Best Answer

Reinhard Heydrich was in the Reichsmarine (German navy) prior to joining to SS. He was dishonorably discharged after an "honor court" declared that some of his behavior was unbecoming to an officer. Apparently, he was quite a ladies man, and one young woman who was well connected felt that he had dishonored her. (Many feel that she was jealous when he ultimately decided to marry Lina Osten). Anyway, at the hearing he behaved in a very arrogant manner and was cashiered. HE had difficulty finding work after that was through family connections was interviewed by Himmler for a position -- developing the SD. At first he was not a very powerful person in the SS, but he very quickly impressed Himmler and became very powerful very quickly. HE was only 38 when he died of a disease after an assassination attempt backfired.

What was decided at the wannsee conference in 1942?

On January, 20, 1942, Reinhard Heydrich, Himmler's second in command of the SS, convened the Wannsee Conference in Berlin with 15 top Nazi bureaucrats to coordinate the Final Solution in which the Nazis would attempt to exterminate the entire Jewish population of Europe, an estimated 11 million persons. "Europe would be combed of Jews from east to west," Heydrich stated. The minutes of that meeting have been preserved but were edited by Heydrich substituting the coded language Nazis used when referring to lethal actions to be taken against Jews. "Instead of emigration, there is now a further possible solution to which the Führer has already signified his consent - namely deportation to the east," Heydrich stated for example when referring to mass deportations of Jews to ghettos in occupied Poland and then on to the soon-opened death camps at Belzec, Sobibor, and Treblinka.

The Wannsee Conference, chaired by Reinhard Heydrich, was a meeting of senior Nazi officials on 20 January 1942 and was organised to work out the 'nuts and bolts' of the 'Final Solution', that is, the Holocaust. The early stages of the Holocaust were chaotic, often starting with local 'initiatives' which were later rubber-stamped at the top.Contrary to what some older books say, it did not decide on the Final Solution. That decision had already been made (at a higher level) and the Final Solution had started.

How long did Joseph suffer before becoming second in command?

Joseph was 17 years old when he was feeding his father's flock with his brothers, (Genesis37.2), and he was 30 years old when he became 'second in command' (Genesis 41.46); so one could say that he suffered for about 13 years.
