Heydrich was born March 7, 1904 in Halle, Germany, the son of a director of a musical conservatory; one of his compositions done several years before Heydrich was born was a work ironically entitled “Reinhard’s Crime”.  Richard Wagner would be one of his influences, and son Reinhard was exposed to him a great deal, becoming gifted on the violin 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 competative as possible with those around him.  He would also develop a hidden desire to get even, which would be put to use later on.

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 competative as possible with those around him.  He would also develop a hidden desire to get even, which he would put to use later on.  

When he came of age just after the First World War, he joined a Freikorps unit in 1919, and entered the German navy with the intent to secure a commission.  By 1931, he was a lieutenant and on his way to a discharge after a court of honor found him guilty of conduct unbecoming an officer: he had an affair with a shipyard director’s daughter, yet married someone else.  Jobless for several months, he secured an appointment to the SS, and after an interview with Himmler he was entrusted with the organization of the intelligence and surveillance arm known as the ''Sicherheitsdienst'' (SD; “Security Service”).
