After joining the Nazi party, he became the head of the ''Sicherheitsdienst'' (SD), the intelligence gathering service of the [[StateSec SS]], then went on to head the ''Reichssicherheitshauptamt'' (RSHA, Reich Main Security Office), which merged the SD with the ''Sicherheitspolizei'' ([=SiPo=], Security Police) and was deemed to [[FinalSolution solve the problem]] of the "enemies of the Reich". To reach that goal, Heydrich supervised the creation and actions of the ''Einsatzgruppen'' ("deployment groups") death squads in Eastern Europe, which went on to kill over 1 million people during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, the majority of them being Jews. He projected the next step in industrialized murder, the deportation and gasing of millions in specifically designed camps, and presented it to his peers at the Wannsee Conference on 20 January 1942.

* A number of movies have been made about Operation Anthopoid, some of them were even [[DuelingWorks released months apart]]:

He was probably the most famous target of assassination during World War II (next to UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler naturally, although the latter attempt was unsuccessful). A Czechoslovak commando composed of Jozef Gabčík and Jan Kubiš was formed in Great Britain and targeted him in Prague with the helop of local resistance, when he was acting ''Reichsprotektor'' of Bohemia-Moravia (today's UsefulNotes/CzechRepublic) on 27 May 1942, in an operation known as Anthropoid, which aimed at "shaking up" the Czech [[LaResistance resistance]] against Nazi Germany. Heydrich didn't directly die in the attack[[note]]Gabčík's Sten submachine gun jammed at the worst moment and Kubiš threw a grenade at the car[[/note]] but succumbed to an infection of his wounds on 4 June 1942. The commando was hunted down and all of its members ended up dead, and a horrific wave of reprisals claimed the lives of at least 5000 people, including the population of the village of Lidice, which was razed to the ground.

Popular culture tends to consider him as the posterboy "Aryan" Nazi as envisioned by their ideals, due to him being blond, tall and ruthless.

->''"He was very young, very handsome, save that his eyes were too close-set; an outstanding example of that blond mixture of effeminacy and toughness which may be observed in any Teutonic night-club. He had immense drive, which was liable to carry him too far; total ruthlessness in the attainment of his own ends, which were wrapped up in personal ambition; no active enjoyment of cruelty except sometimes, perhaps, almost as an afterthought; and a devilish sense of humor. Vain as a peacock, but mockingly aware of his vanity, clever, perhaps too clever by half, and contemptuous of the clumsiness of most of his colleagues and superiors, he nevertheless could be clumsy in his use of force and, unlike Himmler, was liable to over-reach himself. He was dynamite, like a character in an American gangster story; and in the SS he was able to canalise his nihilism into a constructive purpose."
