<HTML>Thanks, Fin, Ken and many others!!
Nice input on Heydrich. I myself like to evaluate history today as if it was 1000 years old and not 50 years old. Barbaric acts are barbaric acts. But a study of history can also deviate from the emotional climate of the times (which is still valid, just a different angle). Meaning, emotion is valid at the time, but after hundreds of years, there are other things to consider....

In reality....(examples).....
Stalin was a totally evil and a mostly militarily-inept figure who nearly lead the USSR to it\'s end.
Roosevelt, had his frail health been more widely known, would never have been re-elected President, to serve during wartime.
Churchill, an outcast for many years following WWI, might never have been British PM.
