Title: Assassination - Operation Anthropoid
Post by: paulr on 15 February 2022, 09:01:24 PM
I came across a book published by the Czech Ministry of Defense on Operation Anthropoid - the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich.

A pdf of the book, in English, can be downloaded here (https://www.army.cz/images/id_7001_8000/7419/assassination-en.pdf)

I've not read it as yet

I found this via this Forgotten Weapons Youtube video

Great find and interesting that it would lead to an official publication. I remember being in the city about 20 years ago on business and the taxi went past a church where people were putting lots of flowers along the street.  I asked what it was and quite by chance I had managed to pass the site of the last stand on the anniversary.  I walked back later.  So it is an event clearly embedded in Czech minds.

There's a pretty comprehensive display at the church; worth popping into if you're looking for something else to do in Prague.
