Some names will remain, however, indelibly printed in the records and the memories of future generations. Adolf Hitler's political protestations against certain sections of twentieth-century European society developed into a national policy once he achieved his grip on power. His vision of a Europe free of these 'undesirables' almost became a reality. In Heinrich Himmler, Hitler had a loyal servant, only too willing to sell his soul to the Devil to please his master. Himmler's SS organization was the ideal tool to execute Hitler's plans, and what better administrator than the intelligent and obedient ex-naval officer who directed the Reich security police? From an early age, Reinhard Heydrich was determined to succeed at every challenge he encountered. An ambitious sportsman, a loving family man, and a ruthless executive, Heydrich possessed all the qualities necessary to carry out Hitler's policy in Himmler's name. The book illustrates the life of the architect of genocide, his background, his upbringing, his family, and his career, which developed into engineering one of the greatest crimes in history"--Inside dust jacket. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 265-268). 600 10 $a Heydrich, Reinhard, $d 1904-1942. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945. 650 0 $a Nazis $v Biography. 610 20 $a Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiter-Partei. $b Schutzstaffel 600 17 $a Heydrich, Reinhard, $d 1904-1942. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00019851 610 27 $a Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiter-Partei. $b Schutzstaffel $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00537326 611 27 $a World War (1939-1945) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180924 648 7 $a 1939-1945 $2 fast 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190806075018.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1289B8A89C8F11E981649E3E97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
