Operation Anthropoid

Anthropoid is being released soon on netflix. It's a five star in my opinion for historic value, production and an A for action.

A suicide operation to assassinate Reinhard Heydrich in Prague that ended in a 6 hour fire fight in a church. The Nazi response was to eradicate 5K men, woman and children in attempts to locate these few resistance ops.

I also enjoyed the 1975 film about the same subject when I was a kid: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075019/

Looks great and the cast is stellar.

Some good WWII stuff coming out with Hacksaw Ridge and Allied.

Thanks for the heads up on this. I vaguely remember a b/w film probably from the early 60s that may have been based on Anthropoid. It was a long standoff with Nazis sandbagged in front of the church doors. It was many many years ago I had seen this, would like to know the name of the film.

Looking forward to Allied too.
