The H.P.B. Biography by Sylvia Cranston, revised edition, has an error on
page
597 conc. to EN 124. The text runs: "The Reichsfuhrer [Adolf Hitler]..."

In fact the title "Reichsfuhrer" (with umlaut - two points over the "u")
belonged not to Hitler but to Himmler. Hitler himself was called "The
Fuhrer"
(with umlaut, too). In detail, the official title of Heinrich Himmler from
June
17, 1936 on was "Reichsfuhrer-SS und Chef der deutschen Polizei". Already
"Reichsfuhrer SS" since January, 6, 1929, but chief of the police he got
not
before 1936. Source: Ludwig Peters, Volkslexikon des Drittes Reich,
Tubingen,
1994.

Anyone should be so glad to inform both the author and the publisher or
give me
the addresses.
