Blodflagsbæreren

SS-Obergruppenfuhrer Reinhard Heydrich was one of the most feared men in the Nazi Empire and one of the main architects of The Holocaust. Even Adolf Hitler described him as “The man with the iron heart”. In the SS he was number two to Reichsfuhrer Heinrich Himmler and the founding head of the SD (Sicherheitsdienst) the intelligence gathering organization set up to seek out and destroy any kind of opposition to the Nazi Party...both at home and abroad. In September 1941 he was appointed Reichsprotektor of Bohemia and Moravia, the former Czechoslovakia. On 27 May 1942 he was attacked and wounded by Czech parachutists sent by the Government in exile in London. He died from his wounds on 4 June 1942. A bloody retribution followed. This figure shows Heydrich in his prewar black SS uniform. - See more at: http://www.kingandcountry.com/black-heydrich-p-9218.html#sthash.1KxXFL72.dpuf
