15 March 1939. Nazi Germany occupies Prague, and the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia is established under German control.

As repression intensifies, Reinhard Heydrich rises to power as Deputy Reich Protector, enforcing a regime built on fear, arrests, and executions. Known as the “Butcher of Prague,” he becomes one of the most feared figures in Nazi-occupied Europe.

In response, the Czechoslovak government-in-exile, working with British intelligence, prepares a daring plan—Operation Anthropoid. Two trained agents, Jozef Gabčík and Jan Kubiš, are sent into occupied territory with a single objective: assassinate Heydrich.

The attack shocks the Nazi leadership, proving that even the most powerful figures are not beyond reach. But the consequences are devastating, as brutal reprisals are unleashed across the Czech lands.

This is the story of one of the most daring resistance operations of World War II—and the heavy price that followed.
