Worth seeing but not as good as Operation Daybreak
12 September 2016
I have always been interested in this Operation.I have seen the memorial plaque in the UK.I also saw an exhibition in Prague which commemorated the assassination and the deaths of all those who died as a result.I have to say that I did not like the camera-work where the camera was constantly moving.I think that Operation Daybreak is a better film as it showed a bit of Heydrichs time as Reichsprotector,and the attempts to save him.In fact the film only really gets going one the assassination is begun.The film does score heavily by showing the sheer dread of everyone not just at the repercussions but even knowing about the plot.It is interesting to note that Heydrichs was the only top ranking Nazi to be assassinated by the Allies.They did not seriously contemplate doing this again.Heydrichs was a monster who deserved his fate,but was the price worth it?
