United Kingdom
Anthony Eden 1897-1977
In 1935 he became
foreign secretary
at the
extraordinarily
early age of 38,
although he resigned
within three years,
in protest
at Neville Chamberlain's
appeasement policy
towards Germany.
While he always had
an awkward relationship
with that other prominent
anti-appeaser,
Winston Churchill,
the latter's elevation
to the premiership in
May 1940
restored Eden
to the Foreign Office.
In 1940-1945,
and again in 1951-1955,
Eden was not only
Churchill's foreign
secretary,
but also his acknowledged
and uncontested
successor
as leader
of the Conservative Party.
However, he grew resentful
at Churchill's refusal to step down
and by the time he finally succeeded
Churchill
in April 1955,
he was already suffering
from poor health.

By June 1941,
when Germany invaded
the Soviet Union,
Himmler controlled
not only
the police
but the political administration
of the occupied territories
and, through his control of
the
SS,
the concentration camp system.
In 1943,
Hitler appointed
Himmler
minister for the interior.
In this post he oversaw
the
'Final Solution'
- the attempt to exterminate
all the Jewish people in Europe -
and administered the system
of forced labour.

Heydrich
was Hitler's right-hand man
and was tipped
to one day succeed
the leader
himself.
He was ruler
of the occupied Czech Republic
and by 1942
he had killed hundreds
and was
ferociously
stamping out resistance.
