Features: This is a complete record book series of classic battle events during World War II. Reinhard Heydrich was the organizer (architect) of the Nazi terror organization and a close comrade-in-arm of Heinrich Himmler. In 1936, he served as the head of the Gestapo and the Security Department, and presided over the "Wannsee Conference" in 1942. On May 27, 1942, Heydrich was wounded in Prague by a grenade attack from Czechoslovakian resistance fighters and died eight days later without recovering. This assassination was the only successful operation among numerous attempts to eliminate high-ranking officials of the "Third Reich." For many years, the background and details of this assassination remained unknown. Today, 60 years later, the author Ha Yis, through the study of extensive historical materials and interviews with many individuals who were involved at the time, provides a detailed description and introduction of the action group that carried out the assassination, from its formation and training to the specifics of the operation.
