Berlin Trip : Topography of Terror Museum (Murder of Reinhard Heydrich and the Investigation)

The car belonging to the “Butcher of Prague”, Reinhard Heydrich. He was murdered just outside of Prague and I’d like to visit the scene of where his assassination took place, even though dark tourism doesn’t sound the most glamorous. There’s still pride in the bravery of the two men who killed him, so there’s a memorial to this at the site.

The report into the assassination was written by Heinz Pannwitz (1911-1975) and was split into two sections. The first, which is in the below images, told of what happened on the day. He then merrily spent some of the second section talking about all the reasons that people would have to kill him, which didn’t exactly go down well with Heydrich’s friends and cause quite a scene in Berlin.

And photographs from the report itself. As mentioned in my last post, there’s currently an entire exhibition of Heydrich at the museum, it’s all very well laid out.
