Sometimes after supper, Frau Heydrich would start to tell me her views about the war. But she never finished. âThe war,â she would say, âthe war changed everything.â And then, she would get depressed. And the evening would be over.

INSIDE THE SPIDERâS WEB
âMy husband did not want people who only said âJa!âââ
âLina Heydrich
Frau Heydrich was correct: the war would change everything. However, the Reich Main Security Office (RSHA), that great, complicated organizational âmachineââcomprising mainly a network of people working together under Heydrichâs controlâretained its essential outlines, even as its functions expanded and its momentum continued to accelerate.
Nazism, however, cannot be encompassed by any single metaphor or theory. Thus, Walter Schellenberg, who often described Heydrich as the lord of the machine, also characterized him as a black-garbed spider spinning threads of influence and intrigue from his lair in Berlin. This graphic depiction has some validity, for multiple lines of communication ended in the chair where Heydrich (sometimes) sat, and where he constructed his web of organizational connections from the inside out.
