I recently finished HHhH, Laurent Binet's unusual novel about Reinhard Heydrich and subsequently found a Nazi video of his funeral.
The "HHhH" is a German abbreviation for "Himmler's brain is called Heydrich."
Heydrich, of course, was a coldly efficient manager of the Holocaust and there was speculation that one day he might succeed Hitler.
The story of his assassination is also told in "Seven Men at Daybreak." The funeral video is rather chilling.
