    This album came via eBay. , dated 4th-7th July 1941.
    It would seem that visits similar to this happened on a regular basis so in many ways, it is not out of the ordinary and Admiral Theodore Kracke was asked to attend to add a little bling for Herbert Backe, who at this time was a close friend of Heydrich's and who was a major player in the "Hunger Plan Ost".
    Backe took his own life in 1945,his family continued a friendship with the Heydrichs long after the war was over. IMG_1965.JPG IMG_1966.JPG IMG_1967.JPG IMG_1968.JPG IMG_1969.JPG IMG_1970.JPG IMG_1972.JPG IMG_1973.JPG IMG_1974.JPG IMG_1975.JPG
