Article about the General Heydrich assassination by Czech team. I advise everyone to watch the movie “Conspiracy” the HBO film and see how he coordinated the killing of millions of Jews and others in the Wansee meeting.
Just a WOW thing to see this in print from the day.
There’s a West German movie about the Wansee conference as well. Both are chilling.
Branaugh nailed Heydrich in “Conspiracy”. When he threatens attendees at the conference, he just uses his eyes. Other excellent cast members are Colin Firth as Stuckart, and Stanley Tucci as Eichmannn.
Hitler loved Heydrich, but the rest of the SS didn’t particularly mourn for him....there were rumors about possible Jewish blood, but he also had the goods on all of the Nazi bigwigs, so getting rid of him turned out to be “convenient” for many of the higher-ups, not the least of which was Himmler himself.
A good book on Wannsee Conference that I did a review on for Homer is called “The Wannsee Conference and the Final Solution: A Reconsideration” by Mark Roseman. It is short but it really tries to piece together the details of what actually went on at the Conference itself.
