I am still trying to put a name to this Heydrich adjutant in Prague. I found him mentioned in one of the biographies on Heydrich (either Gerwarth or Dederichs) but I now can't remember where. Could this be the elusive Schulze who Jaroslav Cvancara incorrectly identifies in his books? The man wrongly identified by Cvancara is, in fact, Hermann Kluckhohn. Anyone help please?

Could it be SS-Hauptsturmführer Scheidler who was one of Heydrich´s adjutants?

That's the name I was looking for! Thanks Michal. Anyone know his first name please?
Max.

Found it! I think it is ARTHUR Scheidler.
While I am about it, Cvancara incorrectly identifies Kluckhohn as a 'Schulze'. I cannot find any 'Schulze' on Heydrich's personal staff. It is most unlike Cvancara to make such a mistake. Does anyone else know of a 'Schulze' in these circumstances please?
Max.

Max,
Cvancara refers to Wilhelm Schultze who was a high ranking officer of gestapo in Prague. But his face is unknown to me. I have never seen it in any publication.

Michal,
Cvancara clearly identifies Kluckhohn twice in separate photos as Schultze, which is obviously wrong. I think in both images, Kluckhohn is wearing an adjutant aiguilette.
I too do not know the appearance of the Gestapo Schultze.

You are correct Andrey.

Cvancara clearly identifies Kluckhohn twice in separate photos as Schultze, which is obviously wrong.

So these photos are not of Wilhelm Schultze but Kluckhohn?

Wilhelm Schultze name comes up in investigation of Heydrich's assassination.
From VIERTELJAHRSHEFTE FÜR ZEITGESCHICHTE, Oct 1985:

"Am Tage des Attentates waren der Leiter der Ermittlungskommission Heinz Pannwitz, der Referent für Fallschirmspringer Wilhelm Schultze, der Leiter der Gestapo Dr. Otto Geschke und der Befehlshaber der Sicherheitspolizei und des SD im Protektorat, Standartenführer Horst Böhme, zum ersten Bericht gegen 15 Uhr zum Staatsminister Frank bestellt."

"Einmal verständigte er den zuständigen Sachreferenten, der das Sachgebiet Fallschirmspringer bearbeitete, Kriminalrat Schultze, der sofort durch bereits festgenommene Fallschirmspringer feststellte, daß es sich bei den in Lidice verborgen gewesenen Fallschirmspringern nicht um die Attentäter handeln"
