FW,

Actually the Beloved Leader was returning from a trip to China.

His special train had just past through the very place where
this 'accident' was about to happen.

Some may wish to connect the 'dots' and conclude that this 'accident'
was a missed Assassination Attempt on the Beloved Leader.

And 'if' so, planned by who... China, the USofA, or was it an inside job
?

One Wonders ~ RHF

Apparently the Beloved Leader had passed through the area NINE HOURS
before the explosion. That sort of time lag rules out an assassination
attempt.

At least a competant attempt.

Although circumstances can sometimes work against even the best
laid plans. In WWII a couple of Czech partisans attempted to
assassinate a particularly vicious and high ranging SS officer,
Reinhart Hayden I think his name was, the so called 'Butcher of
Prague', who was in charge of Nazi occupied Czechosolvakia and
was running the whole country like a concentration camp. They
observed his habits carefully and came up with a perfect plan
both for the hit and for their escape; and on the day of the
attack they confronted Hayden, pointed at him the machine gun
they'd trained and practiced with to the point of being dead
shots, squeezed the trigger... and the gun jammed.

Fortunately they had a back up bomb. The explosion when they
threw it incapacitated the Nazi with injuries and ultimately
killed him through infection.

Plans can go REALLY bad...

Reinhard Heydrich

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinhard_Heydrich


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Reinhard Tristan Eugen Heydrich (sometimes incorrectly spelled as
Reinhardt, March 7, 1904 - June 4, 1942) was an obergruppenführer
(general) in the Nazi German paramilitary corps - the SS led by
Heinrich Himmler. He was nicknamed The Butcher of Prague, The Blond
Beast and Der Henker (German for the hangman).


He also figures in the alternate history "The Man in the High Castle,"
by Philip K. Dick.

Plot Summary:
It's America in 1962. Slavery is legal once again. The few Jews who
still survive hide under assumed names. In San Francisco, the I Ching
is as common as the Yellow Pages. All because some 20 years earlier
the United States lost a war--and is now occupied jointly by Nazi
Germany and Japan.

This harrowing, Hugo Award-winning novel is the work that established
Philip K. Dick as an innovator in science fiction while breaking the
barrier between science fiction and the serious novel of ideas. In it
Dick offers a haunting vision of history as a nightmare from which it
may just be possible to awake.

Yep, him.

He was not only one of the main architects of the Final Solution,
AND the man who most made the SS the efficient and brutal
nightmare it was, but he actually fit the stereotype of the Nazi
superman: Tall, blonde, broad shouldered, narrow hipped,
fearless, brilliant, driven... completely devoid of humanity or
compassion...

Better dead.

It seems that a lot of the proponents of eugenics didn't fit the Nordic
"master race" stereotype, at least not physically.

It's people like Reinhard Heydrich that gave Nazis a bad name.
