...Reinhard Tristan Eugen Heydrich (7 March 1904 – 4 June 1942) was an SS-Obergruppenführer and General der Polizei, chief of the Reich Main Security Office (including the Gestapo, SD and Kripo Nazi police agencies) and Stellvertretender Reichsprotektor (Deputy Reich-Protector) of Bohemia and Moravia. When the Nazis moved the headquarters of Interpol to Berlin in 1942, he was appointed and served as President of that international law enforcement agency. Heydrich chaired the 1942 Wannsee Conference, which discussed plans for the deportation and extermination of all Jews in German-occupied territory. He was attacked by Czech assassins in Prague on 27 May 1942 and died slightly over a week later from complications arising from his injuries. Read full entry

Reinhard Heydrich. . . . . ?
It's my understanding that his
wife and both children
survived WWII. What has
happened to them?

In December 1930 Heydrich met Lina Mathilde von Osten (14 June 1911 - 14 August 1985). She was the daughter of Jürgen von Osten, a minor German aristocrat. They were married on 26 December 1931 in Großenbrode. The couple had four children: Klaus,born June 17, 1933; Heider, born December 28, 1934; Silke, born April 9, 1939; and Marte, born shortly after her father's death on July 23, 1942. In 1943, Klaus was killed in a traffic accident in Jungfern-Breschan on October 24, 1943. In 1944, Lina Heydrich had Heider removed from the Hitler Youth out of fear that he might meet the same fate as his father. . According to historian Jaroslav Čvančara, Heydrich had an additional child with a mistress, a leader of the League of German Girls (BDM). At the end of the war, Heydrich's widow returned to the island of Fehmarn with her surviving children. She owned and ran a hotel and restaurant. The Finnish theatre director and poet Mauno Manninen (1915-1969) was a frequent guest at the hotel. He took pity on the difficulties she experienced as a result of her infamous name and offered to marry her to enable her to change it. They married in 1965 but did not live together. She died on August 14, 1985. According to some discussions on the Axis History Forum in 2004-2005, his son Heider is a retired engineer in the Bavarian city of Wörthsee. He does not talk about his father. Some time in the 1980s, Heider was one of the "Geschaeftsfuehrer" (directors) the subsidiary Dornier-Reparaturwerft GmbH, which was active in maintenance and repair of aircraft. Heydrich's daughter Marte still lives on Fehmarn and is an owner of a fashion shop in the city of Burg. The site also gives a photo of Lina Heydrich's tomb. As of 2008, Heider, Marte and Silke are reported to still be alive. |

Why was Reinhard Heydrich so Heydrich was a cruel and
heartless person, but that
doesn't mean he was idiotic
enough to travel without an
armed escort. Did he really
believe that no one would
attack him? Or did something
else prompt him to do this?

He probably lived for revenge yes. As stated in an earlier post |

the assasination of the german

find much information, could
someone help in finding some.
Thanks
