In "Night of the Generals", Tanz[Peter O'Toole] goes from the Wehrmacht to the Waffen SS between the part in Poland, and his divisional command in France. I was never aware he was modeled on Reinhard Heydrich. Could you provide a source for that?

No source. I noticed several similarities that lead me to believe this, i.e. Tanz commands tanks in battle / Heydrich goes flying in a combat aircraft and nearly gets killed, both are tall blond models of Aryan manhood, both are sociopathic killers, etc. Maybe the author didn't mean to model Tanz on Heydrich but there are sure a lot of coincidental likenesses.
