  Operation Anthropoid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
During World War II, the Czech-British Operation Anthropoid was the assassination of top Nazi leader Reinhard Heydrich, the chief of Reich Main Security Office, the "Protector of Bohemia and Moravia" and the chief planner of the Final Solution, the Nazi term for the genocide of the Jews during the Holocaust.
No Czech or Wehrmacht doctors were allowed to operate on Heydrich - rather, Himmler sent his personal physicians to conduct the surgery themselves.
The story of this operation was the basis for the 1943 film Hangmen Also Die, the 1964 film Attentat and the 1975 film Operation Daybreak.
