Reinhard Heydrich - "The Man with the Iron Heart": His Life, Influence and Brutal Reign
He was called ‘The Man with the Iron Heart’ because he had an iron heart: Reinhard Heydrich was cold, uncaring, the machine. He didn’t hate those he was ordered or tasked to destroy, no, he simply lacked any feeling about them. Heydrich was a man who could put a million men in a line, kill each with his bare hands, and think more about his bloodied uniform than the act he had just committed.

Reinhard Heydrich, dubbed ‘The Man with the Iron Heart', was an infamous figure responsible for some of the most horrific crimes against humanity during the Holocaust. As one of the primary architects of the Final Solution, Heydrich's influence can be felt throughout the annals of 20th century history. His cold, uncaring demeanour was not a facade, but a reality reflected in his deeds - a testament to a man who seemingly felt no remorse or empathy for his fellow man.
