Reinhard Heydrich

Yep, him.

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 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.
