Tempted by the letter, he plotted to kill Reinhard with one of his subordinates, {{rank|ge|lieutenant}} [[Fugenberch]]. First, he ordered Fugenberch to tamper with the [[Panzer IV|tank]] assigned to Reinhard and [[Siegfried Kircheis]] such that they would run out of fuel during their reconnaissance mission and be trapped behind enemy lines. However, both of them returned back to base unscathed, forcing Herder to take a direct approach. He announced an attack on an Alliance base on the planet, and attempted to lure Reinhard away to kill him while in the midst of combat. Unbeknownst to Herder however, Reinhard had already surmised his plot and used this opportunity to turn the tables against him. Having caught red-handed in his attempted murder and fearing his entire family would also be executed if he were court-martialed for high treason, Herder committed suicide by leaping off into a valley. Nevertheless, his second in command, {{rank|ge|commander}} [[Martial]], who had witnessed his attempted murder of Reinhard, decided to cover up the cause of Herder's death as he felt that attempting to indict Marquise Beenemünde would be futile and even dangerous.
