Reinhard Heydrich(1904-1942)

In 1895, 9 years before he was born, his father, Bruno Heydrich, a composer, wrote an opera, the lead character of which was to provide the inspiration for his first name - its ironic title was "Reinhard's Crime".

We must work on ourselves. We must anchor and maintain the eternal foundations of the ideology transmitted to us by The Leader [Adolf Hitler] in unprecedented self-discipline. To protect our Folk, we must be hard on our enemies even at the risk of hurting individual enemies from time to time, and being criticized for our unrestrained brutality from otherwise well-meaning people. No one will excuse us, no one will plead extenuating circumstances on our behalf, if we fail in our historical mission due to overobjectivity or excessive humanitarianism! It will simply be said that we failed in our historical mission.
