At the height of World War II, two Czechoslovak soldiers exiled in London parachuted into Prague with the mission of killing Reinhard Heydrich, the third-ranking commander of the Reich after Hitler and Himmler. Nicknamed the Butcher of Prague, Heydrich was the principal architect of the Final Solution. With the help of a network of resistance fighters, they organized Operation Anthropoid, which, if successful, would change the course of history.
