I have read a supposed copy of his autopsy somewhere. Even if the autopsy was fake, it really isnt a surprise that he died of sepsis and blood poisoning. Consider where the injuries were supposedly located. He wasn't given antibiotics nor sulfa medications. There would likely have been perforations to either the small or large intestines. Even in modern times, that is a serious injury. Running the bowel, you can't find all the wounds by eyesight alone. Horsehair was commonly used to stuff seats in chairs, cars, etc. Horsehair can be sharp and could have easily made punctures in a blast. He started running a fever and fell ill the day or night before he died, if I remember from Dr Gerwarth book.
Apparently there were splinters in his spleen. Also rumours that Himmler didn't want him to recover (seen as a future danger to him), and that Himmler send his own doctor there. With certain "instructions" regarding Heydrich's treatment.
Hitler seethed that Heydrich insisted on being driven around Prague in an open car without bodyguards. Hitler considered it reckless. Hitler was further pissed at Himmler for not stopping Heydrich from doing this. Hitler considered Heydrich’s death a needless, preventable sacrifice of one of his most important officials and held Himmler partially responsible.

It seems that three of Heydrich's four children are still alive (one of them died in 1943 aged 10). His youngest daughter was born just after her father's death and is now 82. I supposed it comes down to how old the grandchildren are and when they were born. They must be well into middle age by this point and I'm not sure someone that old would still be in active service unless they were a senior officer. Heydrich's wife died in August 1985 aged 74.

Once again another well researched, well documented and beautifully spoken documentary. You always have so many photos I have not seen. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to your great channel. 🎉
Yep the sword would be worth a mint even more if Himmler did swap his with Heydrich, even Muller’s would be worth some decent amount too. Thing is the Germans had the best “souvenirs’ daggers, medals swords etc compared to the allies who where kind of boring in that regard. I’m no sympathiser but I had a modest collection of Nazi stuff at one time and I was always getting pestered to part with some of it so I’m guessing it’s still highly sort after today Heydrichs sword if ever sold on the black market would set someone up quite nicely so worth the risk of stealing it. Anyway you be the judge.
I do think the suggestion about it being Muller is an interesting look, especially with the seniority of Himmler over both of the men. Thanks for your comment mate, some very interesting points. The sword I'd guess would be worth hundreds of thousands, however if discovered I have no idea how they'd sell it based on where they got it from. (The grave)
Id be surprised if he wasn't buried wearing replacement decorations be they medals or sword/dagger. By now obviously the remains would be bones, and for some, they would be the ultimate artifacts.
Can we even be sure that it is the body of Heydrich that is now interred in the grave? The Germans had to have thought it possible that the gravesite would be a target of many people for any number of motives. I'm not saying its not his body or that it is likely not him. It just seems possible in light of the times. Im just wondering "what if".
I wonder if the sword was privately given to Heydrich’s wife & placed another sword in the coffin. She was as arrogant as he was and never apologized for any of his actions, that I’m aware of.
It’s public record the coffin was undisturbed & no items were taken. The question being do governments or authorities tell lies, that’s up to you to decide. It’s nearly certain his original sword was never buried with him though… It is precisely in the Nazi prescriptions that the duties of the SS men in engagement, marriage, and funeral are recorded. Chvanchara reminds that in the event that a member of the SS is buried, his closest superior takes the honorary sword of the deceased from the coffin lid and places his own on it. This kordík is then buried with the coffin.
If the grave was actually dug up, and as you call it... "disturbed". I find it very hard to believe that nothing was taken !! Why would anyone go through all that effort, to dig out 6 feet of earth, to just look at pretty much nothing but dirt and whatever else was placed in the coffin? The only thing left would be metallic objects. His body, bones clothes everything would have looooong rotted away. So the only thing you would see are the sword...(if there), and medals, cleats, pins etc... so why not take them... nothing makes sense... the only possibility is that when they dug down to where he was... there was nothing there. No sword, medals, nothing.
if his grave was to be just out there then it would have atleast one small monument on it, around it, and not just unmarked grave that somebody later guessed that it COULD be Heydrich's grave.
Wouldn't the SS ring on his finger be worth far more than that sword? But i believe Himmler ordered the return of those upon the demise of the man wearing it
True, the rings of dead SS officers were to be taken to the castle Himmler " acquired" where they were to be kept for posterity , and so were the bodies of SS killed in combat, he proposed building a mausoleum there
I thought that Himmler did not like Heinrich as he saw him as a threat, and that when Heinrich was injured in the attempted assassination it was Himmler who delayed the sending of medicines (antibiotics?) that might have saved him
I highly doubt his sword was buried with him. I have been in collectible militaria since the 70s and can say I actually bought an SS officers sword from his German wife in Syracuse, NY in that era. She had married an American GI like in 47 and had his sword in the bag since his loss in 1944. I would bet one of the kids still has it or knows, if not grand kids. Bill McClure dated Heydrich's daughter for a time hoping to get some stuff, but all he got was time dating her. It's still in that family, someplace incredibly secure, an attic or basement wrapped as if an old umbrella or such.
They all looked so normal...so human and that is the problem, we think that to do the atrocities that they did that they must look like a demon or an animal but that is not the case. It is horrific on how fast a normal peaceful population can be turned into cold blooded executioners. What happened in Germany can happen anywhere and at anytime.
I thought Heydrich was disinterred and thrown into the nearby canal by russian soldiers. So they probably nicked all trophies, if any. Anyways surely the sword etc would be removed as the coffin lid was put in place. So this is all hear say. Surprised at this take, something about nothing.
I dunno... I've seen pos anonymous ss death heads rings selling for 6k and other stuff for more at gun shows b4. So I'm sure if you had the proof it was from say Hendrick or some other well known...I imagine there are ppl out there that would pay huge sums for something like that! 100,000s$ for sure!!
@@sleepthoughamostqruelandde1116 Those rings are just one of thousands made. Guns were also made in their thousands. The guy in this video said up to a million. This might be possible if the goods were obtained legally. However, looting something by grave robbing doesn't fall into that catergory.
If and that's a big if it would be like stealing the Mona Lisa you couldn't sell it because everyone would know it was stolen besides who would want it he was not a good person he was a monster.
Yes but trust me when I say this with that individual's sword the German police and the German intelligence agency would come for you.

So what is there to deface? Probably been quite a few people taking a piss on his grave trough the years tho.
@@mr-x7689i can confirm one for sure
I own an SS Dagger …. Bought it from Thomas Whittmann directly
So there was no sword in the wooden coffin. Good reason. WW2 was going on. Someone else around him collected the sword.
The coffin wasn't dug up...did you not comprehend that?
Good day , Untold Past! I hope all is well. Thank You, as ALWAYS. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thank you.
Once again another well researched, well documented and beautifully spoken documentary. You always have so many photos I have not seen. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to your great channel. 🎉
Mossad chief wanted his sword as a trophy. Seriously.
Well-presented and very interesting. I am looking forward to your next!
Thank you for your support.
Excellent Video !
Thank You for all you do…❤
Thanks for your comment.

Adam driver doppelganger...he could easily play this guy in a movie
What I understand is himmler actually swapped his personal sword with heidrich at the burial 😮
Himmler's sword would also be prized by the sort that would do this.
I don't agree with disturbing a grave of a person period.
They were probably searching for his iron heart.
Yep the sword would be worth a mint even more if Himmler did swap his with Heydrich, even Muller’s would be worth some decent amount too. Thing is the Germans had the best “souvenirs’ daggers, medals swords etc compared to the allies who where kind of boring in that regard. I’m no sympathiser but I had a modest collection of Nazi stuff at one time and I was always getting pestered to part with some of it so I’m guessing it’s still highly sort after today Heydrichs sword if ever sold on the black market would set someone up quite nicely so worth the risk of stealing it. Anyway you be the judge.
I do think the suggestion about it being Muller is an interesting look, especially with the seniority of Himmler over both of the men. Thanks for your comment mate, some very interesting points. The sword I'd guess would be worth hundreds of thousands, however if discovered I have no idea how they'd sell it based on where they got it from. (The grave)
would Heydrich had also been buried with his ss honour ring, which would have his name engraved inside?
Id be surprised if he wasn't buried wearing replacement decorations be they medals or sword/dagger. By now obviously the remains would be bones, and for some, they would be the ultimate artifacts.
Can we even be sure that it is the body of Heydrich that is now interred in the grave? The Germans had to have thought it possible that the gravesite would be a target of many people for any number of motives. I'm not saying its not his body or that it is likely not him. It just seems possible in light of the times. Im just wondering "what if".
I wonder if the sword was privately given to Heydrich’s wife & placed another sword in the coffin. She was as arrogant as he was and never apologized for any of his actions, that I’m aware of.
THE SWORD IS IN THE BOX WITH HIM
It’s public record the coffin was undisturbed & no items were taken. The question being do governments or authorities tell lies, that’s up to you to decide. It’s nearly certain his original sword was never buried with him though…
It is precisely in the Nazi prescriptions that the duties of the SS men in engagement, marriage, and funeral are recorded. Chvanchara reminds that in the event that a member of the SS is buried, his closest superior takes the honorary sword of the deceased from the coffin lid and places his own on it. This kordík is then buried with the coffin.
If the grave was actually dug up, and as you call it... "disturbed". I find it very hard to believe that nothing was taken !! Why would anyone go through all that effort, to dig out 6 feet of earth, to just look at pretty much nothing but dirt and whatever else was placed in the coffin? The only thing left would be metallic objects. His body, bones clothes everything would have looooong rotted away. So the only thing you would see are the sword...(if there), and medals, cleats, pins etc... so why not take them... nothing makes sense... the only possibility is that when they dug down to where he was... there was nothing there. No sword, medals, nothing.
Now he was an interesting character. Cultured, intelligent - and completely psycopathic.
Imagine the curse to those who stole it from a grave😮
Haunted by Heydrich, not ideal!
No such things as ghosts
if his grave was to be just out there then it would have atleast one small monument on it, around it, and not just unmarked grave that somebody later guessed that it COULD be Heydrich's grave.
Very interesting, thanks
A lot of old NAZIs remained very powerful men in post war Germany. The west German govt chose to turn a blind eye to them.
So what? They lost the war, not their spirits or beliefs. The same for Japan, who also lost the war. Big deal. Move on.
I don't see the video showing the opening of that mass murderer's grave. The heading is misleading. Why ?
He was a good Nazi, but a terrible, ruthless, and socialpathic murder.
The car seats were horse hair that got into the cuts ,that’s why he died of sepsis
This man did not rest in peace.
Nice video. He looked a little Slavic with his high cheekbones.
What is the name of the piece of music used?
Does anyone know what that “V” on his right upper arm means?
Means old member prior to 1933
Ngl if I was rich I'd be buying all sorts of Nazi/Soviet/American WW2 memorabilia
Wouldn't the SS ring on his finger be worth far more than that sword? But i believe Himmler ordered the return of those upon the demise of the man wearing it
True, the rings of dead SS officers were to be taken to the castle Himmler " acquired" where they were to be kept for posterity , and so were the bodies of SS killed in combat, he proposed building a mausoleum there
So, was he buried in a vault or just a casket in the ground?
A long AND lengthy eulogy? His tomb was never finished AND completed? You don’t say… 🤔
I thought that Himmler did not like Heinrich as he saw him as a threat, and that when Heinrich was injured in the attempted assassination it was Himmler who delayed the sending of medicines (antibiotics?) that might have saved him
Each historian repeats the same narative from previous naratives without producing first hand original sources.
If the sten was so bad
Why did Germany copy it.
I highly doubt his sword was buried with him. I have been in collectible militaria since the 70s and can say I actually bought an SS officers sword from his German wife in Syracuse, NY in that era. She had married an American GI like in 47 and had his sword in the bag since his loss in 1944. I would bet one of the kids still has it or knows, if not grand kids. Bill McClure dated Heydrich's daughter for a time hoping to get some stuff, but all he got was time dating her. It's still in that family, someplace incredibly secure, an attic or basement wrapped as if an old umbrella or such.
Intresting
The family of a famous person does not keep such a relic in a basement or attic, but in a bank vault!
Ghoulish.
You brought a sword off his wife??? And.... was it his?????
@@johngordon880 no it was not Heydrich's, just a very young Untersturmfuhrer KIA in some Eastern European Burg in 1942.
Weve got a little memorial to lidice in our town 😢
Runes not lightening bolts….
Fast unglaublich, Heydrich hatte wirklich ein Grab mit einem Grabstein?
Es gibt viele berühmte Deutsche auf demselben Friedhof
I wouldn't have said anything except 40%
They all looked so normal...so human and that is the problem, we think that to do the atrocities that they did that they must look like a demon or an animal but that is not the case. It is horrific on how fast a normal peaceful population can be turned into cold blooded executioners. What happened in Germany can happen anywhere and at anytime.
All of those items would have been ruined for obvious reasons.
WHY?
WHAT!? No pictures?
We will never know
The narrator really has the worst ever way of reading the lines out loud
I thought Heydrich was disinterred and thrown into the nearby canal by russian soldiers. So they probably nicked all trophies, if any. Anyways surely the sword etc would be removed as the coffin lid was put in place. So this is all hear say. Surprised at this take, something about nothing.
The evil has been dead for 80yrs.may he rest in peace..
no, there is no peace for the evil
what evil?
May he never rest in peace!!
@@johnnutall8191 May you and your family never rest in peace!!
@@johndoe2-ns6tfhe was SS DEATH SQUAD, needsay no more, but are probably of Nazi following!!!
W video bro!!!
Thanks mate.
I can't really see it turning up on ebay any time soon.
I'd imagine it'd be seized if it ever somehow found its way on the market. (As it's obvious that it'd be taken through nefarious means!)
You're not going to get "millions" for well-known grave-robbed artifacts. Even though they belonged to this psychopath.
Couldn’t be further from the truth.
@@3Kiwiana Are you saying I'm wrong or right?
I dunno...
I've seen pos anonymous ss death heads rings selling for 6k and other stuff for more at gun shows b4.
So I'm sure if you had the proof it was from say Hendrick or some other well known...I imagine there are ppl out there that would pay huge sums for something like that!
100,000s$ for sure!!
@@sleepthoughamostqruelandde1116 Those rings are just one of thousands made. Guns were also made in their thousands. The guy in this video said up to a million. This might be possible if the goods were obtained legally. However, looting something by grave robbing doesn't fall into that catergory.
As he spreads word of this activity with this video! 😐
Once himmler turned up for the last at his bedside , the game was up for heydrich . No way was he leaving that hospital alive .
Yes , I think some other high ranking Nazis were afraid of him
If and that's a big if it would be like stealing the Mona Lisa you couldn't sell it because everyone would know it was stolen besides who would want it he was not a good person he was a monster.
Of course you could sell it. Everything's for sale. Even the Mona Lisa.
@@ge2623 I agree. Thousands of art collectors would want the Mona Lisa for their personal collection.
Yes but trust me when I say this with that individual's sword the German police and the German intelligence agency would come for you. There is more to say but you need to research post war Germany and some of the people who ended up running things and remember their children and grandchildren. The more things change the more they stay the same.
@@roberthoskinson1680 💯%. People with very deep pockets are not going to put such items on display, they are going to be locked safely away, where prying eyes can't see.
After all the planning why was such an inferior weapon ie sten gun….
What the meaning of(SS)
Who would want anything belonging to this evil thing
A very practical comment. Thank You.
The Czechs were the first people in Europe to prove to the world that the Nazis were not invincible. In fact, no one throughout the entire war assassinated such a high ranking Nazi official in any othrt occupied country.
Long live the Czechs! Brave as they have always been.
Yes, the Czeck people are brave, but murdering Heidrick was a mistake. His death resulted in thousands being murdered or imprisoned. Also, his death did not slow down the plans and execution of the Holocaust.
Czechoslovak army was supposedly almost a match to Wehrmacht, but they just folded, so much forvresistence. ps there were more partisans in an averahe village in Serbia, Belarus, Greece than in all of Czechia.
that guid is over 35 years standart at all over 50 years dead and was not a celebrait abel one whay is ther a toomb of that to open less then to remove it off the toombyared...
Apparently Himmla had a handful of the new penicillin but didn’t give any to hop along Heydrich
The guy was the personification of Eve ill.
He certainly was. Known as 'The Butcher of Prague' for a reason.
Hopping mad id say ..
I would find it unusual if it hadn't been robbed. There is a good possibility that all of us will be dug up at some point if humanity is around long enough. Just saying... I did archaeology in college and it is rare to find undisturbed burials. Pick your grave goods carefully, they will speak for you after you are long forgotten. I, myself, wish for a spring loaded bottom in my coffin so that my bones come popping out like a jack-in-the-box lol! Even better if that old song, 'dem bones, dem bones, dem dry bones' would play simultaneously....
@auburnkim1989.....hell of an idea. Better quick get a patent for it, you'll get rich!
@@garysmith3913 😂 I did actually plan to be buried with a thumb drive (or it's equivalent), vacuum sealed in a tiny mason jar. It was/is to be placed down at my feet, unseen and out of the way. But, who knows? I hear you can have a QR code carved on your gravestone now! BTW, years ago, I grew up in Lanett, Alabama with the absolutely incredible but heartbreaking dollhouse grave of Nadine Earles. Trust me, if there is no written record left, that one is going to really freak out those future archaeologists, OMG!
Te mataba con la mirada.la pregunta es;Tan importante o peligroso lo consideraban los Aliados??
What a scumbag he was.
Begs the question why would someone try to break into his grave.
@@TheUntoldPastThe amount of money on the American market for any Nazi booty would be ridiculously high. The other reason is some sort of right-wing German morons who want to steal parts of him to worship.
@@TheUntoldPast Because there are still a lot of scumbags who admire scumbags ... oh, and they could sell anything they find, so and money too
Wash your mouth
@@userGER2 why not if he was a scumbag
So nothing was stolen? What then was the point of this video?
Point of the video was to highlight what happened with the grave disruption and consider why it happened.
