They fought like demons, and when all was lost, used their last bullets on themselves rather than be captured. If you want to know more about Operation Anthropoid, Wikipedia have a bit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Anthropoid, but I can highly recommend The Assassination of Reinhard Heydrich by Callum MacDonald. Incredible men, courageous beyond description.

I got a small book at the site in Czech and English, and it details the fallout from the operation, 14 year old girl shot dead for collecting a bicycle used by one of the team, whole families executed for helping. It is grim reading, but it reminds me that even in the darkest hour, there will always be people who'll stand up and give their lives for what is right. And a more inspirational message I cannot think of!
