Added a few more names while transcribing, so the initial number I gave in the OP is already off. Sorry. Anyway, any other names to put up?

I found a convenient list of Gauleiters and their fates (Nazi Party regional branch leaders, second only to Reichsleiters). They could practically pad out the list on their own, as there were 44 of them. But I still feel like I'm missing some other really important people more worthy of those spots.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Gauleiters

> Of the 44 former Gauleiter of the NSDAP thirteen committed suicide when Nazi Germany surrendered, eight were executed by the allies after the war, one was executed by the SS and one died in Soviet captivity. By 1954, when Karl Wahl became the first former Gauleiter to publish his memoirs, eight were still missing, three in jail and the remaining ten were free men.

Ernst "Putzi" Hanfstaengl, close friend to Hitler and head of the Foreign Press Bureau. Defected in '37 after likely being set up to die by Hitler.

Keep in mind it's not a ranked list (yet), I'm just trying to list them first. Plus I'm not sure how to directly compare the ranks of people in different organizations.

Thanks. Adding him to the list.

>>2902328
Himmler wasn't really part of Hitler's inner circle the way Goebbels and Goering were and apparently interacted with him very little.

High up in the power structure doesn't necessarily mean inner circle. Just thought I'd correct that.

>>2904284
I thought Himmler got so high in the first place due to nepotism?

>fat lardos in military uniforms

Bumparoo.

>>2902328
Goebbels should be #2

>Agriculture minister Walter Darré once visited Göring as the Reichsmarschall’s valet was dressing him. A second servant presented a cushion on which lay 12 rings—four each of red, blue, and green. “Today, I am displeased,” Göring told Darré with no small amount of campiness. “So we shall wear a deeper hue. But we also desire to show that we are not beyond hope. So we shall wear the green.” On another occasion, a woman invited to tea found the Luftwaffe commander wearing a toga, jewel-encrusted sandals, and rouged lips.
Goring is fucking hilarious quite frankly

Speer dedicated his like to dindu nuffin, Doenitz wrote a book about the Battle of The Atlantic and that's about it, it really varied from person to person, some of the SS guys were pretty fucked
