Just found that footage here:

Watch from 1:08
I wouldn't blame the cameraman if he wet himself and started crying.
That's rather evil, I'll grant you.
Still, take away all that we know about Heydrich as a person and all the Nazi imagery, and he's not exactly a bad-looking chap; very much an ideal for the aspiring young men of 1930s Germany, I'd have thought. Then again, maybe that just makes him all the more disturbing to look at?
Himmler, on the other hand, leaves me struggling to find a photograph that's not of "criminal record" quality.
