Good article! Reinhard Heydrich is perhaps my favorite WW2 figure out of them all as he is a fascinating individual who within a collective authoritarian regime indeed played the role of his part as an individual, this showing how ambitious and opportunistic he was. Aside from that is his physical features. Out of all the top Nazis, he was one of the very few to come even close to the pure Aryan description that the party emphasized. He has a piercing look and tall stature; he is athletic which is another way of showing his ambitious/competitive side but also a passionate musician, as playing the violin has been said by fellow acquaintances to "change Heydrich into a totally different man." Unlike Himmler, who was a murderous coward, Heydrich was a courageous murderer, this being shown by his service history, in particular his role as a fighter pilot in the Luftwaffe. And his fatal choice to get his driver to slow down when being attacked is also telling, as a Goering or Himmler would've ordered the driver to accelerate without question. But to cap it all off, it is his assassination too that bids him a greater quantity of fame than some of the other Nazis. The man's entire career in the Nazi party has its own dramaticism to it, like the entirety of his life itself, only to then have a dramatic ending that sparked dire consequences of its own. I do not find your conclusion necessary though. I very much do think that people do hold a staunch posthumuous accountability for his role in the Holocaust. He is a condemned man through the eyes of the general public and despite his bravery and audacity in those occassions of combat (in the Luftwaffe, being shot behind Russian lines) and deadly confrontations, he has a greater legacy of being who he really was in reality, a stone-cold murderer of the highest degree.
