    Here is my completed 1/5 scratch bust I did as a gift for a friend, who is also Heinz' youngest son. This is my first complete model in 5+ years so I guess that's broken my dry spell. The bust was sculpted in grey sculpey firm and was painted in acrylics.

    Heinz was a senior member of Canaris' Abwehr and was involved in almost every significant plot against Hitler from 1938 to 1944. He was to lead the Stosstruppe into the Chancellery to arrest/kill Hitler in 1938. This plan fell apart when Chamberlain flew to meet Hitler at Munich.

    Heinz was also in the Bendlerstrasse on July 20, 1944 during the Stauffenberg coup attempt. He left shortly before the plot unravelled and, using his intelligence contacts, he managed to go to ground in Berlin and survive the war. He was one of the few plotters to escape with his life. After the war, Heinz founded the first independent West German intelligence service under Adenauer.
