An account of Czechoslovakia’s role in World War II, in particular with regard to the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich, head of the Nazi Secret Police. Recently discovered archive footage and stills are combined with dramatic reconstructions of the events leading to his death, and the German reprisals that followed. Reinhard Heydrich was considered the most dangerous man in Nazi Germany after Hitler himself. The plot to kill him masterminded in England and carried through to finality in Prague in 1942, is told in this gripping dramatized documentary special. Featuring meticulous reconstructions, coupled with authentic historical film, some of it never shown before the film powerfully presents a vivid account of the only successful assassination of a leading Nazi in World War II. It also chillingly recreates the terrible human cost of SS savagery against the Resistance and the total obliteration of the village of Lidice. |
