Heydrichův muž na špinavou práci SS-Sturmbannführer Alfred Naujocks – Cílek Roman (2024)

Top SS security service operative Alfred Helmut Naujocks was long among the men Reinhard Heydrich relied on the most, which is why he entrusted him with tasks that directly touched upon history. Naujocks was by nature a daring and intelligent adventurer of a gangster type, he loved adventure and lacked any moral scruples. The list of his activities is, in a way, astonishing – he participated in the Nazi Party's struggle for power, a series of eliminations of political opponents abroad, operations during the Sudeten crisis, and the subsequent dismantling of the republic. As the head of the technical department of the SS security service, he prepared compromising documents against Marshal Tukhachevsky, established a brothel for the chosen few with numerous wiretaps, and helped prepare a trial project for the mass production of counterfeit banknotes in Sachsenhausen. The pinnacle of his career was the actions in Gleiwitz, where he provided the pretext for the attack on Poland and triggered World War II, while the kidnapping of British intelligence agents from Dutch Venlo offered the same for the western campaign. The description of Naujocks's career is set within a broader historical context, providing an informed and unique insight into the behind-the-scenes of history.
