They are bizarre lines that are repeated 34 times.

Written neatly on a piece of paper.

The terrifying piece of paper is now being auctioned off.

Birmingham - It looks like a punishment for a rude schoolboy.

On May 21, 1945, Nazi leader Heinrich Himmler wrote the sentence “I should take the cleaning device with me” on a note.

Neatly, in ink, over and over again, line by line.

There is a remarkable story behind this sample of writing.

They may be the last lines written by the mass murderer.

Heinrich Himmler: 34 lines convicted mass murderers

With this piece of paper, suspicious British soldiers convicted Heinrich Himmler without a doubt.

The SS Reichsfuhrer and one of those primarily responsible for the Holocaust wanted to go into hiding after the Second World War, but was caught in Bremervörde.

Disguised as a simple soldier, he used forged papers to pretend to be Sergeant Heinrich Hizinger.

After the handwriting test, Himmler committed suicide with a poison capsule.

The note is now being auctioned off at the Richard Winterton auction house and is expected to fetch up to 6,000 euros.

Hundreds of private letters, notes and photos from the Nazi leader surfaced in Tel Aviv in 2014.

According to historians, the Reichsfuhrer SS, Himmler's official title, is second only to Adolf Hitler in the power structure of the National Socialists.

A Munich auction house wanted to auction bizarre Nazi objects in 2016.

Munich Mayor Dieter Reiter wanted to prevent this auction at the time.
