I didn't find any authentic document which attests that the August 1939 Gleiwitz incident(part of what some are today calling it 'Operation Himmler') was indeed ordered by(or at least foreknown to) Heinrich Himmler, Reinhard Heydrich or Heinrich Müller, other than the Nürnberg testimonies of Alfred Naujocks and Erwin von Lahousen.
About those witnesses:
So, there could be some questions:
Was Himmler aware that an 'Operation Himmler' using his name was in progress in 1939 ?
Was the Gleiwitz incident planned and put in scene by those anti-Nazi(undercover as Nazi) witnesses and the British MI6 ? (then they blamed Himmler & Co. for the event and their fake story appealed to the public and maybe to the American Court at Nürnberg, since they were blaming the Nazis, the scapegoat of that moment)
About those witnesses:
- Alfred Naujocks - deserted and surrendered to the Allies in October 1944
- Erwin von Lahousen - heard from Canaris about the attack at Gleiwitz; he participated together with Wilhelm Canaris in the 20 July 1944 plot against Hitler
- Wilhelm Canaris was collaborating with Ewald von Kleist-Schmenzin who secretly discussed with British MI6 the plots against Hitler, since 1938.
