Thanks

I think on is displayed with his car in the Czech Republic, however I could be mistaken..... I'm sure the answer will come up.

In a Czech museum ??

Would they have an web site.


Thanks for the info, something to go on.

You know I was just looking and I can't find one, but you want to find the museum with his car that was involved in his death.

I just found it, but they have his collar tabs, but no tunic, but pics of his car.

Possibly a pic of his complete uniform grouping, and there is an real nice Allegmeine SS tunic.

Bummer, I am sure it will turn up..... One has to have survived.

There are no original artifacts from Heydrich on display in that exhibition. The rank insignia collar patch is not his, but an example from an un-named SS-Obergruppenführer. One of his tunics is reputed to be in a German collection. There also exists some doubt that the car in the exhibition is not the original in which he was travelling at the time of the attack at Liben.
Woske.

Apologies in advance for resurrecting such an old thread, but I thought it better than starting a new one.

While doing some Heydrich research I came across this photo from a 2016 facebook post by the 'Czech Center of New York' (Log into Facebook) claiming to show one of Reinhard Heydrich's tunics in their display. I am going to go out on a limb and say that his tunic and cap combination are replicas - would the experts concur? This is the only photo I can find purporting to show one of Heydrich's personal tunics. The cap insignia look rather new, and isn't that bomber clasp upside down? Not to mention the overall near-mint condition of everything on display, without even a hint of patina. Then again, what do I know?



Would love to hear the experts' opinions, purely to satisfy my own curiosity of course.

At the very least the cap insignia is surely fake.

Also golden party badge is fake
