This week we invited fellow guide Sára Zeithammerová, an expert on Operation Anthropoid, in which two Czech paratroopers performed the most important assassination of the Second World War. Reinhart Heydrich was the aryan spawn of a hateful opera composer, and efficiently executed some of the darkest atrocities in history's bloodiest war. This week we e spend a double-length episode exploring the context, timeline and ramifications of the chaotic few minutes on the outskirts of Prague in June 1942. In a refreshing change of pace, Sara actually knows stuff!
