The fate of Globochnik and history, as he was pursued by Heinrich Müller, are little known to historians. But even the few information collected about Odilo speaks of many true events at that time. And the “final decision” in the fate of the Jewish people - this meant the planned extermination of people. This is what Globochnik did, being in high posts in Nazi Germany.

Odilo Globocnik committed suicide. In extreme cases, he always had a cyanide ampoule with him. He saw through it, while in the Alpine hospital, after the British arrested him.
Trace left in the culture
Odilo Globochnik, whose photo is in this article, was nicknamed the Globe. He became the main and negative hero in the novel Vaterland by R. Harris. In the book, He was the SS Obergruppenführer, who personally conducted an operation to complete the Jewish question and further clean up this nation, so unloved by the Germans.
Although in the role of a secondary character, Globochnik appears in the book of G. Tartldava. In the novel, Odilo was inscribed under his age and name. But what is happening in the book is dated 2010. Therefore, the real Globocnik, who was born in 1904, could not become the protagonist of the novel, but only as a distant prototype.
