The Reich Protector, Konstantin von Neurath, remained the territory's titular head, but was sent on " leave " because Hitler, Himmler, and Heydrich felt his " soft approach " to the Czechs had promoted anti-German sentiment and encouraged anti-German resistance via strikes and sabotage.

On 21 September 1939 Heydrich sent out a teleprinter message on the " Jewish question in the occupied territory " to the chiefs of all Einsatzgruppen of the Security Police.

All but four of the women from Lidice were deported immediately to Ravensbrück concentration camp ( four were pregnant – they were forcibly aborted at the same hospital where Heydrich had died and then sent to the concentration camp ).

Heydrich was one of the organisers of Kristallnacht, a pogrom against Jews throughout Germany on the night of 9 – 10 November 1938.

In the meantime, Reinhard Heydrich, previously a naval cadet who had served under Canaris and was at the time the Sicherheitsdienst ( SD ) leader, despite being his protégé, friend and neighbour, became his rival.

Heydrich requested that Canaris put the Abwehr under SD and SS control.

Himmler and his deputy Heydrich, chief of the SS Security Service ( the SD ), assembled a dossier of manufactured evidence to suggest that Röhm had been paid twelve million marks by France to overthrow Hitler.

In preparation for the purge, both Heinrich Himmler and his deputy Reinhard Heydrich, chief of the SS Security Service ( SD ), assembled dossiers of manufactured evidence to suggest that Röhm was going to overthrow Hitler.

Instead of Lange, Heydrich could have invited either Karl Jäger or Erich Ehrlinger, who commanded the SiPO and SD in Lithuania and Belarus respectively, and were responsible for similar massacres.

He met Reinhard Heydrich and went to work in the counter-intelligence department of the Sicherheitsdienst ( SD ).

Eicke's reorganizations and the introduction of forced labour made the camps one of the SS's most powerful tools ; this earned him the enmity of Reinhard Heydrich, who had already unsuccessfully attempted to take control of the Dachau concentration camp in his position as chief of the SD.
