union. Joseph Stalin favored an invasion of Northwest Africa. The code name was Operation Torch. Supreme General Eisenhower was allied commander of the invasion. (Operation Torch.)
There was over 100,000 Vichy troops stationed in Algeria, Morocco and Tunishia. They wanted the french troops not to resist the allied invasion. Eisenhower on Novemebr 7th had a secret meeting in Gibraltar with General Henri Giraud. Eisenhower explained operation Torch to him and persuaded him to be the commander of french forces in Morocco and Tunishia after the invasion of North Africa was done. (Operation Torch.)
Hitler threatened Henri Philippe Petain that if his troops did not resist that Hitlers German Army in Tunishia. (Operation Torch.)
Heinrich Himmler was born near Munich, Germany on October 7th 1900. He was the son of a Catholic schoolmaster. He was educated at Landshut High School. It was during the First World War that Himmler joined the 11th Bavarian. By the end of that he had become an oficer cadet in the German Army. After World War One Himmler was active in the Freikorps. He had also joined the national socialist German workers party. And in 1923 was in the Munich Putsch. (Jewish Virtual Library.)
After all that in 1928 Himmler got married and became a poulty farmer. During that he also joined the Sturm Abteilung and was a devout follower of Adolf Hitler. Himmler believed that Hitler was the Messiah that was designed to lead Germany to greatness. In 1929 Hitler decided that Himmler should become the new leader of his personal bodyguard, the Schutzsaffel. (Jewish Virtual Library.)
When Himmler joined the SS they had only 280 members. With the agreement of Hitler Himmler expanded the SS. Himmler was there vetting all aplicants to make sure they were all good \' Aryan \' types. When the Nazi party gained power in 1933 Himmlers SS group had grown to the strength of 52,000. By the time that happend he had made head of the German political Police outside Prussia. When Hitler found out on the 28th of April that Himmler had been trying to contact with the allies, he ordered his arrest. Himmler took the name and documents of a dead village policeman. Even thought he was in heavy disduise, Himmler was arrested by a British army officer in Bremen on May 22nd. Before he could get interrogated, Himmler commited suicide by swallowing a cyanide capsule. ( Jewish Virtual Library.)
Well since you have read my essay you know that Heinrich Himmler died by commiting suicide by taking a cyanide capsule. Operation Torch was invading Nrthern Africa. And Babi Yar killed about 35,000 men, women, and children. (Jewish Virtual Library.)

B-
Rachel,
You have good information, and you have cited your sources. It is important that you also edit to make sure that all of your words are spelled correctly. The word I is not spelled with a lower case i. It is always spelled with an uppercase when spelled correctly. The are a few other spelling errors. Check it over again. Now, the conclusion needs work you were to restate your thesis in a different way in the conclusion, and elaborate what the call to action should be and why. All you have here is your points briefly reiterated. This is a weak conclusion. Before you upload this onto your WOIS site you need to edit your paper and zip up your conclusion.
