Unequivocally the most important event in Czechoslovak resistance.
Wiki has a short article about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Reinhard_Heydrich
Village of Lidice was massacred as part of retaliations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lidice_massacre
Movie [Anthropoid](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4190530/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0) (name of the operation) is probably the best portrayal of those events. Can’t recommend it enough.
Nice to know he is dead even 80 years later.
