Reinhard Heydrich with the Crown Jewels


Reinhard Heydrich with the Crown Jewels
A certain legend is related to the Bohemian Crown Jewels saying that who will place the crown on his head illegally he will die within one year. This legend is related to the imperial deputy protector Reinhard Heydrich. He got photographed with the crown jewels to show his power on 19 November 1941. But historians haven't unanimous opinion whether Heydrich placed this crown on his head or not.
