The life and times of Reinhard Heydrich

About this book

The efficient and coldly ruthless Reinhard Heydrich was in many respects the most sinister of the Nazis. He had no known eccentricities remarkable personality traits or even character defects-- except two: He was tormented by the possibility that he might be Jewish and as one of the top three officials in both the Gestapo and the SD (Secret Service) he was probably responsible for more evil acts than any other Nazi but one. He was feared even by the other Nazi leaders-- again except for Hitler. As Eichmanns boss and probably the chief architect of the "final solution " he was the epitome of the Nazi.
