The Assasination of Reinhard Heydrich, Callum MacDonald, 2009-08-29Reinhard Eugen Tristan Heydrich, the butcher of Prague, was the secret power behind the throne in Nazi Germany. A disgraced former naval officer, he found a home in the SS security service, which he shaped into a terrifying weapon. He also chaired the Wansee conference which formalised the details of 'The Final Solution' of the Jewish Problem and from where the Holocaust REALLY began!
Feared by many Nazi leaders, Heydrich had 'the dirt' on all of them, so his assasination by Czech partisans/paratroopers flow in from England shook the Nazi hierachy. He was given a state funeral, but the village of Lidice was flattened in reprisal for his killing and many Czech patriots died because of his assasination. Without Heydrich at its' head, Nazi brutality had lost it's evil genius and driving force. No-one came as close as Heydrich to the title of 'The most thoroughly Evil man in the world.' The Czechs did a great thing!
