  1. I'd rather see his medical report a d read how he died in agony from sepsis from blood poisoning. I'd love to see an hour by hour report of his pain and then death. This topic has been covered by a plethora of documentaries.

  2. Be glad that someone took it on themself to kill Reynard, why? Because he was ruthless and meticulous, if he was alive he and like minded like Höss would have made better strategies wich would have correlated to effiency in the mass killing of political opponents, jews, gypsies and all the people they thought did not deserve to live.

    Speculative would have been that he would have been in charge of any fronts and succeed. The history could have taken a wrong turn with him and his likeminded.

A wonderful Historical coverage of Assassination operations occurred during WW2 .During WW2 assassination operations were Doomed for Murdering or Kidnaping Important individuals of Foes ..During First & 2nd Cold war Periods …Majority of Operations Orchestrated For Taming (adopting ) Behind Veil indirect Partials (accurate Surgery) operations Especially Islamic Terrorist Groups

  4. That totally unnecessary operation to abduct an unimportant general in Crete, just for the prestige of the SOE, resulted in a plethora of murders by the Germans against innocent civilians. The Germans were bound to know the operation would have local cooperation. Yet one more blunder in a long list of SOE failures.
