Based on a True Story: Anthropoid

by Dan LeFebvre

Anthropoid is the story of how the Czechoslovakian government, forced into exile after the Germans occupied their homeland in 1938, tried to fight back and take down Reinhard Heydrich at the height of World War II. The title of the movie comes from Operation Anthropoid, which was the code name for the assassination attempt of SS-Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich. The term Anthropoid means "having the form of a human", and tells the story one of the most historic moments you've probably never heard of during World War II -- at least, until now.

I incorrectly assumed this was the book that the movie ANTHROPOID was based on. Both are based on the same historic WWII Czech resistance events, but this book was not particularly well written.

When 2 spies are sent into Europe to assasinate a Natzi leader, their plans fall very short of their objective. Many people are killed and much harm comes to the village where they are hiding.
