She was the daughter of a minor German aristocrat who worked as a schoolteacher. Lina met Reinhard Heydrich in December 1930, and was married December 26, 1931. The couple had four children. She claimed that she knew nothing about Reinhard Heydrich’s crimes committed while he was head of the ''Reichssicherheitshauptamt'' (Reich Main Security Office; RSHA). == Nazi Party membership == Lina's brother, Jurgen had joined the Nazi Party and was a member of the ''Sturmabteilung'' (SA). He spoke highly of the movement to Lina and she attended a Party rally in 1929 where Adolf Hitler spoke. Shortly thereafter, Lina von Osten joined the Nazi Party with party membership number #1,201,380. On December 6, 1930 Lina attended a rowing-club ball in Kiel and met then Naval Lieutenant Heydrich there. They became romantically involved and soon announced their engagement on December 18, 1930. In 1931 Heydrich was charged with "conduct unbecoming to an officer and gentleman" for breaking an engagement promise to a woman he had known for six months before the engagement to Lina. Admiral Erich Raeder dismissed Heydrich from the navy that April. The dismissal devastated Heydrich, who found himself without career prospects. Lina persuaded Heydrich to look into the recently formed ''Schutzstaffel'' (SS) as a career option. During 1931 SS Leader Heinrich Himmler began setting up a counterintelligence division of the SS. Acting on the advice of his associate Karl von Eberstein, who was both the Heydrich family and von Osten's friend, Himmler agreed to interview Heydrich, but cancelled their appointment at the last minute. Lina ignored this message, packed Heydrich's suitcase, and sent him to Munich. Eberstein met Heydrich at the train station and took him to see Himmler. Himmler asked Heydrich to convey his ideas for developing an SS intelligence service. Himmler was so impressed that he hired Heydrich immediately as the chief of the new SS 'Ic Service' or Intelligence Service (which would later become known as the ''Sicherheitsdienst'' (SD). Heydrich returned to Hamburg with the good news. He entered into the Hamburg SS on July 14. In August, he was transferred to Munich where he lived alone in a boarding house which rented rooms to unmarried SS men. Lina later stated that Reinhard Heydrich never read Hitler's book, ''Mein Kampf''. He and Lina were married at a small church in Grossenbrode on December 26, 1931. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lina Heydrich」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
