Heydrich too?

...Reinhard Heydrich, a young man of diabolical cast...was head of the S.S. Security Service, or S.D...(271)...had been cashiered by Admiral Raeder in 1931...for refusing to marry the daughter of a shipbuilder whom he had compromised...

No woman so easy to fuck could be Heydrich's wife, is the fuller story. So that action is characterized as "compromising" by William Shirer. If you have sex with a young man you are a "pervert."

The full-time sleuths of the S.D....most of them were recruited from the ranks of the displaced young intellectuals...A foreign observer, however, [i.e. Shirer] found difficulty in making contacts with these odd men, though Heydrich himself, an arrogant, icy and ruthless character, might occasionally be seen [i.e. by Shirer] at a Berlin night club surrounded by some of his blond young thugs.
(273)

Is not the implication that Heydrich was fucking "these odd men," "his blond young thugs."
