(Transliterated as Heydrich in the book)

Prince Heinrich of Prussia (1862-1929), the youngest brother of Wilhelm II, was a naval commander before World War I, but had no notable performance during the war.

Prince Heinrich, who had served as a naval officer since 1877, proved himself not only to be an honorary naval officer, but also to earn the respect of his aristocratic counterparts during the development of the German High Seas Fleet in 1906-1909.

But in 1909, his naval career came to an end because he opposed Admiral Dilpitz's radical policy of developing the German navy on a par with Britain.

Due to Heinrich's relationship with the Kaiser, he naturally would not simply be removed from his post, but simply lost the command of the High Seas Fleet, but was promoted to admiral and served as inspector general of the navy.

After the outbreak of war in 1914, he was appointed commander of the German Baltic Fleet, which was really not a prestigious role given his background. At the same time he found that he could not influence the naval policy of Tilpitz, and his proposal to annex Denmark and gain access to the North Sea was not taken seriously at all.

In 1918 he was relieved of command and retired from active duty. Despite the revolution and the proclamation of a republic in Germany, Heinrich was allowed to remain in Germany until his death in 1929.
