Himmler felt threatened by the ever increasing influence…
““Himmler felt threatened by the ever increasing influence of Maria Orsic, and on two occasions told Adolf Hitler that she is not to be trusted because she is unstable, and she has close ties to the Jews. Himmler also mentioned the name of Princess Stephanie von Hohenlohe. Little did he know that Princess Stephanie was a close friend to Hitler who showered her with gifts. In fact, Hitler overlooked her Jewish roots, and gave her a castle in Austria as token of his admiration for her beauty and her services to the Reich as a spy extraordinaire. On Orsic, Hitler simply said: We need her for the time being but keep an eye on her…” and he added, “I don’t trust secret societies…” Himmler, SS General Jakob Sporrenberg, and SS General Hans Kammler kept Maria Orsic in isolation, and prevented her from having access to Adolf Hitler.””
