Changes

Heydrich was born March 7, 1904 in Halle, [[Germany]], the son of a composer and director of a musical conservatory, Richard Bruno Heydrich. One of Heydrich's father's compositions, written several years before Heydrich was born, was ironically entitled “Reinhard’s Crime”.  [[Richard Wagner]] was one of his father's influences, and Reinhard was exposed to his music a great deal. He became a gifted [[violin]]ist within a few years.  A rumor a grandparent was Jewish, coupled with a slight build and high-pitched voice, caused young Reinhard to be introverted, and yet be as competitive as possible with those around him.  He would also develop a hidden desire to get even, which he would put to use later on in life.
