41-64 THE DECLARATION OF THE SERVICE LEADER SS ,My Führer! Dear family Heydrich! Dear mourners! With the death of SS Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich, Deputy Reich Protector in Bohemia and Moravia and head of the SD and the security police, the National Socialist movement once again made a sacrificial contribution to the freedom struggle of our people. So incomprehensible to us was the idea that this brilliant great man after barely completed 38. We would not act in his own sense if we did not make the heroic thoughts of death and becoming here on his coffin, which once moved our people at the death of their loved ones, our own again. In this spirit we want to celebrate in his honour, to tell about his life, to say about his deeds, to then return the material cover to the eternal cycle of all being on this earth and then, as he lived and fought, to continue to fight, to try to fill his place. 81
