Description:

REINHARD HEYDRICH
(1904 - 1942) 'The Hangman', Nazi head of the dreaded SS and architect of the 'Final Solution', his assassination in Prague caused in retribution the destruction of Lidice and murder of many of its inhabitants. Fine association war-date T.L.S. on his official 'Chef der Sicherheitspolizei und des SD' letterhead and stamped 'Secret', 1p. 4to., Berlin, Dec. 18, 1939, to FRANZ XAVER SCHWARZ (1875-1947), German politician who served as National Treasurer of the Nazi Party. In full: '...Dear Mr. Reich Treasurer! I am handing over issue 8/39 of the 'Notices on the situation in the Soviet Union' with a request for information. Heil Hitler!...' Some marginal soiling, very good. Heydrich already had a good deal of information on the Stalin administration's inner workings, believing he had incited Stalin's purges by supplying the NKVD with a slew of forged documents.
