During the Third Reich many people joked "Himmlers Hirn heißt Heydrich" (="Himmler´s brain is named Heydrich")

At 1 million subscribers, you should do one about yourself.

You guys should do a video about Witold Pilecki, the Polish soldier who showed "balls of steel" by allowing himself to be sent to Auschwitz, created a resistance movement there, escaped, participated in the Warsaw Uprising in 1944, and was executed by post-war communists for his connections to the Polish government in exile.

A man who says, "I've been trying to live my life so that in the hour of my death I would rather feel joy, than fear" has got to have a story worth a video on this channel!

As a Slovak like is mandatory for me 😂😂

Crazy fact: The septicemia was caused by tiny horse hairs from Heydrich's car seat caught in the shrapnel.

Not gonna lie Reinhard is a really cool name.

Fun Fact:

He had a younger brother, Heinz, whom--much like Hermann Goering's brother, Albert--did not share his views. Heinz was initially an enthusiastic Nazi, but after his brother's funeral, the Gestapo gave him all of Reinhard's papers. As he read through them, Heinz, according to his wife, grew paler by the minute. He tore off his SS patch, and began helping Jews escape from Nazi-occupied Europe. He committed suicide by gunshot in 1944 when he believed the Gestapo had found out in order to protect his family. In truth, they never suspected a thing.

How many of our own political people would harbor such psychopathic tendencies? Keep power decentralized.

A classic and very moving, and mostly (but not always) accurate movie about the assassination is Operation Daybreak from 1975. I highly recommend watching it. The battle in the Cathedral was, frankly, epic. They lasted two hours against 750 soldiers who couldn't take them alive, throwing everything against them including flooding them with tear gas and everything else at their disposal. The Czech paratroopers were only armed with small arms and managed to kill around 14 soldiers and wound dozens more before killing themselves before being overrun.  They shouldn't be forgotten for their bravery against all odds.

Also the inspiration for the song "SS-3" by Slayer ("The Hangman of Prague")

Interestingly after the grenade went off it was fabric from the car seat embedded itself in Heydrich that caused blood poisoning and killed him.

Greetings from Czechia, thanks for covering this!


Found your channel couple of days ago and didn't stop watching it since then. Keep it up, loving your videos!

Rest in peace but never be forgotten Jozef Gabčík, Jan Kubiš and all who risked their lives or died to bring down an evil man.

I was in Prague a few weeks ago.  I toured the church/crypt where the final shootout took place.

I find it amazing that while Reinhard Heydrich was a monster straight out of hell, his younger brother Heinz Heydrich (who was also in the SS) helped many Jews escape by forging identity documents and printing them on presses used by the newspaper he worked for as a journalist.
After Reinhard’s death, Heinz got ahold of a package of his brothers papers, and through them discovered the scale of the Holocaust and what he brother was responsible for.

Could you please do Glenn T Seaborg? He's the man who discovered plutonium and the process to extract it for the Manhattan project, is credited for discovering 7 elements, had an element named after him while still alive, and as commissioner of the atomic energy commission helped with the disarmament of the US and Russias nuclear stockpiles

Brilliantly played by Sir Kenneth Branagh in the chilling film Conspiracy.

Do Constantine next. The man who made Christianity mainstream in Europe and converged the council of nicea.

I'd like you to do a biographic on Robert Mugabe. A modern tyrant also responsible for the deaths of millions.
