The direct cause of Heydrich's death was not an infection of the wound. The truth was revealed more than half a century later: the shrapnel was poisonous. Before watching the movie, I thought the climax was the assassination, but in fact the real story seems to start at the moment of the assassination. The momentary transition from bland to climax is a powerful narrative, with an unpredictable plot unfolding: in order to hold on to a doomed position, they keep only the last bullet for themselves. There is no need to waste pen and ink at all, and the director has no intention of infecting the audience with the tragic soundtrack. A once hesitant fighter has learned to teach others how to fight calmly. A fighter who can sacrifice everything for his comrades can only wait quietly in the basement for the last gunfire to die. As the Nazis flooded the underground offensive, the fighters, who had completed Operation Ape, fought the enemy to the last minute. The seven people stood there for six hours, and this historical fact alone can illustrate their heroism. The test of human nature under extreme conditions can reach such heights, which in itself makes people feel excited and weep.
