The car in which Heydrich was assassinated is very likely the one exhibited at the "Egholm Museum" near Roskilde, Denmark. Mark Felton has a good video on the car, incl. why this has to be the right car, and why it can't be the one exhibited in Prague. Egholm Museum in itself is worth a visit. It has a very extensive collection of WWII related items small and large, a good small arms collection, and an interesting exhibition about Danish resistance in WWII. The WWII collection is truly impressive as for small items, and incl. a few armoured vehicles too. The only downside is that the museum is located two km from the nearest busstop.
I met a man who was a Polish paratrooper and had fought in operation market garden. He claimed that the sten guns were fine. It was the magazines that were garbage and they caused most of the problems.
yet when Hitler actually heard of the Assassination he was furious at Heydrich's blatant stupidity he used the same route everytime and he had been warned about it but his arrogance was his undoing here was the Head of Security for Nazi Germany driving around Prague in an open top mercedes saloon car with just his driver as Bodyguard as he stupidly thought No Czech would dare touch him and on 27th of May 1942 he paid for his arrogance courtesy of a grenade in his car what the driver shouldve done was put the boot down and get out of there instead Heydrich tried to show Bravado when he shouldve used common sense as in get the hell out of there Fast
As brave as the act was, the reprisals were so brutal that there wasn't any motivation in the future to carry out such attacks by the British. I do wonder if Heydrich hadn't been assassinated, what he would've done with his future assignments? He was assigned to France next, to quell the resistance growing but he met his end beforehand.
He was a high ranking capable Nazi. His death was a hard loss for the regime. It also showed they weren't thát powerfull. The reprisals would've happened anyway. Heydrich's false sense of security stemmed from his brutal handling of Czechoslovakia.
but he left his Horrific Mark on History The Einsatzgruppen and Das Endelsung or The Final Solution do not forget this Monster chaired the Infamous Wansee Meeting that set The Final Solution in motion also you should watch the Drama Conspiracy with Kenneth Brannagh as Heydrich as Brannagh got a lot of reviews about it yet he said studying Heydrich for the role Terrified him Stanley Tucci played Adolf Eichmann who kept the minutes at this meeting Colin Firth was in it too if you get a chance to find it online watch it

the Germans were pissed when Reinhard Heydrich, was killed the Lidice massacre was a reprisal for the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich 340 people and 82 children were killed
Revenge certainly was, pick one story, there are more. Also, the germans in Czech were used as an execuse to invade Czechoslovakia. Better not repeat that.
Great video! If you visit Poland again one day, perhaps you could make one about the Operation Heads (Operacja Główki in Polish. A more literall translation would be "little heads," a reference to the Totenkopf insignia). It was a series of over a dozen associations (including the attempted) of nazi officers and officials in German-occupied Poland, caried out in 1943-1944 by the Polish Home Army (AK). The most prominent successfully eliminated target was Franz Kutschera, an SS-Brigadeführer and Generalmajor of Polizei, SS and Police Leader of the Warsaw District.
The NS occupiers horrific retribution was anticipated by the British to make the population fight the occupiers. Through carrot and heavy stick methods, to a degree had Czech industry on track for NS war production. The Germans also spent huge sums restoring German style architecture in Prague. Frank always hated the Czechs. Was it all worth it, it all depends on what side you are on. The German occupiers certainly felt the anger of the locals at War's end. The English won, to a degree. 🙏🇦🇺
Thanks, Stefan. That was a great summary of events. Did you know or does one else know about the suggestion that the Nazis wiped out the village Lidice by error. I had read somewhere that an informer had bought misinformation or that someone mixed up the village with another village also starting with an L. Does anyone know of this?
From what I’ve read, ‘Anthropoid’ probably has the most realistic recreation of the assassination as you’re likely to see on film. A decent enough plan that turned into a shit show thanks to bad luck, but managed to succeed thanks to desperate improvisation & courage. Excellent but heart-stopping cinema.
Intriguing look at the events surrounding Heydrich's arrival in Prague. The video explores the potential for a conspiracy leading to his assassination. While the evidence is circumstantial, it raises interesting questions and adds another layer to this fascinating historical event.
The Sten didn't jam, he admitted afterwards to the most senior resistance member who survived the war that he failed to fully cock it and had done so during training, I also read that when the Germans tried the gun out afterwards it worked perfectly although I cannot remember the source for this the failure to cock it properly is in the book Seven Men AT Daybreak. A good film Stefan as for was it worth it, who knows ?
It’s a ver intersecting story and we are lucky there have been 2 movies made to visualise what happened. The assassins and families hiding them were really brave . All things considered I think it wasn’t worth innocent people taking the hard reprisals.. On the other hand, such an evil men could have caused hundreds of thousands more deaths. It’s a tough choice.
Interesting question: Was it worth it? Same could be asked of the Warsaw Uprising. Were there lives saved due to assination, prob not? Its almost a human trait to not live under such oppression, someone had to act. All gave some, Some gave All! I think putting the Nutzis on notice that that they were not safe anywhere in the occuied areas made it worth it. I think history shows tha, the fact that these men are honored, shows that society sees them as heros....anyway, just my $.02
It was an informative and wonderful historical coverage video about (Rhien hard Hardlich ) assassination by two Czech 🇨🇿 paratroopers... video shared by an excellent( history Hustle) channel .. introduced by Sir Stefan 🙏 . Before assassination Nazism regime committed ultra atrocious against civilian people, including Jewish ✡️ ...UVOD was not strong enough and wasn't a robustness network ...
ANTHROPOID "With its suffix -oid, meaning "resembling", the word anthropoid means literally "resembling a human being". Anthropoid apes are so called because they resemble humans more closely than do other primates such as monkeys and lemurs." Very interesting... Obrigado, Stefan! ヽ(͡◕ ͜ʖ ͡◕)ﾉ 🍀 🇧🇷
Was it worth it? Yes, it probably was. You don’t know what horrible crimes this intelligent and ruthless man might have gone on to commit. Those deaths might have purchased the lives of millions. You cannot know, therefore, do not judge.
One can only judge the outcome, not the events that would have happened because there are simply too many variables of almost infinite possibilities. I'm leaning on the view that it was worth it. The event demonstrated equal ferocity of the opposition and rattling German leadership and command ranks more than likely had knock-on effects, but again, far to complicated to really know.
Was the assassination worth it given the reprisals? Well, there's no way to calculate how many lives were saved through Heydrich's death and how damaging his death was to Hitler's war effort. I guess I would say that, in war, you do what you have to do to destroy the enemy's ability (and will) to fight, and Heydrich's death certainly advanced that goal.
I don't consider organised resistance worthwhile, the reprisals against the general civilian population are too brutal....but then, I have not lived their life.
meanwhile in Italy a new -toilet paper- book has been released reminding us how he was not a monster and how actually was a good father and a talented violinist First time I felt the impulse to puke (and I watched Salò thrice)
Heydrich was the architect of holocaust, by far the most intelligent of the top Nazis and almost certainly Hitler's eventual successor. War wouldn't have ended in 1945 if Heydrich would still be alive

very good channel(i follow it since a long time) keep on. Thanks for providing this content greetings from France
Merci beaucoup!
The Sten gun had a reputation for jamming it was cheaper than the thompson but being cheap could cost you your life
Thompson was fine in New Yirk but not up to the filth of warfare. Gangster gun.
I met a man who was a Polish paratrooper and had fought in operation market garden. He claimed that the sten guns were fine. It was the magazines that were garbage and they caused most of the problems.
no idea why they were provided with pos weapons.
@@julianshepherd2038The Thompson was extremely popular with Australian troops in the Pacific jungles. It stood up fine in those conditions.
@@julianshepherd2038 which is why it was used throughout the war by just about every allied nation (Including USSR) and in every theater .. lol
Amazing that Heydrich was so reckless with his security during wartime.
Arrogance, one of the many fatal flaws in Nazism.
he thought he had cowed the Czechs through his brutality. Hubris.
He was TOO confident in his abilities...

In December last year, I visited the church where the siege took place, as well as the memorial hall. The church was surprisingly small.
Indeed, interesting location.
Churchill only officially revoked the 1938 Munich Treaty after the assassination as a reward to the Czechoslovak government in exile.

Great video, Thanks BZ. Was the brutal retribution for his death a factor in the expulsion of Germans post war?

Heydrich was an architect of the Holocaust, and 'ruled' the Czechs with a brutal, lawlessness. He would have gone on doing just that.
In the beginning we see Karl hermann Frank, not Hans Frank. Good video.
I stand corrected.

Was the assassination worth it ?
What do you think?
Of course it was wort it. In war you need to be bold.
I think he was tipped to become leader of Germany - perhaps Hitler would have been deposed, I think that was why Heydrich was killed.
Interesting theory.
