In mid 1941 the British Special Operations Executive (SOE) was authorized by Winston Churchill to assassinate high ranking German authorities wherever they could be found. They sent two (2) operators to kill Reinhard Heydrich, SS Chief and basically Reich Protector of Bohemia-Moravia.

On May 27, 1942 at approximately 10:30 am, two Czech patriots, Jan Kubis and Josef Gabcik, parachuted from Britain into Prague, ambushed Heydrich's Mercedes and threw a bomb into the front seat.

Don't overestimate the target. Don't underestimate the assassin.
