Has anyone ever given thought to an event/mod where Reinhard Heydrich assasianted Hitler and took over? I think it would be very interesting to see the Prince of Terror takeover. Who knows what that cold hearted bastard could have done.

Why would an extremely loyal follower of the Führer do something like that?
Rather a scenario where Hitler is assasinated by some commie and Heydrich takes over and feels he needs to discipline the people after this attack.
In the book by harry turtledove "Man with the Iron Heart", Reinhard Heydrich survives his assasiantion attempt and lives on to lead the Nazi Resistance after Germany Surrenders.
He does so by going to Himmler and bluntly telling him that Germany is going to loose, and that they should prepare ahead of time for a guriella war to defeat the allies.
Had he lived to see it (dies near the end of the book) He would likely have become Führer Heydrich.
I was thinking that he may have possibly thought up a plan to remove Hitler and takeover so as to allow a German Victory in WWII. (even if it ended up being a hald victory)

Interesting book. I can see that one as plausible, but I don't think there's any way Heydrich would conspire against the Führer. They were just too loyal for that kind of thing.
