@CitizenWald
in my history lessons I always felt kind of solace or justification about the fact how soon Heydrich got killed by assasination .

Here is the immediate aftermath of that assassination in an animated form, featuring st. Gorazd, who provided refuge for the assassins.

@js @enigma Yes, it is always a very moving experience to visit the church in Resslova where the assassins were betrayed and priests arrested.
Very good animation: thank you for sharing!
