German police probe digging up of Holocaust planner’s grave in Berlin
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe grave of a top Nazi who helped plan the Holocaust and was assassinated by British-trained agents during World War II has been dug up in Berlin, German police say.
The grave of Reinhard Heydrich was “dug up in the night between Wednesday and Thursday” and an investigation has been opened on charges of disturbing a burial site, a police spokeswoman tells AFP.
German media says it appears nothing was removed.
Heydrich was the powerful head of Hitler’s Reich Security Office, which included the Gestapo.
Less well known than other Nazi leaders, he was nevertheless highly influential and was marked out for his cruelty even within the Third Reich elite.
