The gauleiter of Berlin Dr Josef Goebbels is said to have reacted to the death of SS general Reinhard Heydrich in one of two ways:
1) Ordering 152 Jews in Berlin shot as a reprisial
2) Recording in his diary the deportation of 152 Jews from Berlin to the east with their property going to the Reichsbank
Which version is correct?
What was his exact diary entry?
