"It is best for the Czechs to work conscientiously, even if they secretly hope that if the Reich's fortunes falter, they will regain their freedom. The latter does not concern us. I need the Czech worker to participate fully in Germany's war effort..." This program was announced on October 2, 1941, by Hitler's new governor in Prague and head of the Third Reich's secret services, SS-Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich. This policy immediately alarmed London analysts. The Czech Republic was to be set ablaze. And less than a month later, military intelligence of the puppet Czechoslovak government in London received orders to begin a series of acts of terror against the top brass of the German occupation administration. Czech saboteurs trained in England carried out the mission at the cost of their lives. On May 27, 1942, Heydrich's car was blown up on the streets of Prague Castle. This single successful action significantly raised the prestige of the exile government in the eyes of the British... The Czechs who remained in their homeland, however, were forced to fully experience the brutality of German punitive operations. It was then that the villages of Lidice and Ležáky were destroyed, and the number of Czechs executed or perished in concentration camps numbered in the thousands. In this book, the reader will see the tragic picture of Czechoslovakia torn apart by the Nazis, the adventurism of the exile government in London, and the selfless heroism of the anti-fascist underground fighters.
