Reinhard Heydrich: The Brutal Assassination Of The 'Hangman Of Czechoslovakia'

The man behind the blueprint for the holocaust - Reinhard Heydrich - was nicknamed ‘The Hangman’. He ruled occupied Czechoslovakia with a rod of iron and thought himself untouchable. But in London, a top-secret hit squad had different ideas and marked him for execution. After five months planning, in December 1941, secret assassins staged a daring roadside ambush, in the heart of Prague in broad daylight. Heydrich died of his wounds eight days later.
