Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings
Thanks for the info.
Don't think you would have found the likes of Heydrich this close to the Front and the Russians !!!

I do not believe in re-writing history. Heydrich did a lot of bad things, to a lot of people (not to mention what happened in his name AFTER his death in Lidice) But a coward he was not.
We'll have to agree to disagree on this one, i think that being the architect of the Final Solution is far more than doing some "bad things" !!! and the fact he flew a few combat missions before turning his hand to the extermination of millions doesn't make him " brave " in my book.
As it happens the point i was making that none of the Nazi Hierachy were to be found in combat in the frontline trenches of the Russian Front and therefore would not have appeared in a photo such as the one you posted.

Heydrich was already dead when this picture was taken.
