How to be a rookie assassin

This is a movie that is not too different from other films that describe assassinations, such as "Assassination of Hitler", "Assassination" and so on.
Even though Jozef and Jan are trained airborne troops, it is clear that they are still rookies as assassins. The rookie assassin is going to do a big thing that will make a world sensation. You can imagine how difficult it is. That stupid, it really makes people catch chickens. How did the British train them? Are their coaches slaughtering pigs?
The two rookies described at the beginning of the film can only figure out when Heydrich, who is about to be assassinated, will come and go, and the survey of the ambush location does not seem to be particular, just find a bright road without covering it. Stop and shoot. Then, without exception, the two also had a real love for the beautiful girls who both appeared. Is this Nima here to perform a mission or to pick up girls?
To write about love, of course, many similar movies have to be written, which is not surprising. Heroes and beauties have stories. However, these two people knew that they were about to face danger and might sacrifice, but the sperm and worms were on their minds. This is not like what a hero does. Wouldn't the hero consider the safety of others? Wouldn't he restrain his urge and pretend not to love him?
When the assassination was about to happen, their action was even more hasty. It is said that Heydrich was going to leave, regardless of whether he was well prepared in the early stage, and acted recklessly. How could such an assassination operation be certain?
As one of the resistance group members said, you have to make a plan to retreat or escape. How can you do it without thinking about the way back? Indeed! Look at those seasoned killers, almost all of them plan the retreat route clearly, and even prepare two or three sets of plans before they start to act. And a few of them, too young too simple, sometimes naive!
When the action begins, it's really a dish! Stop the car, and let people cross the road, courting death? Won't you find a bicycle, an ox cart, a dung cart, or a car to stop it? Then Jozef ran to the front of the car and shot, he was clumsy and misfired. Haven't this gun been tried? I think the two German officers were very heroic, they jumped out of the car calmly to fight back, while the rookie assassins panicked, banging bang bang bang bang, without any rules, they ran away first, and after they finished running, I don't know what happened to the assassination target.
It seems that Heydrich deserves to die. Even if he encounters such a rookie assassin, he has not escaped the death of the god of death. He actually spent a few days in the hospital and died. This can be regarded as the achievement of several rookie assassins.
Next, the rookies hid in the church, waiting for the resistance to rescue them. They knew that there was a secret passage where they could escape, but they did not open up the wall of the secret passage as soon as possible. While the three airborne soldiers upstairs were stubbornly fighting the German devils, the other four airborne soldiers hiding in the cellar just held their breaths and listened to the slaps above, but they did not think of any way to help the three comrades in arms. In the end, he was trapped in the cellar by the German devils by flooding, shot all the bullets, and then committed suicide by swallowing a gun.
This is the most tragic and tragic assassination I have ever seen. I feel that this is definitely not done by trained airborne soldiers. It seems that patriotic students may do it better than them. I don't know if the actual assassination process is like this, or if the director deliberately made them so "delicious" to show that these heroes are not "heroes" at all?
It's like the description of Jan being so nervous that he can't use a gun, and the whole person is paralyzed on the ground. Is it really so fragile inside? Of course, when describing heroes, don't just blindly "get high", don't artificially elevate them, and don't pretend to shout slogans, but do these trained warriors still look like they've been trained?
In my opinion, the best shot in the film is the scene where the Germans went to search for Maria's house. The 17-year-old Atta was playing the violin, and the Gestapo quietly rushed upstairs to the door of his house. It came to an abrupt end, and the Germans broke in.
Later, the Germans smashed Atta's fingers viciously with a hammer...
A rookie assassination operation was a fluke!
But the revenge of the Germans was also insane. If the assassins had a more thorough assassination and escape plan, a sharpshooter, a better demolitionist, or something else, maybe the ending would not be so tragic and tragic!
Operation Ape, now I understand why this operation is called "Ape"!
