this is one of the turning points in the book. setting aside the probably overdramatisation of the situation, I think it’s one of the first times that kersten stops seeing himmler merely as a patient to be cured, and starts seeing him as an opportunity.
although I don't really blame him for what he did (after all, kersten saved thousands of lives thanks to it) that doesn't change the fact that he took advantage of someone who was physically and emotionally vulnerable and in need of his help :(((
look at his doctor dawwggg 😭🙏

#heinrich himmler#dr. felix kersten#sorry for the yap but they are so complex and interesting#like it broke my heart everytime heinrich said kersten was the only person he could trust#or everything he did just for his approval(? in some way#i don't hate felix!! i understand him but being a doctor and playing with your patient's health like that is kinda off to me
