- Deserved Assassination of Reinhard Heydrich - Operation Anthropoid - Lidice Massacre - World War 2. Reinhard Heydrich was born on 7 March 1904. In 1922 Reinhard Heydrich joined the German Navy and in 1931 he joined the Nazi party and the SS.
Heinrich Himmler, chief of the SS, was immediately impressed with Reinhard Heydrich and appointed him the chief of the Gestapo which was the official secret police of Nazi Germany and the SD which was the intelligence agency.
Heydrich was also a driving force behind Kristallnacht or the Night of Broken Glass which was a series of coordinated violent riots against the Jews throughout Nazi Germany on 9-10 November 1938.
It was also Heydrich who organized the Wannsee Conference which was held on 20 January 1942. The purpose of this meeting of senior government officials and the SS was to ensure their cooperation in implementation of the so called “ Final Solution to the Jewish question “ which was a Nazi plan for the genocide of European Jews during World War II.
On 27 September 1941, Heydrich was appointed Deputy Reich Protector of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia which was the part of Czechoslovakia incorporated into the Reich on 15 March 1939. To exact retribution for Heydrich's brutal rule and to help confer legitimacy on the government-in-exile, Edvard Beneš - the president of the Czechoslovak government-in-exile approved the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich. This assassination was codenamed - Operation Anthropoid.
After months of preparations, Jozef Gabčík and Jan Kubiš attacked and wounded Heydrich when he was being driven to his headquarters in Prague on May 27, 1942.
The Nazis were desperately looking for the assassins and thousands of people were arrested. Soon after the Gestapo obtained a love letter which they incorrectly linked to the village of Lidice. The following destruction of the village and execution of its citizens occurred on June 9, 1942, on Hitler’s direct order.
In total 340 inhabitants of Lidice were slaughtered - 192 men, 60 women and 88 children.
In the end, some kind of justice was served. On 21 May, 1946 the People’s court in Prague sentenced Karl Hermann Frank, the Nazi Minister of State for Bohemia and Moravia who was among the top leaders responsible for the massacres in Lidice and Ležáky, to death by hanging. 7 surviving women from Lidice sat in the front row to watch without pity as Karl Hermann Frank was hanged.
Although justice can never bring back the lives of the Lidice victims, it was only after Heydrich’s assassination that the United Kingdom and France agreed to dissolve the Munich agreement and return the annexed Sudetenland back to Czechoslovakia after the Nazis would be defeated.

There are clips of Heydrich showing love and affection to his own children; the next day he would send children to their deaths. It boggles the mind.
They're people in positions of power who forced an untested mrna Frankenstein monstrosity onto children as young as five, knowing that it isn't A Vaccine and that its literal poison. And yet Even Now media and politicians pushes the poison as a safe and secure response to a virus that has a bit of data created and patented by Moderna before the plandemic even began!
Of course, I'm not defending Nazis! But murderers comes in all forms!
The innocents slaughter after his murder was on Nazis head too.
It's called hatred and hiding .....fear of getting outed.
He’s where he should be. He deserved any miserable fate he got and what’s he’s gotten.
Been to Lidice, small place but its history cannot be forgotten, and we should never forget!
Partisan activities aré forbbiden in war.
You know you've really arrived when Hitler's your boss and he tells you you have an iron heart.
He was not missed by anyone with normal ‘human feelings’. I think it was only a shame he didn’t suffer a longer, more painful death. It’s also shameful that so many innocent people died in revenge killings.
Imagine being called the butcher of Prague and 33 thousands czechs attended your funeral.

@@milangacik-repcik1224 Wrong, champ.
You should read "unconditional hatred" by Russell Grenfell, Gruesome Harvest by Ralph Franklin Keeling, Other Possess by James Bacque, Hitler, Churchill and the unnecessary war by Patrick Bucahan or The nameless war by Archibald Ramsey of a few to get another perspective on that era. It's never black &white good v evil that we're told. Hope this helps
This despicable excuse for a human deserved all the agony he suffered in his final days. Condemning innocent people including small kids to death. Then for reprisal his demonic comrades wiped out an entire village. As a side note many years later his family offered to renovate his wartime residence in Prague but the Czech govt said thanks but NO thanks
And his younger brother Heinz Heydrich wanted no part of his crimes.
Why should the Czech people take anything from the Heydrichs after what Reinhard Heydrich's fellow Nazis did to them out of spite?
Not to mention Adolf Hitler's ridiculous demand that the Czechs give up the Sudentenlands.
He deserved more...
More suffering
He would have been full of morphine he never suffered ...Aka 'Hitler's Hangman'
Heydrich got much less than he truly deserved.
This guy is just one out of so so many, they all deserve awfull things done to them and drawn out as long as possible. Once in down, have them operated on and heal and redo the whole process agian as long as possible. A million times.

The photo at 4:31 is astounding. The brave looks on the faces of the soon to be executed.
Heidrich didn't suffer nearly long enough. Maybe the worst of the worst.
He is awaiting ultimate trial and then long time suffering...
There are two movies about Heydrich's assassination, one Czech, one English. Also, there are numerous information materials including videos and books. Now days, some rewriters of history want to question Heydrich's assassination, but in spite of Nazi reprisals, its value is very clear.

In the 1960's I read the nonfiction book - The Assassination of Heydrich. Not only were the people of Lidice murdered, the whole town was bulldozed. It was total human and physical elimination. This example effectively eliminated the resistance in Czechoslovakia.

Before I even watch this video, let me say, “Their we’re no tears shed for Reinhard Heydrich.”
Reinhard Heydrich was a man of intensity. Intensely loved music, intensely womanized.. but most importantly was intensely scrupulous about his job. He bullied his way around the SS and ultimately became a feared figure.
Just to put things into perspective, when Heydrich died no reservations were made for his mother. She died amongst the rest of the civilians attempting to escape Berlin, from starvation. All letters sent to him about his mother and fathers condition were dismissed by him prior to his death.
There is even rumor that Himmler, when visiting Heydrich while he lay seriously injured quietly told his Doctors "Let him Die"! The fact that theSS Doctor that Himmler summoned did not use the drugs that may have saved him seems to hint at that. Himmler feared him as he knew Heydrich was his Intellectual Superior in many ways and getting rid of him this way was easy and did not implicate him in any way.
@@balancedactguy I’m not so sure. Himmler and Heydrich got on very well and always professionally. Heydrich was climbing the ladders in other directions. There was whispers in Berlin just before his death that he was to be moved to be governor of Vichy France. From my readings anyway Himmler and Heydrich held no skepticism about each other.
@@eoinbarry8124 Well, Hermann Goering once said "Himmler has a Brain, It's called HEYDRICH" Apparently it was known Heydrich was smatter than Himmler. Any ladders Heydrich was climbing were in the SS so he could still have surpassed Himmler and replaced him. At one point I saw Heydrich held about 5 different important positions for Nazi Germany. I can't imagine Himmler badmouthing Heydrich openly, a man who accomplished so much, but that does not mean at some point Himmler could not have developed an insecurity about him, a man who seemed to surpass him in ability...especially if Goering took note of it. . Himmler was very aware that he himself, among many other Nazis, had NO combat experience in WW1, while so many others did! ....yet Heydrich, of his own volition, got Pilot Training AND participated in Aerial Combat. Something Himmler could never do. Heydrich was Smart, very Ambitious and could easily surpassed Himmler in time. Hitler thought SO MUCH of Heydrich he granted him a status that allowed him to talk to Hitler most anytime he wanted WITHOUT going through any channels to access Hitler (like having to make Appointments through Martin Borman first). That in itself, over time could be seen as a threat by Himmler. Had the War gone better for Germany, there was also talk that Heydtrich could have been named Hitlers successor even bypassing Goering. The fact that Himmlers doctor did not give Heydrich the antibiotics that may very well have saved him should tell everyone something.

Thanks to Karel Curda, one of the Czech agents who became the collaborator and sold them out to the Nazis. Fortunately, the traitor was executed after the war. Had he not done that, the assassins would've live to tell us their story with their own words.
@@ernestw2474 Indeed. This fact seems to be omitted from most documentaries you see on Anthropoid nowadays.
They were terrorists.
I’ve never seen the picture at 4:30 - 4:31 before. Insanity
One thing left out is that to achieve his goals, Heydrich also knew how to offer carrots as well as sticks which made him all the more effective. For example, in addition to his documented brutalities regarding the Czechs, to increase production at the Skoda armament factory he initiated benefits like increased wages and rations as well as unemployment insurance, which did indeed help bring about the desired result of turning out more arms for Germany.

There were no tears shed for Reinhard Heydrich!
It's hard to think how humans can become so Evil, Dark, Emotionless..
They truly didn't see Jews or other ethnicities as humans. They actually believed that they were subhuman. It's wild
Hitler blamed Heydrich for Heydrich’s death.
Riding in an unarmored Mercedes-Benz convertible was stupid, the leader said.
Interesting video!
True, there are terrible people and their common trait is they consider themselves predestined for superiority and capability over others - even their own kind or race! They constantly psych themselves with this attitude!
Their organisational skills are more hard work and fanatical determination rather than talent, just to propell themselves to the top.
The proof of their loyalty, is to crush any opposition to fulfill the "intentions" of the Boss, even the unspoken ones!
They are "ordained" family of all the ruthless whose works bring ruin murder misery and death to others as by magic!
They may succeed in some revenge but eventually pay the price!
This is what I don't understand! If Heydrich was so "talented", why was he relegated to an inferior posting like Governor of Bohemia and Moravia? Why wasn't Heydrich in Berlin coordinating things? My guess was that Heydrich was so evil, GOD HAD to get rid of him early before he could do any more damage than he already did! He was evil incarnate and IS paying for it in everlasting torment in the infernal region!
Prayerfully,
Andy
Don't be absurd. There is no god, and the holocaust proves it.
It wasn't an 'inferior' post. It was his job. As head of Gestapo he was tasked by Himmler to go to the areas conquered by the army and subjugate the populace. Included in that was elimination of Jews and Slavs, and anyone who was sympathetic to the Czech government and any resistance to the Nazi occupation. It was rumored he was to go to France next and do the same there, so it was good the Czech resistance caught Heydrich before he left their country.
I agree that Heydrich was so evil but if god exists “he” failed miserably at not having Hitler killed instead of wounded in WWI or killed in the beer hall putsch and in all the other assassination attempts including the Wolf’s Lair bomb attempt
@@frankyrubful Hitler, like Napoleon, was the antichrist! The evil that was prophesied in the Bible. It was supposed to happen. Besides war, like murder, slavery and all frailties have been part of the human condition since the beginning of time! Remember, Earth is a punishment. Our natural place is in Heaven, NOT here! There have been incidents in the Bible where God himself was angered and killed many people! For example, Noah's flood and Sodom and Gomorrah! Besides, there were incidents throughout recorded history where I would claim Divine intervention. In the Revolutionary war, at the battle of Monmouth, a British soldier could have killed Washington, yet he declined........why? When the British burned Washington, during the war of 1812, out of nowhere, a massive hurricane put out the fires and sent them packing! During the battle of Midway, the Japanese #4 scout plane was delayed half an hour due to catapult problems. That would have been the plane on course, to fly a direct route and spot the Yorktown! Even when the scout plane got there, it's transmitter wasn't working so they couldn't send the information back to Nagumo's fleet! Coincidence?!! I think not!! So to the Heydrich assassination, as I explained in my original post, too was Divine intervention. God WOULD help the righteous. Just for the record I'm Andy, Annmarie's husband and I'm responsible for the content of this post not her. Note. It is odd that it would take nine months for me to see your post for the first time!
Considering the sort of retribution the Nazis exacted after the assassination of Heydrich and how the assassins were betrayed and killed, with the benefit of hindsight, was Operation Anthropoid really worth it?
I think so, and here's why. For all of his evil, he was a highly intelligent and efficient man. Had he survived, he may have prolonged the war and the genocide of the Jews may have been even more massive. It's hard to understate his importance to the German killing machine.
Yes, the Czech government in exile did the right thing when it executed Heydrich. A bomb blew up Heydrich's ass and drove pieces of car upholstery into his intestines. What a way to go!
Quite simply, yes it was!
Imagine the evil that would have occurred in addition to all the other Nazi crimes, had he lived!
No one deserved to die a slow and lingering death more than this evil bastard!
You have really gone astray when Hitler names you "the one with an iron heart". That is some feat.
I had an office once, with address Lidice str. It's not one of our capital's big streets, but it's well known for its prominent location.
Where is it ?
I don't know if this is any kind of justice, but the fact is that these criminals' names will forever remain in infamy. Their names will forever be putrid, associated for all time with abject cowardice. Forever is a long time.
Forever is long, memories are short. To see the rise of “white power” neo-Nazi groups in this country is sickening; they know nothing about what they’re imitating. They’re in it for the Doc Martens.
The only thing that saddens me about his death is Nazi revenge on people. Otherwise i'm dancing like Gene Kelly...
It seems that at least one piece of shrapnel that went into Heydrich had first passed through the seat of his Mercedes. Back then, seats were stuffed with horsehair, which apparently carried a lot of germs, contaminating his wounds and later causing sepsis. Heydrich died of a massive infection...which probably would have been cured if the doctor had decided to administer the antibiotic he chose not to use. Heydrich's last hours were apparently very painful...not painful enough, of course!
The cold stare of a brutal killer! Good riddance! Kudos to the brave Czeck soldiers!
He could have been a great musician intead he choose align himself with the devil.
I know that news traveled a lot slower back then but I'll still never understand how it was able to get this bad.
If he didn't feel pain when he was wounded he's feeling pain now burning in hell.
If you had the slightest comprehension of Holy Writ, you would know that no one is sent to Hell until after the Great White Throne Judgement.
Three of the most prolific writers of the Bible were murderers.
@@jacksonreilly3441 Please ease up. A lot of people don't know that.
Actually the execution was at 10. june 1942...at 9. june they came to village and make sure no one left village, they wait until arrive of Karl Herman Frank...after that women and children younger 14 years were move to Kladno and all men were shot(eldest was 84, youngest was 14). Then they burned whole village, also exhumated all dead at cementery and destroyed bones...they also found out 7 men, who weren´t at village at 9. june evening, and all of them were killed at Praha-Kobylisy16. june 1942, women were send to Ravensbruck and children to Chelmo(except 7 children, whose were given to re-education or how they call it for germanization)
Those Czechs fought brave. They thought they failed to kill Reinhard, but the shrapnel from the bomb punctured his shoulder.
Spleen, but yes
No mention of the fellow Czech resistance member and traitor Karel Čurda giving the Germans the location of the assassins for money? I would've thought that would be worth a mention.
I watched a detailed TV documentary about his assassination , about 10 years ago; planned in Britain by Czec's. Although the two men were eventually killed and many Czec people were murdered, as a revenge. I enjoyed the discription of his long drawn-out painful death, in hospital, from bloody poisoning apparently, as he begged God for forgiveness for his sins.
Thank you Philip for the info, that made my day.
who told you he begged for god, he was unconscious, bit of lie there, when you say many people where murdered it was a whole village.
It was much more than that, two whole villages (Lidice and Lezaky), and many people elsewhere on top of that.
I am afraid you are dreaming in technicolor. Heydrich's last words were a quotation from his father's opera "AMEN".
Really? He actually begged for forgiveness? I really hope n pray he suffered the most agonizing pain! And I hope while the poison was spreading threw his body he felt his own guilt. Unbelievable the horrors that he and the others like he brought upon the innocent people. Very dark times indeed. Must never forget
Great comments

Really annoying how people always make out the Nazi that they’re currently talking about to be the “architect of the Holocaust”. I’ve heard people describe Himmler, eichmann, heydrich, etc. with that same label depending on which one was the subject of their particular video.

Can anyone tell me what happened to SS Max Rostove the head of the Lidice massacre..
He was captured in 1948? Escaped and recaptured, gave testimony against some other Nazi officials who were executed. He was released and lived in West Germany where he died in 1986.
The Devil himself in human form.... Pure evil.......
A great fictional movie about the assassination is Hangmen Also Die with Brian Donlevy and Walter Brennan.
I’d never heard of that. And it’s on CZcams for free too!
BTW its one of the few movies in which Donlevy was the good guy. He usually played sadistic bad guys as in Beau Geste and Destry Rides Again.

never forget....
How can we possibly forget when they won't shut up about it? WWII ended 77 years ago and Germany was defeated. It falls into the realm of history, not current events. stop whining about it, put your crying towel away and give it a rest. IT'S OVER!!!
I like the follow up comments. Explaining the pain & suffering He went through for Eight Days, or longer. Good that He personally suffered like that. He was a Monster Like many others, of the Nazi's.
IT took along persistent period of, Time to finally end the Socialist Reign in the World at that time. IT is perplexing too study n think 🤔🤔 how Long it is for Mankind to see? Events come too a Fulltation, or a point! That was really foreseen a Good deal of time sooner. But yet they didn't see it as the time too Confront or End, that particular say Problem, by nipping it in The BUTT.
Before it becomes a Monster 👹💀💀.
In the End it was Good & Just that the Majority of the Criminals, left from The Third Reich, had to face the Judges, at Nuremberg like they Did. Whether or not those given Judgements we're Severe enough, too those Individuals? Is still being Questioned & Debated to present Day.
In closing my comment, I would just say, that World War II, cost the entire World Like 26 Million Casualties World Wide from September 1939 - August 1945. That was Six years of Destruction. The Final straw was the Use of Atomic Bombs to finally, make the Axis Power's stop thier pursuit of eventually having, Mankind totally Destroying the Planet on which we Live Today.
Please forgive? I may be over the Top here? I wasn't trying too be.
May God Keep US and Bless US All.

Screaming in pain?what a pity...not!!!!
Cruel collective punishment for innocent civilians
No mention of his time in The Luftwaffe?!!!
You're right. Heydrich did get Pilots training and even flew combat missions, once resulting in him being shot down behind enemy lines. After that close call, after he was rescued, Himmler himself forbade Heydrich ever to fly any more Combat missions. As a very important Government Official and one of the Highest ranking SS leaders though, I'm not sure if he was ever considered a member of the Luftwaffe, which technically would have put him under Hermann Goerings Command. In spite of being a Horrible Monster of a person, he did show bravery and a willingness to put his life on the line as a Pilot. That should have been mentioned.
@@balancedactguy he was shot down in Russia I believe.
@@DavidJones-wx4im Yes! Apparently he was shot down by Soviet Antiaircraft Fire on June 22, 1941. Fortunately for him he was near German lines and avoided capture.
He was in ranks of Jagdgeschwader 77, but he didn't achieve aerial victories. He flew with Bf 109 E. However, Heydrich flew enough missions to get Frontflugspange (= Front flying clasp) in bronze after 20 missions, or silver after 60 missions. Unfortunately there is not clear in pictures which clasp Heydrich had.
@@balancedactguy As a qualified pilot, Heydrich held a reserve commission in the Luftwaffe.

Heydrich was most likely cast into the eternal lake of fire where his worm will not die. We will all be judged in the end by our words and deeds. Heydrich most certainly got the reward that he deserves.
How do you know that ? You're welcome to your belief, but it's only as valid as another person's point of view.
Repent and learn of the Trinity that is God. The alternative is to join the likes of Heydrich someday soon in eternal damnation or total separation from God.

Watch Operation Daybreak Famous film
Superb picturization of the assasination of the butcher of Prague.
Director Lewis Gilbert did a great job.
The British cynically had Czechoslovakians assassinate Heydrich knowing the Germans would carry out revenge on the people meaning the people would stop working for the Germans. Just before the attack they had built the Germans a hospital train, after the attack they helped the Germans far less.
Agreed. British intelligence officials always made 'plan' with a sinister undertone. Unlike in Poland where partisans were active (mainly Communist) the Czechs were considered too docile. The PROBLEM was that the Krauts were known to be ruthless and due to reprisals in Poland the Polish government in exile eventually insisted that MI6 send a 'cease fire' order. Obviously what happened to Lidice was really BAD but assassinating Heydrich really didn't have a major impact on the overall direction of the war in 1942.
MARK FELTON......... isn't doing this page.
Sorry!
Were all those SS top ranks reserved for Cone-headed, shape-shifting aliens in human form?
Ridiculous bravado by Heydrich, driving around Prague with so little security and the top down on his motor...got what he deserved...
His ego was or had become so huge that he thought he was an immortal god sent to rule over the mortal humans. Hitler also thought he was immortal when all the assassination attempts aimed at him failed
these dudes saves so many lifes heydrich was going to kill millions and he had plans to do it with ease
Hydrich now dancing with Satan on hell

Glad he suffered but not enough in my opinion. FLY NAVY!!!
A mission that caused the needless deaths of 11,000 Czech innocents organized by an unrecognised government living in luxury in exile. This is not me saying I like Heydrich however his assassination contributed nothing to an allied victory and Himmler put together Operation Reinhard a month later that sent thousands of Jews from the Warsaw Ghetto to the camp at Treblinka in honour of Heydrich's memory
It may have greatly slowed down the "Germanization" of Europe, possibly saving countless lives

American born abroad. I was born in Frankfurt Germany, where Nazi doctors preformed experiment on my mother while pregnant with me, I have suffered ever since. I visited all the concentration camps, where I saw the scratch marks from prisoner trying to dig their way out of the gas chambers, the rows of ovens where they burned people, and knowing I was walking over thousands of dead people six foot down. My grandfather liberated these camps(two star General). The horrors, are too difficult to describe. Peace and love to you all.
✌🏻👊
Not a painful enough death by any means. Something medieval perhaps would have been more fitting & just.
It's what God had in mind at the moment, much better than he getting away, correct?
Luckily such a monster got his punishment😊
There is no justice but at least the Germans did not break their neck when they fall and I think they done that on purpose so they would slowly strangle to death some of them twitched and and shuddered for 20 minutes before they died. Field Marshals Cardinals and generals wanted to be shot and the judge said no you're not going to be shot as a military man you're going to be hung as a criminal
The face of evil.
A monster!
At least we were spared the "no tears were shed for" trope at the conclusion of the video. It would not have been appropriate anyhow since many many tears were shed for Reinhard Heydrich. One needs only to watch the memorial services in Prague and the majestic obsequies in Berlin to see the evidence of high regard in which he was held.
Heydrich was commissioned into the Luftwaffe Reserve before war broke out and then took leave from his duties at Prinz Albrechtstrasse to fly combat missions in his personal ME109. There are very few photos of him in LW uniform but I have one in the Max Williams biography, showing him standing beside his plane wearing LW "Bluse" and "Schiffchen". After his plane was shot down behind enemy lines, he fearlessly made his way back to German held territory. When Hitler learned of this, he banned Heydrich from flying further missions. His reasoning was that Heydrich was too valuable in his position as head of the SD and the RSHA to risk his life and service to the Reich. Adolf believed Reinhard was far too cavalier and did not take his security sufficiently seriously.
What a pity! The comment to which I replied has been deleted. I suppose the poor fool had no rebuttal when confronted with provable facts.
I was expecting much less from a ally channel.

Our Death and life on this planet is just temporary, also our judges and their judgement is just temporary most of the time corrupt, the problem starts when we appear before an Angry God who judges man Righteously and his sentence is everlasting; NEVER ends. Fear God, and Don't ever appear before him, remember Jesus paid a price so you don't have to appear before the Righteous Judge.
Unfortunately, if criminals face justice, it is at the hands of other men. There is no all-knowing, all-powerful, benevolent God watching over us. Otherwise, monsters like Heydrich wouldn't even exist.
@@Gwaithmir the Bible teaches that the god of this world, the prince and ruler of this world has an offspring, and they abide among us, Jesus called them TARES, they are also known as the Principalities, and wicked Rulers that are in high places, they are also reffered to as reptilians, aliens, and so forth, Jesus taught us that due to the fact they are exactly like us, the only way to know this offspring of Satan would be by their fruits.and their actions, they never Repent when they commit crimes and they hate God.
@@Gwaithmir You know better than the bible do you?
@@thomascampbell5633 Yes, I know better than a book of mythology written by ignorant, superstitious men who didn't have even the equivalent of a third grade education.
Dear Jesus, Have Mercy on us and on the whole world.
He HAS had mercy on us. He died on the cross for our sins. How we respond to that truth is our responsibility.
He has not even begun to suffer as he must stand before the Lord and give a account of what he did during his life. Justus is eternal.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 could you give us some proof of standing before God or is it something that was made up centuries ago and you believe it, if God was real then he wouldn't have allowed someone like him to live and commit all the murders, oh hang on ,it was God's will 🤣🤣🤣 sorry mate that type of thinking doesn't make sense in this day and age.
