So I've just been to Prague in the Czech Republic for a few days and stumbled across a small museum showcasing the details of Operation Anthropoid - a mission to kill a high ranking SS officer Reinhard Heydrich - the commander in charge of watching over Czechoslovakia












A very interesting museum and a very interesting story found here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Anthropoid

I didn't know anything about it until my visit, so I've bought the BluRay (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4190530/) and downloaded the Kindle book - as you would imagine all good Grogs would do once they found out about something.

Anyway - interesting - enjoy.

Thanks for sharing. Heydrich was a special kind of bastard.

Yes thanks JD.


Interesting name the Brits gave the mission, as if they were saying that Heydrich only looked human but in fact wasn't.
