主题：【原创】纳粹鹰犬海德里希 -- 史鉴

我查阅了英国学者Gerald Reitlinger的专著《The SS, Alibi of a Nation: 1922-1945》有关武装党卫队的章节，没有提到海德里希的作用。另外我手上的海德里希传记，也未见这方面的记载。你的文章对希特勒的分析比较准确，但对希姆莱就有些偏差，他早在1937年1月就策划把SSVT扩展到13个营。希特勒早在1935年就提出把SSVT部队训练成军事单位，同年3月，希姆莱在汉堡一个国防军军官聚会上宣布将组建武装党卫队，以防打起仗来国内敌对势力在“背后捅刀子”。显然武装党卫队的任务是对内，而不是对外。希特勒同年3月颁布的扩军计划，扩军36个师，其中一个师就是给党卫队的名额。但是这个计划遭到国防军的极大阻力。

关于希特勒对武装党卫队的态度，我摘录Reitlinger的一段原文如下，注意划线部分：

When Hitler issued this decree, he did not visualise a situation in which the mass of trained SS men would have to serve in the field. Nor had he in mind a war long enough for the SS units serving with the army to grow into divisions, army corps and even armies. Himmler, the Reichsfuehrer SS, was to command a unit of the party as a party disciplinarian and not as a soldier. Those who had destroyed Roehm and 'Roehmism' were not to step into Roehm's shoes. The decree of August 1938 was meant, however, to allay some of the suspicions of the army and it marked a relaxation of tension, one symptom of which was that young SS officers who had been trained at Bad Toelz and Brunswick were now seconded to the army for periods of six to twelve months. But Hitler continued till well into the war to remind the SS that they were not intended to be regular soldiers. In August 1940 he told them that they were intended to be an élite police force not exceeding five to ten per cent of the peacetime strength of the army; while in a fireside musing for Himmler's benefit in January 1942 he declared that it had been necessary to send the SS to the front, simply in order to maintain their prestige. In peacetime the SS must lose their military status.
