Episode 255: Tug of war (8)
Himmler was far from the type that everyone liked.
Himmler's personal desire for power was one thing, but the fact that he, who had a typical Mongolian appearance and was more interested in pure Aryan blood with blond hair than anyone else in the Nazi Party, was a laughing stock not only in the Wehrmacht, which was not on good terms with the SS, but also in the Nazi Party and even within the SS.
As World War II broke out and the SS established major positions on various fronts, Himmler's position also increased, but there was no significant change in the public's disapproval of him.
Among them was Heydrich, the blond beast, a talent personally selected by Himmler.
In fact, Heydrich regarded Himmler with the greatest disdain in Germany.
He's like a simpleton who often talks about the superiority of the Germanic people and the need to maintain pure Aryan blood, but doesn't even look at himself in the mirror.
What kind of SS leader can he be, saying that the SS must absolutely obey orders and be ruthless in order to complete their mission, but when he actually saw the execution by firing squad, he was so shocked that he almost fainted?
For a bastard like that, even the title of SS second lieutenant, let alone SS imperial leader, was a waste.
That was Heydrich's evaluation of Himmler.
However, Himmler was in a position where Heydrich could not dare, both in rank and rank, and the Führer's trust in Himmler was firm.
Of course, even the Fuhrer cut Himmler off and scolded him mercilessly whenever he tried to make a fuss, but despite this, Himmler maintained his position as the Fuhrer's close associate.
Heydrich did not like this.
For Heydrich, who was as full of interest and greed for power as Himmler, Himmler's existence was an obstacle that hindered his own success and a thorn in his eyes that must be removed.
Heydrich was cautious in everything, but like Stalin, he was not the type of person who was a bit too cautious and went astray.
On the contrary, once he decided to do something, he was the type of person who had to do it without fail.
The war is almost over, and if we hesitate any longer, Himmler's status will only rise and getting rid of him will become even more difficult. The bull's horn was also pulled out quickly, so now would be the right time to kill it.
Even if Himmler died immediately, it was unlikely that the position of head of the SS would immediately go to Heydrich.
Although it is an honorary position, Berchtold and Maurice hold the title of SS Reich Leader, and Hausser is the commander of the 7th Army in Britain.
But Heydrich thought differently. Given how much credit he and the SD contributed to this war (although much of that credit was due to information obtained by the Fuhrer), shouldn't it be credited to him?
Heydrich declared that no one else had the strength to lead this entire vast SS organization other than himself.
Even if the position of head of the SS were to go to Hausser or someone else, it is obvious that his position and authority in the SS would greatly increase.
And Houser is older. After the war is over, he will soon retire and return to his hometown.
Dietrich is of high rank, but he is just a fighter who is ignorant of military science, and Eicke is only a little smarter than Dietrich, but he does not have the same intelligence as he, who holds the SD and Gestapo in his hands, and is far from politics.
In other words, it is his apparent destiny to become the next head of the SS.
Becoming the head of the SS meant being named as a candidate for the next president.
The Führer had already nominated Göring as the next Führer, and in addition to Göring, there were many other prominent opponents such as Goebbels, Hess, Todt, Ribbentrop, and Frieck, but Heydrich was confident that he would never fall behind them.
Do you know anything? If something were to happen to them - for example, sabotage by guerrillas or anti-Nazis in the occupied territories - or if they lost the Führer's trust through their own mistakes, they would definitely be in trouble.
Right now, SD was responsible for collecting information and contributed greatly to winning the war.
Reinhard Heydrich, Fuhrer of the Third Reich.
That was Heydrich's ultimate goal.
To do so, we must first get rid of that filthy Himmler.
"I guess everything is ready, right?"
"of course."
To Heydrich's question, his trusted adjutant, SS Captain Plutkart, answered without a moment of hesitation.
"Are you sure?"
"The Mongolian will meet God before he gets to Luton."
"good. very good."
Heydrich laughed quietly.

Himmler, like the Fuhrer whom he revered, hated cigarettes so much and had a weak constitution that made it difficult for him to drink alcohol.
If I happened to drink alcohol, I would get diarrhea, so I only drank one or two glasses of the lowest alcohol.
However, he was very interested in mead, which the ancient Germanic people enjoyed, and encouraged the entire SS to drink a lot of mead.
To encourage the 7th Army headquarters personnel, Himmler loaded a transport plane with barrels full of mead made by Germany's best mead craftsmen.
Himmler did not think well of officers who were supposed to be concentrating on planning a strategy drinking alcohol, but just as machinery would break down if run too fast, people had to be given a break as well.
These meads would be a good gift for officers who feel tired from work.
"How long until we arrive?"
"We'll be arriving at Luton in five minutes, SS Imperial Leader."
"It will be soon."
It was Himmler who brought Hausser, who had retired from the National Guard, to the SS.
Himmler, conscious of the army's ridicule that he was playing soldiers, encouraged Hausser, who had a reputation as a skilled general in the National Guard, to join the SS in order to foster SS combat units.
Hausser accepted Himmler's recommendation and established the Braunschweig SS Military Academy to train SS combat units, the predecessors of the Waffen-SS.
Under Hausser's leadership, the SS, which had been evaluated as a group of half-baked idiots, was reborn as one of the most elite units in Germany, distinct from the Wehrmacht.
Today, the reputation of the Waffen SS was virtually created by Hausser alone.
Himmler highly praised Hausser for nurturing the Waffen-SS into Germany's most elite unit, surpassing the Wehrmacht, but was wary of him being promoted to a SS Reich leader like himself.
Today's visit to the 7th Army headquarters was also intended to clearly demonstrate the perception that Hausser was his subordinate and that he was the head of the SS.
Still, the relationship between Himmler and Hausser was quite good.
Especially compared to Heydrich, who was arrogant and believed only in his own abilities without knowing the grace that raised him, Hausser was a fairy itself.
Hausser also rebelled against Himmler's plans several times, but he still treated himself as a clear superior and never showed overt greed for power like Heydrich.
Heydrich's arrogance in controlling the SD and the Gestapo has now reached the sky.
He even ignored Himmler, his superior, and reported directly to the Fuhrer.
When Himmler complained about this, he even mocked Himmler by saying that he had not thought about it because the issue was serious.
What a cocky guy. The President should definitely know what kind of guy he is, but this is it.
The wheels of the Ju252 touched the runway. Outside the runway, Hausser, Dietrich, and staff from the 7th Army Headquarters were waiting to meet Himmler.
The door was opened and a portable staircase was installed. Hausser and the 7th Army staff raised their right hands and saluted Himmler as he got off the transport plane.
"Heil Hitler."
"Heil Hitler."

By now the disgusting Mongolian must have been reduced to pieces of minced meat and scattered in all directions.
I yawned happily and couldn't help but laugh as I thought about Himmler, who had been delivered to the gates of the underworld without even knowing what was going on, and was embarrassed in the underworld.
"Did you receive any medal from His Excellency the President?"
"It's not like that. But it's even happier than that."
"You say I'm excited too?"
Heydrich adjusted his clothes with Lina's help.
Heydrich visited Salon Kitty at least once a week and enjoyed having fun on the bed with prostitutes, but his relationship with his wife Lina was good.
Goebbels, who was more of a philanderer than Heydrich, had a terrible relationship with his wife, Magda.
"Daddy daddy!"
"Are you going to work?"
"Okay, dad goes to work."
Heydrich had four children.
Klaus, Haider, Zilke, Marte. Although Heydrich was infinitely fierce and ruthless toward those he judged to be Germany's enemies, he also devoted infinite affection to his family.
Klaus and Haider often pestered Heydrich to play ball with them.
When Heydrich said that he would take a vacation soon and that the whole family would go out to play, the two were jumping up and down with joy.
"I'll just go now. "Hopefully, I'll be back before dinner tonight."
"Thank you for your hard work. "Guys, you have to say hello to dad."
"Bye!"
"okay. "If you listen to mom carefully and come back later-"
Heydrich's words were not finished.
A bomb containing high explosives exploded and tore him into hundreds of large and small pieces.
Along with his family.

July 20, 1943
New Fuhrer's Residence in Berlin, Germany
Ever since I received a report that Heydrich was spying on me, I had decided to get rid of him someday.
I was wondering how long I could use him since he was already a guy with questionable loyalty, but now that he had crossed the line, I couldn't keep him alive anymore.
Still, since it was wartime and there was a risk of causing an unnecessary situation and creating a vacuum in command, the plan was to postpone Heydrich's removal until after the war was over.
Until I found out that he was trying to kill Himmler.
Plutkart told me that Heydrich's plan was to blow up Himmler in a transport plane and pretend that it was the work of the Allies.
With the information that he was strongly convinced that the vacant position of head of the SS would go to him after Himmler's death.
What a ridiculous guy.
If Himmler were to say that he was the talent I needed, I would have the confidence to say no without the slightest hesitation.
Himmler would be really upset if he found out, but to be honest, it's true.
Still, I have some friends who have been with me for a while, and he has become a little more realistic and constructive than the original, who was a paranoid person, so I just keep having him.
Of course, like Heydrich, this guy can be kicked out at any time if he crosses the line.
As the saying goes, 'a needle thief becomes a cattle thief', if Heydrich is allowed to kill Himmler, he will certainly try to kill other rivals who stand in the way of his succession to the position of Führer.
In the end, they might even try to kill me.
Therefore, Heydrich cannot wait until the war is over.
To prepare for an emergency, I thought about mobilizing a company of the Waffen SS to surround Heydrich's mansion, but there was no need.
The flutekart successfully killed him and his family.
As a result of the SS's search at Heydrich's residence, it was confirmed that Heydrich and his entire family were dead.
It is said that identification was somewhat difficult because the body was divided into several pieces.
According to a script prepared in advance, Heydrich's death was announced as the work of a secret anarchist in Germany.
"You've had a hard time. Captain Flutekart SS. "It wouldn't have been normal for him to spy on Heydrich and report to me while avoiding his eyes."
"This is nothing."
"Where are the materials he collected?"
"Here we are, Mr. President."
The yellow file that Flutekart held out contained data about me and the people around me that Heydrich had collected over the years.
"There might be files that that poisonous snake left behind for spare use, so take a good look."
"All right. Heil Hitler!"
On the surface, Heydrich was not purged but died from anarchist terrorism, so for a time, high-ranking officials in the Party, Wehrmacht, and SS would be instructed to be careful about safety.
Since Heydrich died in his own mansion, some people might move his residence or be suspicious of his employees.
To prevent any unexpected bloodshed, I even prepared an announcement in advance stating that all the servants employed at Heydrich's mansion were pure Germans and that I had not found any suspicion against them.
It's not like Heydrich, who went on a rampage without even knowing the subject, or the foreign workers who came to Germany to make money.

July 24, 1943
Washington DC White House, USA
The news that Hitler's henchman Heydrich was torn to pieces with his family in his home was a happy news.
When Wallace, who was just as anti-German, anti-fascist, and pro-Soviet as his predecessor Roosevelt, heard the news that Heydrich had died in a terrorist attack by unknown anarchists in Germany, he became convinced that there was still justice left in the world.
However, Heydrich's death had no effect on the front.
The Allied forces continued to retreat, and before they knew it, half of England had been surrendered to the Germans.
Despite the struggles of the U.S. Army Air Corps and the RAF, British cities were reduced to a sea of fire one by one by Luftwaffe air raids, and American and British tanks were powerless in front of German tanks.
"Jerry's jet is a scam, a scam! "It's so fast I can't aim!"
"What about tanks? "The shells fired by our soldiers bounce right back, so if they fire, they hit."
"Do you know how many transport ships were sunk by U-boats just last week?"
Generals and admirals talked about how many tanks had been reduced to scrap metal in Britain, how many fighter planes had been shot down, how many pilots had been taken prisoner, how many transport ships had been sunk in the Atlantic, and how many tons of cargo had sunk to the bottom of the sea.
Britain's Patton asked Eisenhower in Iceland, and Eisenhower asked Marshall in Washington for a large number of troops, ammunition, fuel, vehicles, tanks, and artillery to maintain the status quo, if not victory, for our forces in England. Marshall requested these supplies. The crying sounds were systematically organized and brought to Wallace.
Wallace struggled. After Roosevelt's sudden death, he took over as President without notice and performed his duties well as President of the United States.
Wallace, who had always been very interested in black civil rights, offered a sincere apology to black people and pledged to carry out their demands, and declared this to silence black people's complaints.
At the same time, armed groups such as the BFR, which distrusted the government's announcement and continued their armed struggle, were mercilessly defeated by mobilizing the federal army and the National Guard.
Racists like the KKK and southern segregationists were no exception.
Thanks to this, the domestic situation in the United States gradually began to stabilize, but the situation on the European front was still grim.
After capturing Birmingham, the German army will recharge and rush to Liverpool and Manchester. Next will be Glasgow and Edinburgh, and America will be completely kicked out of the UK.
Wallace stared at the globe on the table with gloomy eyes. If the US is kicked out of the UK, Iceland will be the only European country left in the US.
The Republican Party and domestic anti-war activists were now talking about hopelessly withdrawing from Britain and focusing their efforts on the Pacific.
Wallace had no intention of listening to their voices, but even he could not deny that the war situation was in bad shape.
"Damn Frank. Why did you leave me with so much baggage? … ."
Hitler had previously proposed a peace treaty with the United States. To this day, I have never heard of a separate withdrawal of this proposal.
Maybe it's still valid now?
"… … ."
He did not want to compromise with the fascists. If possible, he hoped to drive them all out of this land.
However, there is a big difference between ideal and reality. Wallace lifted the receiver, feeling extremely skeptical about what he was about to do.
This is by no means surrender or submission.
It is simply a compromise that the United States has no choice but to make in order to avoid being completely kicked out of Europe and to avoid wasting the sacrifices of our soldiers.
