Central Europe in WW2 is swalloved by n**i Germany. Czechoslovakia is turned to protectorate Bohemia and Moravia. Czech resitance and secret agents from Czechoslovak army in exile join together to assassinate acting protector Reinhard Heydrich, men who designed Holocaust and was sent by Hi**er to destroy Czech resitance for good.
This book is following moments and pictures from paratroopers from mission Anthropoid, Jan Kubiš and Josef Gabčík just berofe the action and after as same as fate of their friends from other missions in Prague and resistance members, who help them with everything possible even impossible.
Where to hide in Prague, when gestapo and Waffen SS is closing the city and search everywhere?
Seven Czechoslovak parachutists hidden in the crypt of the Church of St. Cyril and Methodius in Resslova Street in Prague for 21 days. From the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich to the very last battle in the church and the church crypt. This is the story of their fate there and the fate of the Czech resistance outside those very walls. Some of it really happened. Some things we can only hope and some things we will never know.
These are fictitious diaries based on the real historical events surrounding the Czech resistance and parachutists in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia during May and June 1942. Every single day is based on current research, historical documents, photos and the statements of the resistance members, who survived.
Unique atmosphere of certain last chapters in book was captured on identical place of gallery in church and crypt itself in identical time of real event just 75 years later. Light of sunrise in church, cold, dark, shadows of candle light in crypt. That all was same, what seven paratroopers really experienced in 1942. As same as courage, friendship, determination and will to never give up.
This book is not historical book. This book is something, you could find on your grandfather´s attic. Moments based on something too real. Story of real people.
