Welcome at History of War Magazine Issue 124, 2023

Hitler reportedly described Reinhard Heydrich as “the man with the iron heart” – this coming from the Nazi leader himself gives an awful sense of the man also known as the ‘butcher’ and ‘hangman’. However, even these brutal epithets don’t fully represent a man whose horrific rise through the Nazi ranks was laced with underhanded deceptions, shadowy dealings and calculated power plays. Heydrich was also one of the chief architects of the Holocaust, though he did not live to see his genocidal plans carried out, and his death was tragically followed by yet more slaughter. When Heydrich was assassinated by SOE agents in 1942, Hitler ordered widespread reprisals, massacring two entire villages and reportedly murdering thousands of resistance fighters and civilians.
