United Kingdom
Anthony Eden 1897-1977
In 1935
he became
foreign secretary
at the
extraordinarily
early age of 38,
although he resigned
within three years,
in protest
at Neville Chamberlain's
appeasement policy
towards Germany.
While he always had
an awkward relationship
with that other prominent
anti-appeaser,
Winston Churchill,
the latter's elevation
to the premiership
in
May 1940
restored Eden
to the Foreign Office.
In 1940-1945,
and again
in 1951-1955,
Eden was not only
Churchill's
foreign
secretary,
but also his acknowledged
and uncontested
successor
as leader
of the Conservative Party.
However,
he grew resentful
at Churchill's
refusal to step down
and by the time
he finally succeeded
Churchill
in April 1955,
he was already suffering
from poor health.

By June 1941,
when Germany
invaded
the Soviet Union,
Himmler controlled
not only
the police
but the political
administration
of the occupied territories
and, through
his control of
the
SS,
the concentration camp
system.
In 1943,
Hitler appointed
Himmler
minister for the interior.
In this post
he oversaw
the
'Final Solution'
- the attempt
to exterminate
all the Jewish people
in Europe -
and administered
the system
of forced labour.
