		Harrer built a cinema for him, though a showing of Laurence Olivier's Henry V was not an unqualified success, the assembled abbots being embarrassed by scenes of wooing.
		Harrer maintained that he had only once worn his SS uniform, on the occasion of his wedding in December 1938; but the revelations of his Nazi associations caused reactions varying from unease to outrage, and led to some changes being made to the film and to the marketing campaign.
		Harrer married secondly, in 1953 (dissolved 1958), Margarethe Truxa, and thirdly, in 1962 Katharina Haarhaus.

	OBITUARY: HEINRICH HARRER Independent, The (London) - Find Articles
		Harrer, one of the heroes of the first ascent of the North Wall of the Eiger, was amongst his own kind, mountaineers with a keen appreciation of the audacity and climbing genius deployed over those four days in 1938 on the infamous 'Mordwand'.
		Harrer's second great adventure, recounted in his book Sieben Jahre in Tibet (Seven Years in Tibet, 1953), had been turned into a Hollywood epic just a year before, with Brad Pitt as the good-looking Austrian hero who escaped from internment in British India to become a tutor to the Dalai Lama.
		Harrer's bestsellers, The White Spider and Seven Years in Tibet, make no mention of these murky issues, save for a Delphic denial that the Eiger was climbed on the orders or even at the wish 'of some personage or other'.
