On 20 January 1942 Heydrich chaired the Wannsee Conference, at which he presented to the heads of a number of German Government departments a plan for the deportation and transporting of 11 million Jewish people from every country in Europe, to be worked to death or killed outright in extermination camps.

On 20 January 1942, Reinhard Heydrich, deputed to find a " final solution " to the " Jewish problem ", chaired the Wannsee Conference at which all the Jews resident in Europe and North Africa were earmarked for extermination.

The infamous Wansee Conference called by Heydrich in January 1942, to organize the material and technical means to put to death the eleven million Jews spread throughout the nations of Europe, was attended by representatives of major organs of the German state, including the Reich Minister of the Interior, the State Secretary in charge of the Four Year Plan, the Reich Minister of Justice, the Under Secretary of Foreign Affairs.

Heydrich arranged a meeting, held on 20 January 1942 at Wannsee, a suburb of Berlin.

There they could be worked into extinction in accordance with the plan agreed on at the Wannsee Conference convened by Heydrich in January.

In early January 1942, Heydrich sent new invitations to a meeting to be held on 20 January.

After the plans were outlined at the Wannsee conference in January 1942, Heydrich was attacked by British-trained Czechoslovak agents on 27 May 1942 ; he died of his injuries eight days later.

Lange was called to the Wannsee Conference by Heydrich in January 1942.

At the Wannsee Conference on 20 January 1942, Reinhard Heydrich and various leading state officials discussed a more sweeping plan for killing Jews in Europe.

In January 1942 he attended the Wannsee Conference at which Heydrich briefed senior officials from a number of government departments of the plan, and at which Eichmann took the minutes.

On 2 January 1942, Heinrich Himmler wrote to Reinhard Heydrich calling on him to clamp down on the ringleaders of the swing movement, recommending a few years in a concentration camp with beatings and forced labor:

On 24 January 1939 the Reich Central Office for Jewish Emigration was established with Reinhard Heydrich at the head.

So he served as joint Minister of Education and National Enlightenment in the puppet government of Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, which was reorganized by the Reich Protector Reinhard Heydrich in January 1942.

In a February 26, 1942, letter to German diplomat Martin Luther ( diplomat ) | Martin Luther, Reinhard Heydrich follows up on the Wannsee Conference by asking Luther for administrative assistance in the implementation of the " Endlösung der Judenfrage " ( Final Solution to the Jewish Question ).

In 1942 Ernst Kaltenbrunner became the RSHA chief after Heydrich was assassinated in Prague.

In June 1942, Heydrich was assassinated in Prague in an operation led by Jozef Gabčík and Jan Kubiš, members of Czechoslovakia's army-in-exile who had been trained by the British Special Operations Executive.

* March 7 – Reinhard Heydrich, German Nazi official ( d. 1942 )

Heydrich was Chief of the Security Police ( SiPo ) and SD ( through the RSHA ) until his assassination in 1942.

It is built near the site of the previous village of the same name which, as part of the Nazi Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, was on orders from Adolf Hitler and Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler, completely destroyed by German forces in reprisal for the assassination of Reich Protector Reinhard Heydrich in the late spring of 1942.

On the morning of 27 May 1942, Heydrich was being driven from his country villa at Panenské Břežany to his office at Prague Castle.

Heydrich was assassinated by Czech partisans in Prague in 1942.

In the course of the meeting, Heydrich presented a plan, presumably approved by Adolf Hitler, for the deportation of the Jewish population of Europe and French North Africa ( Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia ) to German-occupied areas in eastern Europe, and the use of the Jews fit for labour on road-building projects, in the course of which they would eventually die according to the text of the Wannsee Protocol, the surviving remnant to be annihilated after completion of the projects.

Letter from Reinhard Heydrich to Martin Luther, Undersecretary at the Foreign Office, inviting him to the Wannsee Conference ( Wannsee Conference House Memorial, Berlin ).

On 29 November, Heydrich sent invitations for a meeting to be held on 9 December at the headquarters of the International Criminal Police Commission ( the forerunner of Interpol, of which Heydrich at the time served as President ) at 16 Am Kleinen Wannsee ( in the comfortable lakeside suburb of Wannsee on the western edge of Berlin ).

This event, presided over by Reinhard Heydrich and conducted by Adolf Eichmann, has since become known as the Wannsee Conference.

In this capacity he took part in the Wannsee Conference headed by Reinhard Heydrich.

He represented the Foreign Ministry at the Wannsee Conference, which was convened by SS-Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich in order to work out the details of the " Final Solution to the Jewish Question ".

Heydrich, in opening the Conference, followed the reasoning and even the phraseology of the order issued earlier by Goering which authorized the Final Solution as `` a complement to '' previous `` solutions '' for eliminating the Jews from German living space through violence, economic strangulation, forced emigration, and evacuation.

In 1931 he appointed Reinhard Heydrich chief of the new ' Ic Service ' ( intelligence service ), which was renamed the Sicherheitsdienst ( SD: Security Service ) in 1932.

Heydrich described those harshly dealt with as " economic criminals " and " enemies of the people ", which helped gain him support.

Heydrich worked out the operation plan and toured the site, which was about four miles from the Polish border.

Heydrich, still with pistol in hand, gripped the left side of his back, which was bleeding profusely.

Heydrich was buried in Berlin's Invalidenfriedhof, a military cemetery ; the exact location is not known — a temporary wooden marker which disappeared when the Red Army overran the city in 1945 was never replaced, so that Heydrich's grave could not become a rallying point for Neo-Nazis.

In 1931, Himmler gave Heydrich the assignment to build an intelligence and security service inside the SS, which became the Sicherheitsdienst ( SD ).

Accordingly, during the second half of 1941 Heydrich and his staff worked on proposals to " evacuate " all Jews from Germany and the occupied countries to labour camps, either in occupied Poland or further east in the Soviet Union, which it was assumed would soon be completely conquered.

Lina Heydrich and her husband Reinhard Heydrich had a summer home here, which after the war Lina ran with her second husband Mauno Manninen, as a restaurant and inn until it burned down in February 1969.

Upon the outbreak of war between Germany and the USSR, Reinhard Heydrich ordered his security forces to " cleanse " the border areas of Jews which led to formation of additional Einsatzkommandos.

The success of the Operation Anthropoid — which resulted in the British backed assassination of one of Hitler's top henchmen, Reinhard Heydrich, by Jozef Gabčík and Jan Kubiš on 27 May — influenced the Allies in this repudiation.

Especially after the Nazi reprisals for the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich, most of the Czech resistance groups demanded, based on German Nazi terror during occupation, the " final solution of the German question " () which would have to be " solved " by deportation of the ethnic Germans from their homeland.

In his 1968 book The Great Terror, British historian Robert Conquest accuses Nazi Party leaders Heinrich Himmler and Reinhard Heydrich of forging documents which implicated Tukhachevsky in an anti-Stalinist conspiracy with the Wehrmacht General Staff.

During the years of the Weimar Republic he was head of the Munich Political Police department, and became acquainted with many members of the Nazi Party including Heinrich Himmler, and Reinhard Heydrich, although Müller himself in the Weimar period was generally seen as a supporter of the Bavarian People's Party ( which at that time ruled Bavaria ).
