Himmler financed the SS through confiscated Jewish property and arbitrage deals

Evidence

Himmler first financed his SS troops, who were the cadres of the Nazi secret police, through the confiscation of Jewish property; he then concluded an agreement with Darre, the Minister of Agriculture, by which Himmler received the several hundred million marks which Darre earned annually by buying agricultural commodities cheaply abroad and selling them at fixed prices in Germany. — Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism, 957

Categorization

• ADDENDUM: The confiscation-of-Jewish-property financing mechanism is a concrete antecedent to how exclusion is economically self-reinforcing — relevant to the sacrifice/exploitation logic of administered victimhood.
