The exact role that Himmler's personal staff played in the Holocaust has been a subject of debate with Karl Wolff claiming that the personal staff were little more than desk bound paper pushers.[5] However, given that most of Himmler's wishes and orders were distributed by his personal staff, Wolff would have been aware of significant events or could easily have access to the relevant information. Incriminating letters show that Wolff was involved in the Holocaust.[6]
