The Mischlinge part, that would be his half Jewish ancestry has never
been proven. As far as I am concerned, his alleged Judean ancestry is of of
marginal importance. He was an altar boy and a helpful volunteer in his Church.
He remained a practicing Catholic until 1936 when he formally renounced
Catholicism because it "clashed" with the principles of the NSDAP, the National
Socialist Deutsche Arbeit Partei. That shows a certain coherence and
intellectual honesty if you will. He had realized as the Super spy that he was,
that the Catholic Church would be a formidable foe. He considered them as
dangerous as Jews, Communists, Bolsheviks and Freemasons.
On numerous occasions he went out of his way to assist and/protect Jews. For
instance, one of his dueling partners in the fencing competitions was a Dutch
Jew. After the national competitions ended in glory for him and his team,
Heydrich granted him, his family and all his relatives the necessary papers to
travel to Portugal and then to Canada. There was nothing personal in the way he
hunted down Jews or other enemies of the Reich. It was purely professional.
Canaris survived because Heydrich admired and liked him. His exploits during WWl
had left an imprint on the adolescent Heydrich. He was also one of Heydrich's
mentors in the Navy. He never forgot Admiral Canaris's loyalty towards him when
the Naval High Command voted for Heydrich's ouster from the Navy. Canaris and
several Admirals voted in his favor. The naval industrial complex wanted him
out. He had dared to break a relationship with the whacked out daughter of a
powerful naval contractor. He loved Lina instead.
Mlitary and Naval Intelligence run by Admiral Canaris was " like a sieve". He
also suspected Canaris of being a Bolshevik agent. At best, a secret Marxist
-Stalinist. This was long before Heydrich joined the NSDAP and organized the SS,
SD, RHSA, and Interpol. Eventually, he also took over the Gestapo which had been
in the hands of Goering, a morphine addict. Heydrich was such an overwhelming
personality although he stayed in the shadows that his Secret Services received
most of the money from Hitler. Canaris had to manage with a shoe string budget.
"Sometimes there is no need to kill a rival. Just clip his wings sharply."
Heydrich did not think much of the "Nazi" party. He joined only in 1931 although
Lina, his wife and most of his friends had become members in the mid to late
twenties. He thought Hitler and Himmler's almost subservient attitude towards
the occult, ridiculous.
There is no proof that he ever ordered the gassing of prisoners in the
concentration camps. He had always disliked the fact that Himmler did not give
him any jurisdiction inside the camps. Heydrich held sway over who was admitted
in the camps and who was released. What occurred inside was left to Theodore
Eicke"s decisions.Himmler had been aware for sometime that he depended on
Heydrich. Heydrich ran the SS,SD RSHA and INTERPOL.He made sure Himmler received
the glory but everyone in Hitler's inner circle, especially Borman knew
otherwise.
That changed when he became Reichsprotektor of Bohemia-Moravia. Borman played a
crucial role in this. He wanted Heydrich away from Hitler. This backfired
because Heydrich as a pilot asked and received from Hitler two airplanes, which
enabled him to fly to Berlin with his "Brainstormers" as often as Hitler and/or
he wished. What became intolerable was that Hitler and Heydrich met alone in his
office at the Chancellery. No one was ever present. This was a political post
and it made him the most powerful man in Europe,( supposedly after Hitler) I
have my doubts. Heydrich, as the greatest Spymaster knew too much about his
enemies and Hitler, Borman, et al. You are bang on, on this , Henry. Certainly
he had the power of life and death over any citizen in Bohemia-Moravia ( now the
Czech Republic). He was a successful political leader of an occupied country
and gave many carrots and few sticks.
He did order the arrest of Oskar "the Swindler" Schindler as well as that of
Alfred Goering, younger brother of Hermann Goering, for war profiteering ,
smuggling and hoarding. They were Germans but Heydrich did not make distinctions
between foreign and German criminals. Hermann Goering, Head of the Luftwaffe
ran to Hitler and begged for his intercession.. Hitler asked Heydrich to
overturn the arrest which carried a death penalty. Heydrich deported both
Schindler and Goering to Poland and banned them from ever setting foot on
Bohemia-Moravia, under pain of arrest and death by hanging. All this changed
after Heydrich's death in 1942.
Kristalnacht was NOT Heydrich's idea. He wrote to Joseph Goebbels and defined
it" a blatantly stupid and useless act of violence which can only hurt our image
abroad." It was Goebbels who unleashed Kristalnacht. Heydrich was so furious
that he ordered the SS to stop the destruction as much as possible.
We do have documents signed by Heydrich during Operation Barbarossa - the war on
the Russia front, ordering his Einsatzgruppen to execute all Jewish Bolsheviks
and their sympathizers in every village in the USSR- Union of Soviet Socialist
Russia.
The bomb attack against Heydrich in Prague, appeared to be the work of Czech
partisans parachuted from Scotland by the SOE - Special Operations Executive,
headed by Sir Victor Rothschild. In actual fact, the partisans primary loyalty
was to Stalin. who feared Heydrich would remove Hitler and work on a peace deal
with Lavrenti Beria his Chief of Intelligence and Terror; who would then purge
him and take the reins of power.
Though wounded, Heydrich engaged his attackers in a fierce gun fight forcing
them to abandon their attack and take flight. He survived the attack and had his
spleen removed. Supposedly he died of septicemia six days later. He did not
trust Czech and German doctors. Hitler sent his personal physician but Heydrich
considered him a quack. He had his own scientists and Tibetan monks look after
him. I have always suspected poison by the German doctors who kept this vital
piece of information from Hitler. I see the hand of Borman, Goering and Goebbels
all over this, with Borman as chief instigator of the Conspiracy.I tend to see
eye to eye with you on this matter.
When Hitler behaved AS IF HEYDRICH WOULD BE HIS DESIGNATD SUCCESSOR ( Heydrich
had been appointed Viceroy of France, granting him yet more political power
which would not be centered in Berlin) he set off many symbiotic forces which
allied themselves in order to remove Heydrich who knew "too much" . He surely
was the Spy Master and Puppet Master of the Third Reich, and not only the Third
Reich. I doubt that in his heart of hearts he was anyone's Yes man, regardless
of the circumstances or appearances. Whether he was partly Juden or entirely
Catholic, does not matter in the panorama of his actions.
It must be pointed out that his death was the first significant victory of the
Allies, albeit a psychological one . It rent the invulnerability of the NSDAP.
No one in the Allied Media ever mentioned that Heydrich was riding in an open
car, his Mercedes slowed down and then stopped to allow the trolley to pass, he
was not wearing a protective vest, and lastly, he had refused bullet proofing/armor
plating his car How could he not know that there was a plot to assassinate him?.
Did he prefer to die in a blaze of glory? That is why he remains an enigma to
this day.
