OPERATION DAYBREAK
Killing Nazi Butcher
Reinhardt Heydric
German Brutality of World War 2
In
a time of barbarity, Reinhard Tristan Heydrich, “the Hangman,” stood
out as one of the cruelest and most brutal mass murderers in Nazi
Germany. Those who worked Heydrich feared him, as did those who were
unfortunate enough to be under his control. Heydrich's own protégé,
Walter Schellenberg, described him as a man with "a cruel, brave and
cold intelligence" for whom "truth and goodness had no intrinsic
meaning." On the side, Heydrich was a fencer, a musician and a pilot. As
his main job, Heydrich murdered thousands of Jews and other "enemies"
of the Reich.
