Lina Heydrich - Reinhard Heydrich's Widow and BESTIAL Nazi FANATIC who Turned her Castle into Hell

Lina Heydrich was born as Lina Mathilde von Osten on 14 June 1911 in Fehmarn, then part of the German Empire. Her father Jürgen was an impoverished German aristocrat of Danish origin who worked as a village schoolteacher and her mother was a housewife. The Von Osten family was strongly right-wing oriented and Lina was a convinced National Socialist and an ardent anti-Semite already from a young age.
Adolf Hitler and his Nazi party came into power in January 1933. Soon after their assumption of power, Nazi leaders began to make good on their pledge to persecute German Jews. When Himmler was appointed commander of the Bavarian political police detective force on April 1, 1933, he appointed Heydrich as his deputy.

It's really too bad the assassination squad from the Czech military didn't get away - they were very close to making it. Their small group tried to hold out as best as they could against basically an entire company of soldiers. Knowing they were going to die at that point anyway, they still took out a ton of them. They also brutally tortured the sons of the family who assisted some of them, one of whom wasn't aware of their involvement in the resistance, and killed all of them, and _the 17 year-old son's fiance, plus her mother and brother._ They also showed that same son, his mother's severed head in a fishtank. There was a pretty good movie that followed two members of the group and their last stand, called Anthropoid. I highly recommend it and it was praised for remaining true to the real events that occurred.

@@JET7C0 Great Flick. "Conspiracy" is good too about Heydrich and Wannsee...

IIRC what got him was pieces of the horsehair upholstery that got blown into the wounds; hardly sterile. The infection finished what the Czechs started. Operation Anthropoid succeeded because Heydrich was an arrogant idiot. Even Hitler said as much, insisting that his leadership team never ride around in convertibles afterwards. He also mistook himself for a tough guy- 2 trained assassins came after him and what does he do? Orders his driver to stop so he can....catch them? Kill them? Who knows. Stupid decision. Also ridiculous is the fact that one of the Czech's sten gun....jammed. The gun they selected for the mission. The gun they smuggled for that moment. The gun that had ONE JOB. ONE JOB. No matter, the horsehair had it under control.

Not only did she escape being convicted for complicity in the crimes of her husband but she kept a pension as the widow of a "victim of war".

[@_TheComedian_]

Here are the facts: In 1950, Lina Heydrich applied to the Schleswig-Holstein state pension office for widow's and orphan's benefits in accordance with the Law on the Care of Victims of War (Federal Pension Act) because her husband had "fallen victim to a direct effect of the war" during the assassination attempt. The application was rejected in 1952, partly because Reinhard Heydrich had not been a soldier but a Reich civil servant. However, the Schleswig Higher Insurance Office, which was then appealed to, ruled in favor of Lina Heydrich. In the verdict of the VIII Division Chamber of February 9/28, 1953, the assassination was deemed an "act of combat" within the meaning of § 1 para. 2a, § 5 para. 1 letter a BVG because it had been prepared in England with Czech nationals. The state of Schleswig-Holstein, represented by the state pension office, and the Federal Minister for Labour and Social Affairs appealed against this in 1954. In its ruling of June 27, 1958, the Schleswig State Social Court confirmed the decision of the Higher Insurance Office. In contrast to the 131 Act and the compensation regulations of state legislation or Allied decrees, the term "unworthiness", which would have excluded claims by Nazi perpetrators, had not been included in the Federal Pension Act after a corresponding regulation had met with resistance from the governing parties CDU, FDP and German Party (DP) during the legislative process. The role or specific actions of Heydrich during the Nazi era were therefore not to be assessed by the State Social Court. It was exclusively concerned with the question of whether the assassination attempt on Heydrich was to be regarded as an act of war. Unlike the expert witness commissioned by the court, Michael Freund, the court took the view that the assassins were "Czech soldiers" "who ... took part in the war against the German Reich on the side of the Allied forces". Even if they had deviated from the rules of war, "their actions had not lost the character of combat operations". As a result, Lina Heydrich was awarded a widow's pension of 1,000 DM per month under the Federal Pension Act.

The German reprisals on the territory of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, which followed the assassination and especially after his death, knew no peace (this period is referred to as the Heydrichiad). People were shot without trial, and the slaughter of the villages of Lidice and Ležáky was just one of the episodes of German oppression at the time. In total, at least 1585 people were killed in immediate retaliation for his death, which is the figure of the courts-martial, but the total number of victims will nevertheless be significantly higher.

Ludwig Hahn and Jurgen Stroop were responsible for bestial suppressing of Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in 1943 .

She had one advantage. Although impoverished, her family were aristocrats. He would have gained social cachet from that. I can imagine him saying, "My wife is a von Osten, you know." Even knowing their financial situation, many would have been impressed. No doubt, the von Ostens blamed the Jews for their position and gained sympathy, which would have spread to Heydrich, enhancing his anti-Jewish credentials. Judging by her behaviour, I would expect that she had been raised in an aristocratic manner, despite lack of money, and, therefore, she would have handled her rise in status better than many Nazi wives. Again, Heydrich would have benefitted.

[@katrinapaton5283]

Two points, if I may. The idea that her family was strongly right wing and that Lina was a convinced National Socialist seems incorrect to me, unless she went against what most of her family supported. National Socialism, as the name says, was socialist in nature and decidedly left wing. Secondly, there is a suggestion that Heydrich died of sepsis, a well known complication with well known treatments at the time. The fact that Himmler sent his own personal physician and yet Heydrich died is considered by some as proof that Himmler was concerned about Heydrichs rise in power and so he took the opportunity to be rid of him.

Then again at 15:00 we see 2 girls one with dots painted on her face that look like Anne and Margo , the narrator says after the video taken these people were sent to Auschwitz and the Frank girls were sent there and then Margo and Anne were sent to Bergen-Belsen where they died. Is it possible after their arrest they did not go directly to Auschwitz but to Theresienstadt first? The film was taken between Aug 16th to September 11th, the Franks were arrested on August 4, 1944. Maybe the SS records were wrong and the girls were not sent to Auschwitz on Sept 3, 1944

I suppose that its possible for both to be correct in that they were sent to Auschwitz via Theresienstadt?

Let me just correct you on one sentence..WW2 started when BOTH Nazi Germany and Bolshevik Russia invaded Poland..!! Let’s never forget the USSR was as responsible for WW2 as Germany in 1939..if Hitler hadn’t hate communism so much and not invaded Russia then Stalin was as guilty as Hitler…

[@maconescotland8996]

The Germans had previously invaded several other countries before 1st Sept. 1939 - Poland was the final straw for Britain and France. The USSR didn't fancy the Third Reich extending its occupied territory East to the borders of Mother Russia, so invaded to establish an extensive buffer zone. That was more than two weeks after the Germans invaded Poland, so that indicates that the Soviets would not have done so either unilaterally. WW2 started on 3rd Sept.1939, not the 17th when the Russians took military action.

During the period from 1941 to 1945, from 415 to 440 thousand Muslim volunteers of the following categories served in the German nazi armed forces (see Table 2): - Arabs and Muslim Indians - respectively 5 and 2 thousand; - Muslims - citizens of the Balkan states - about 115-125 thousand; - Muslims - citizens of the USSR - about 290-305 thousand people. [229] This is approximately equal to 22-23% of the total number of foreign volunteers and 2.5-2.6% of the total strength of the German armed forces for the period from 1939 to 1945. As for the percentage of Muslim and non-Muslim volunteers in each national category, then it was next. Among the Arab volunteers, they were 100%, among the Indians - about 70%, among the representatives of the Balkan peoples - about 42%, and among the volunteers from the citizens of the USSR - about 20%. With this number of volunteers, an average of 34-35 German infantry divisions or divisional-type formations could be completed (see Table 4). In reality, the following units and formations of the German armed forces, either entirely or together with German (or other foreign) personnel, were completed by Muslim volunteers. Arab volunteers (about 5 thousand people in total) were part of one Regimental-type Special Purpose Unit, as well as 5 battalions (either separate or as part of larger units). Indian Muslim volunteers (about 2 thousand people in total) were part of about 10 of the 15 companies of the 950th Indian Motorized Regiment. The Balkan Muslims were distributed as follows: Albanians (about 60-65 thousand people in total) were part of 4 rifle regiments, 4 "fascist" police battalions and 3 territorial police regiments. Subsequently, most of these units were disbanded, and their personnel went to staff the 21st Albanian division of the SS "Skanderbeg". Bosnian Muslims (about 55-60 thousand people in total) initially served either in the armed forces of the Independent State of Croatia, or were part of the local Croatian-Muslim militia units (regiment / brigade). Subsequently, all these units were disbanded, and their personnel went to staff two Bosnian divisions of the SS troops: the 13th "Handshar" and the 23rd "Kama". In addition, one battalion of Bosnian Muslims from 1941 to 1943 operated on the Eastern Front as part of the Croatian Legion. And finally, the most numerous category - Soviet Muslims - were equipped with the following units and formations: Volunteers from the republics of Central Asia and Kazakhstan ("Turkestanis") (about 180 thousand people in total) were part of 26 reinforced field, reserve, labor and economic battalions; 111 marching, economic, sapper, railway and road construction companies; 303rd Infantry Regiment of the 162nd Turkic Infantry Division; and one battle group (regiment) of the Eastern Turkic SS formation. North Caucasian volunteers (about 28-30 thousand people in total) were part of 9 reinforced field battalions; one battalion of the Highlander Special Forces; 3 sapper, railway and road construction companies; 2 fortress regiments; 1 battle group of the Caucasian SS formation; and a separate Sonderkommando "Shamil", which consisted of three groups with a force up to a platoon. Azerbaijani volunteers (about 25-35 thousand people in total) were part of 15 reinforced field battalions; 1 battalion of the Special Forces "Highlander"; 21 marching, construction and economic companies; 314th Infantry Regiment of the 162nd Turkic Infantry Division; and 1 battle group of the Caucasian SS formation. [231] Volga-Tatar volunteers (about 40 thousand people in total) were part of 7 reinforced field battalions; 15 economic, sapper, railway and road construction companies; and 1 battle group of the Eastern Turkic SS formation. Crimean Tatar volunteers (about 15-20 thousand people in total) were part of 14 self-defense companies; 8 battalions of the Auxiliary Order Police; 1 mountain chasseur regiment (then brigades); 1 combat group of the Eastern Turkic SS formation; and also - as "voluntary assistants" - the 35th SS Police Grenadier Division.
