Need help! Information on SS-Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich

Hello Everyone!

This is my first post so please be gentle :)

I am looking for information and photos for a Non Fiction Biography I am writing about SS-Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich. I am not particularly looking for any set period of Heydrich’s life but it on a whole. I realise this is a huge task and quite possibly a impossible one, but if you’re going to write a book you may as well do it properly right?

I am already in contact with major Holocaust Musuems such as USHMM, German Bundesarchiv, Ifz Munich, Yad Vashem etc etc a few authors of previous Heydrich written biographies, but I wondered seeing this is such a large community any one else had things that perhaps I wouldn’t have been able to find. I am plannng on visiting Prague in 2016 and also if anyone would be kind to inform me on how to get to Heydrich’s country home Panenské Břežany and also any particular Assassination sites apart from the attempt site, the cathedral and the BATA shoe store. Are there any others? I believe the Czechs named three streets after the assassins but how do you locate them where are they?

At this point in time, I have collected many photos from the internet but tracking down the respectable photographers to them have been difficult and I am hesistant to use them. Does anyone on this forum have any? Also I am working though over 700 microfilm images of Heydrich’s personal files and letters written by Lina Heydrich ranging from late 1942 to 1945. The handwriting has been most difficult to decipher. I still have a long long long way to go if I am going to make any head and tail out of this and portray Heydrich as a human being and not the crazy lunatic mass murderer people seem to attach him with.

Just as a side note I have started a blog that outlines my journey to actually seeing this though. It covers various things I read and uncover as well as to educate people that this should never happen again and that the actions of these people was not right. If you would like to check it out here it is: The Life of Heydrich

I thank you for your time in reading my post and in due time I hope to hear from you all soon.
Many Kind Regards

WW2 RAFTC Cap badge.

Morning gents, here is a rarely seen cap badge for the RAF Transport Command. In overall good order, with just one tiny bit of enamel loss to the "tip" of the R. A good quality badge, that the fakes just cannot compare to! Leon.

Need help! 1939 Spange zum Eisernen Kreuzes 2er Klasse 1914, Unknown maker, Prinzen

I have looked online and found many variations on this award, but none that look quite like this. It is a scan, so not as good as a real close up photo. Any thoughts please?
