On May 27, 1942, a paratrooper threw a bomb at Heydrich’s car in Prague, sparking an unprecedented retaliatory sweep that saw 15,000 people detained, killed or taken to concentration camps.
Heydrich, Nazi Germany’s highest official in the Bohemia and Moravia protectorate on the territory of today’s Czech Republic, died of his wounds on June 4, 1942. He was one of the main architects of the Holocaust.
To retaliate, the Nazis flattened two Czech villages the same month, before killing 254 helpers and family members of the paratroopers in a nine-hour execution at the Mauthausen concentration camp in Austria in October 1942.

so basically we were all right when we read the caption and thought why would the czechs honor the murdered jews in this manner? answer is they aren’t. its about their own. ok. thats allowed. gam charbona zachur latov.
It is not the Czechs but fools like “bored”. The Czechs who killed Heydrich parachuted from the safety of England , the result the city of Lidice destroyed to the ground, all the inhabitants men and women killed, children unless bliond sent to the gas chambers. In Buchenwald Czechs risked their lives and saved Jewish children. I wAS saved too mby Czechs. The problem is not the czechs but ignoramus liked bored and I am bored by ignorants of any kind
Thank you VIN fOR THE POSTING . The Nazis avenged his death by another method “Aktion Reinhard” which consisted of deporting Jews from Austria, Germany to Treblinka, Maly Trostinec , Majdanek and other extermination camps. Check out on the intenet “Aktion Reinhard”. Thank you VIN
Your website bring postings no one else. They are historically correct and deal with chorbin in Europe but what is detrimental to my health {I am 85] are the ignorant postings of some who log on and have not the foggiest idea of history and I believe too stupid to learn , sad
So, in retrospect, was it a good idea or not? Killing him caused a retaliation in which many people lost their lives. On the other hand, maybe they would’ve been killed in the Holocaust anyway, and maybe killing him had an overall positive effect by reducing overall deaths in the area.
Reb Yid he was master mind of the final solution and presided at the Wannsee Conference and his killing was a daring selfless act. His widow on a German website stated that waS HER husband did a was a “Weltanschauung” a hashkofo taking living, smiling walking children and throwing them into a gas chamber
It was absolutely a good thing to kill him. He was very close to Hitler YM”S. He was a completely ruthless, cold, calculating monster who liked to play the piano. I think he represented the very worst type of Nazi(not that any of them had any good in them). He was known as a problem solver and was the architect of the of plan to exterminate
the Jews. If he lived he most probably would have done more harm. Besides it must have shaken the top Nazis a bit that those untermenchsehen they despised managed to kill one of their top guys. Also it took him 10 days to die. I hope they were agonizing.
