Note the report in column 2: "Himmler Aide Named Czech Chief; Drastic Measures Reported" |
(This report was mostly true. Konstantine von Neurath did not resign, but had his power striped from him by Adolf Hitler. This was because Hitler believed that von Neurath was far too lenient with the Czechs. He officially remained
Reichsprotektor in Böhmen und Mähren [Reich Protector of Bohemia and Moravia] in name only, until he resigned in Aug. of 1943. The report is the announcement that SS-Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich, was named deputy protector to von Neurath, in reality however, it was Heydrich who had the power. This promotion would begin a reign of terror and murder against the Czech people and would lead to one of the most famous assassinations of the war.) |
