Did anybody see this on Saturday? Watched the racing then turned it to ch.5 for the film. I've seen this film 4 or 5 times but this looked like a different version. I don't remember the bit where Hitler meets Heydrich at the train station.
On 9 June 1942, the Germans committed the Lidice massacre: 199 men were killed, 195 women were deported to Ravensbrück concentration camp and 95 children taken prisoner. Of the children, 81 were later killed in gas vans at the Chełmno extermination camp, while eight were adopted by German families. The Czech village of Ležáky was also destroyed, because a radio transmitter belonging to the Silver A team was found there. The men and women of Ležáky were murdered, and both villages were burned and the ruins of Lidice levelled.
In he film the germans give a blistering speech saying that the town will vanish from history, its name will be extracted from history , blah blah...
four towns are now called Lidice. One on the original site. the czechs made it a point to rebuild.
