Reinhard Heydrich Assassination By Cowdery & Vodenka

THE BACKGROUND OF REINHARD HEYDRICH, THE DETAILS OF HIS ASSASSINATION AND THE SUBSEQUENT DESTRUCTION OF THE TOWN OF LIDICE

Book Description:

Reinhard Heydrich was perhaps the ablest Nazi of them all - a SS-General, Police General, Luftwaffe pilot, a remarkable linguist, a wonderful musician and a superb bureaucrat. He was assassinated in Prag (Prague, Praha) in the spring of 1942 only a few months after Hitler appointed him the Acting German Governor of Bohemia and Moravia.

The story of the life and untimely death in Prague of SS-Obergruppenführer and Acting Reichsprotektor of Bohemia and Moravia, Reinhard Heydrich, is truly fascinating. The perfect German administrator, Heydrich rose through the ranks from relative obscurity in the 1920s to the pinnacle of power in the Third Reich by 1936.

His handling of the Protectorate was so successful that Churchill ordered his assassination in order to trigger a Nazi overreaction and turn the Czechs from willing Third Reich members into enemies of the Reich. Hitler was so impressed with Heydrich's results that he was about to promote him and place him in control of France and turn them into a strong ally! Only his untimely death prevented this catastrophe from happening to the Allies.

The story of the commandos that the British S.O.E. trained and parachuted into Czechoslovakia to kill Heydrich is absolutely incredible! The complete and unbiased story of those events is told here for the very first time, superbly illustrated with several maps created especially for this book and over 130 rare photographs, many never before seen.

This book is a complete and unbiased story of the events surrounding the assassination of SS General Reinhard Heydrich in Prague in the spring of 1942. Contains over 130 rare photographs and maps created especially for this 120 page, heavily illustrated book!
