English Translation
It is important that we should be able to develop boredom and lack of leadership if it is to give rise to useful and decent people. The politician Reinhard Heydrich was always aware that the formation of the will of a group of people, if it is narcotically disturbed by emotional effects, can only be balanced by the persuasive power of sound reason, a reason that has nothing to do with the hair-spaltery intellect of an infertile layer of displeasing "educated ones." But he also knew how to assess the security of a clear course in politics, as the real root of any authority. So the passengers, whether willing or malicious, could always see the helmsman only with the same let-out face on the course, which was once planned correctly, without any tactical maneuver, in which little spirits often mistakenly see the essence of politics. They all soon began to feel that the man at the wheel knew exactly where he wanted to go and that he would enforce his will. Providence wanted it differently. However, the murderers, who wiped out the life of one of the strongest political figures of the Third Reich in the heyday of his years, could not erase the name that means way and goal in this space. Reinhard Heydrich's work will continue to live, carried by all those who today are shaken by the tragedy of his death. 77
