Grave of top Nazi leader Reinhard Heydrich opened in Berlin
BBC ^ | 12-16-19 | BBC

Posted on 12/16/2019 4:48:49 PM PST by dynachrome

Berlin police are trying to find out who opened the unmarked grave of SS officer Reinhard Heydrich, a top Nazi killed by Czechoslovak agents in 1942.

An employee at the Invalids' Cemetery in central Berlin found on Thursday that the grave had been opened.

No bones were removed, police say.

Heydrich was a key organiser of Nazi Germany's mass murder of European Jews. He chaired the Wannsee Conference in January 1942, where Hitler's genocidal "Final Solution" was planned.

Tampering with a grave can be prosecuted under a German law against "grave defilement".

If the bones weren’t removed, maybe something else was...?

The best book I’ve read on this is “The Killing of SS Obergruppenfuhrer Reinhard Heydrich” by Callum MacDonald.

Reads like a gripping spy novel.

But when it comes to reprisals nobody was as brutal to the Germans as Czechs after the war.

Cue the small violins for the NAZIs/Germans. The Sudenten Germans, who were most affected by the Czechs deserved to be expelled. They were all in for Hitler and his crowd.

Would you blame them?

And then the Czech Communists were brutal to non-Communists.

I truly believe this would be Schiff if he were ever free to do as he wanted. That man scares me. Along with Comey and Brennan. Brennan has the FACE of a criminal. A freaking MEAN criminal.

I just wondered as I had never heard of anyone desecrating his grave.

He was never anything but an honorable solder.

Hope they don't move him again. Let the poor fellow have some rest!

Yes, the Brits (the non Communist Brit MI-6 that is) did support the entire Czech resistance op. Excellent movie on the subject... great acting and terrible ending.

A study on the Leftist Socialists who took over Germany, from the majority Commies they had spawned from the Kaiser’s support of Lenin’s Bolsheviks (to “win” wwI which they of course did not— the blowback was phenomenal on germany, so within the FreiKorps veterans, the “national” socialists took power with the criminally insane hitler a their head).

Canaris was Abwehr— the Prussian side of the Army tried to take hitler out— Valkyrie. To no avail and a lot of piano wire. Such a disgusting time for proud German patriots trying to recover their country. Will have to re-read Shirer’s “Rise and Fall.....” section on this. Revealing.

Yes, the lack of success in Israel is due in large part to the Commie loving Israeli factions, who cannot admit there were Christians who helped Jews escape the Leftist Socialist Nazis. To do so spoils their Commie narrative, since Stalin— that the Nazis were Right Wing, and were anti-Jew Christians (broad brush propaganda they have used for 50 years, and still today. Especially effective on self-hating jew-ish non practitioners, who like to lambaste Christians in the US who are pro-Israel).

Yeah that is a great one-— the classic bullcrap line that all the poor schlub’s kept saying to themselves— “If only Stalin knew.....!” he would do something etc.

The sad story of the little orphan jewish girl neighbor, his childless wife’s adoption, misery, and her suicide over the misery of Stalin’s “paradise” .

Actor: Tom Hulce as projectionist Sanchin
And a truly believable Beria played by Bob Hoskins.

Here you go, for later, in English with spanish subtitles:

Kretschmann was also in the German movie “Stalingrad”, and the Russian movie “Stalingrad”.

True. Am reminded of the basis of the Czech military spy character in LeCarre’s “The Perfect Spy”.... the BBC production.

Magnus Pym meets a “Sudeten German Czech” “artist” in Switzerland who is there as a “refugee” protected by Swiss for the reprisals carried out on Sudeten Germans. As in, the Swiss Bankers still had (and do now, for that matter) billions in Reich gold and siezed assets in private accounts, some of the seizures from Sudetenland Czechs and the former government they aided the Nazis in murdering and theft. That is the “character” he is portrayed to the “brit” he is assigned to meet and C0-opt (and does). “just another german war vet conscripted from Czech”. And.. a perfect KGB/GRU true Communist.

It is a great story and production. Magnus’ story as a con artist’s kid... etc.

Motivations of people as political, and the horror they can realize on us Freedom loving people.

The dude that plays him in “Death of Stalin” is pure pervert, and squealing pig as one of Kruychkov’s men dispatches him after having his sentence read and passed on him.

Excellent black humor and, taken from Kruschev’s son’s memoirs. It happened.... “burn you slimy “f.....k” as Kruschev threw the match on Beria’s gas soaked body.
The incoming “reforming” Communist.... etc.

There was a movie about “Operation Stone”, which was a fake border set up by the Czech Communists to catch people trying to escape. It was made to look like a US Army installation, complete with English speaking Czech Agents dressed in US Army Uniforms.

They would get the escapees to confess as to who helped them escape, and then arrest them.

The guy who played Beria in “Stalin” was really creepy.

“Comrade Stalin, has revoked his promise”

Yeah... that is probably still how they roll in border country with chi-coms, iran, india etc.

Another technique to study is the “Moscow rules” tradecraft, which they still use. When so done, very hard to catch.

Opening episodes of Smiley’s People... etc. chalk marks, drops etc. (all episodes on you tub... amazingly, Alec Guinness).

Thing is— Ohr’s wife (working to Brennan) used a ham radio to comm with his ‘boys’. Thinking NSA wouldn't have that— inside DC..... wrong! But it speaks to crude Russians who own Brennan, and hitlery’s “reset” button Vlad thought he had her... and obamaumao. The denouement of this yet to be revealed, in the “impeachment-cover for the coup/coup”. Careful declass (that won't queer indictments) might be done (after the indicts, facts in hand) and reveal every single a@@hole in obamaumao's "team" who "unmasked" 100's of Americans well beyond the "Trump" surveill for hitlery. Prayers this can be revealed. Samantha Powers at the UN-- her assignment gladly carried out thinking no one would know- nor would they if hitlery had been "installed".
