Reinhard Hedley is a beautiful man with blond hair and blue eyes. He entered the Navy in his early years, but was removed from the Navy due to life style issues. He joined the SS in 1931, and in just ten years he became the deputy commander-in-chief of the SS and a police admiral. He is an innate intelligence genius, with super strong understanding and analysis, and amazing memory.
It is a pity that he was an extreme anti-Semitist early on. Because of him, the army killed nearly a million Soviet Jews, most of whom were women, children and the elderly. He first proposed the notorious "final solution".
Faced with this murderer, Churchill personally ordered the start of the assassination. Two Czech paratroopers accepted the task and, together with the Prague Resistance Group, started the "Operation Apes". When Heydrich's car was driving on a bend, a paratrooper immediately pulled the trigger, but was misfired. Seeing this, another paratrooper hurriedly took out a special bomb and threw it at the car. The bomb exploded and Heydrich was seriously injured. A few days later, he died of pleurisy in the hospital. It turned out that it was a very poisonous bomb.
After Heydrich's death, the German Gestapo retaliated wildly against the Czechs. Thousands of people were arrested and thousands were killed.
As the two arrested paratroopers rebelled, the Gestapo used this as a clue to pursue the investigation. Three paratroopers died one after another. Four paratroopers committed suicide.
When I watch this movie, I always feel that it is different from other movies. The thinking of the characters is very weird, and the personality of the person is too neurotic. It's normal to think about it. Our audiences are all living in peaceful times and have long been accustomed to seeing the world with peaceful times thinking.
But in the Czech Republic during World War II, the weak and small nations were bullied by the powerful Germany. People face death every day, face slaughter, and worry about the knock on the door of the Gestapo all the time. In the general environment of war, people are thinking about all issues in a state of terror. Even falling in love has almost become a luxury for the last days. The two paratroopers on the mission, no matter whether their actions are successful or not, the possibility of escaping in the end is minimal, so what they feel is the fear of expected death. In our opinion, it is far from being brave, fearless and calm. However, the leaders of the resistance movement said to them: "You are the bravest people I have ever seen." Only those who live in a war environment can express such sincere emotions.
Let us look at people like Heydrich. It stands to reason that his family environment and education should give him a strong humanistic spirit and moral quality, but in the end he became a devil. The controversy between "sex is good" and "sex is evil" has been going on for thousands of years. In my opinion, perhaps the seeds of good and evil coexist in people, depending on what the environment, the soil, is like. In the eyes of Heydrich and others, the criterion is only their racial beliefs and the protection of Nazi interests. What he lacks is a basic conscience.
Thus, a country that gave birth to Goethe Beethoven also created demons like Hitler Heydrich, and a soil that nurtured civilization also created evil. The German people are not only responsible for the lives of tens of millions of people in Europe and the dead of the Jewish people, but also for the ruins of Dresden in Berlin and the ravages of German women.
After watching the movie, what I want to say most is: "Peace is so good!"

Let's look at people like Heidrich. His family environment and education should have given him a strong sense of humanity and morality, but in the end he became a devil.The debate about "nature is good" and "nature is evil" has been going on for thousands of years. In my opinion, the seeds of good and evil may coexist in people, just to see what the soil is like. For Mr Heidrich and others, the criteria were their race and their defence of Nazi interests. What he lacked was a basic conscience.
Thus, a kingdom that produced Goethe Beethoven also created demons like Hitler Hydrich, a land that nurtured civilization and evil.The German people should not only be responsible for the lives of tens of millions of people in Europe, the souls of millions of Jews, but also the ruins of Dresden in Berlin, the ravages of German women.
After watching the movie, what I want to say most is: "Peace is really good!"
