7Reinhard Heydrich: The Ideal National Socialist is translated from THREE original SS publications. The first publication, Reinhard Heydrich: Ein Leben der Tat (literally "A Life of the Deed"), was commissioned by the German State Minister for Bohemia and Moravia, SS-Obergruppenf hrer K. H. Frank as a token of gratitude to the man who, in a serious hour in the most recent history of Bohemia and Moravia, promptly crushed the plot against the Reich from this region with all the means at his disposal, thereby establishing the groundwork for a positive development in all spheres. The occasion was what would have been Heydrich's fortieth birthday on March 7, 1944. It includes both articles about Heydrich AND three speeches by Heydrich. The second publication, The Changes in Our Struggle, was written by Heydrich himself. The third publication, entitled simply Reinhard Heydrich, is a compilation of eulogies by Bormann, Daluege, Himmler and Hitler. It also includes some quotes from Heydrich.
