Based on true historical events .
The target of the assassination in the poster is Reinhard Heydrich (Jason Clarke) , the infamous Gestapo leader who dominated the Holocaust .
The Gestapo was a secret police organization in Germany during World War II, similar to the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty. It was responsible for intelligence, surveillance, torture and execution, and finally carried out the Jewish Holocaust together with the German SS.
Although the real power of the Gestapo is not large, its omnipresent and omnipotent special functions have made the conversation between civilians and German military institutions change.
At that time, the No. 1 figure in Germany, the defense general, was caught by Heydrich for visiting prostitutes. He was eventually dismissed by Hitler on the grounds that "the most senior general cannot be tolerated marrying a bitch".
It was later confirmed that this was a trap designed by the Gestapo.
Because Heydrich's killing methods are extremely cruel, he was deliberately trained by Hitler to become his successor, with "blond beast", "hard-hearted man", "Nazi beheading officer", "death follower", " Nazi Demon King", "Black Prince of the Third Reich" and many other terrifying titles.
Maybe you will guess, what kind of a vicious devil can get so many terrifying titles?
But the real Heydrich is very unexpected.
Heydrich looked very good when he was young, blond and blue-eyed, with clear eyebrows, and wearing a military uniform is even more impressive.
Even if he is older, he doesn't look like a greasy uncle at all, and he looks very capable.
Because he was born in a musical family, Heydrich's musical genes are also very strong. Now, it's no problem to throw the little fresh meat for several streets.
Not only that, he is also good at various sports such as swimming, equestrianism, track and field, and fencing, and he often appears in some high-end dance parties.
There is no doubt that Heydrich was what Hitler called a carefully chosen nation .
And the truth is that Heydrich was Jewish too. He was humiliated because of his identity when he was a child, which also led to his extreme psychological distortion, and finally became the executioner who massacred his compatriots!
It is such a beautiful man with a good face, who did everything in the Holocaust, which is outrageous.
In September 1939, the iron hoof of the German army smashed Poland, and Heydrich, as the commander-in-chief, violently brutalized the Jewish people, causing many people to be displaced and homeless.
Heydrich actually filmed these as a glorious history of his own victories, as an entertainment program for leisure.
Two years later, Heydrich was promoted to the supreme commander of the German SS, and his repression and massacre of the people of the occupied European countries, especially the Jews, intensified.
Whether it was a woman with a baby in her arms or a burly man, with or without resistance, the Nazis brutally slaughtered unarmed civilians like cutting leeks.
Gather them together and lock them in a log cabin, and with just one grenade, dozens of people's lives will disappear in an instant.
Hundreds of people lined up beside the dug pits. The Nazis were executed one by one as if they were practicing target shooting. The dead civilians bleed into rivers, and countless large pits were quickly filled.
Heydrich, perverted as always, recorded the entire massacre.
In order to speed up the massacre, Heydrich recruited soldiers frequently and on a large scale. His eloquence is also very provocative like Hitler, and he often brainwashes his soldiers with just and impassioned reasons.
Killing is cruel to individuals
But against the SS, will get stronger
Some Nazis were nauseous and vomited when they first started killing people, but they became insensitive over time, and like Heydrich, the right to kill for fun.
Heydrich's slaughter is getting bigger and bigger, and the innocent undead are getting bigger and bigger.
But such a one-shot execution of civilians is too ammunition-intensive and too inefficient. Finally, at the Wannsee Conference in January 1942, he formulated a more "modern" version of the Holocaust: the Holocaust Final Solution.
That is, the heinous Jewish concentration camp Holocaust solution.
At this time, the population of European countries, whether they were pure Jews, or people with 1/2, 1/4 Jewish blood or intermarriage with Jews, reached a huge number of tens of millions.
These people are all regarded as Heydrich's massacre targets.
They are divided by gender, who can work to build railway bridges that will naturally reduce the number of Jews, and for others, apply for a more suitable mass murder program.
At the moment of crisis, the "Great Ape" operation finally came to fruition!
Operation "Ape" was Churchill's specially designed assassination operation against Heydrich, whose purpose was to end Heydrich's brutal and inhumane slaughter.
The assassination mission was carried out by paratroopers Jan Kubis (Jack O'Connell) and Joseph Gabisik (Jack Reynor). The brothers sneak into Prague alone, waiting for an opportunity under the cover of the Czech resistance.
After six months of meticulous preparation, the historic moment of assassination finally arrived.
On May 28, 1942, seven members of the assassination team set up an ambush on the road that Heydrich must pass, and took care of each other.
But Heydrich, who has a human face and a beast-like heart, hopes to appear in front of the public in a friendly image. He has no personal guards and only a driver by his side. The journey is leisurely and unsuspecting.
When it was too late, Gaby Hick suddenly rushed out and shot Heydrich with a machine gun. Heydrich was also so frightened by the scene in front of him that he immediately took out his gun, trembling.
Seeing that the life of this demon is about to end, I didn't expect the machine gun to jam!
At this time, Heydrich also reacted from the panic, and took out a pistol to hit Gabisik. But the bullet seemed to be hit by evil, and turned around from Gabisik's side.
Jan Kubis, who was in ambush, saw that the situation was not good, and then launched a second attack, throwing a bomb under Heydrich's car. The car exploded and caught fire on the spot. Heydrich was injured in the waist and was rushed to the emergency. Hospital.
Just when the assassination team that fled back to the safe place was annoyed and angry for not directly killing Heydrich, he did not expect that 9 days later, Heydrich, a murderous machine full of evil, died due to death, kicking his legs to meet the King of Hell !
According to records, the bomb was specially made for Heydrich, and the body was covered with deadly toxins. Heydrich once used poison gas to massacre Jews, and eventually died of biological and chemical weapons, and he "died well".
But this was also the beginning of the slaughter. After Heydrich's death, Hitler was inexhaustible, and the Gestapo carried out crazy revenge against the Czechs. Tens of thousands of people were arrested and thousands of people were killed.
And the village of Lidice , where Jan Kubis and Joseph Gabisik stayed, was also brutally bloodbathed by the Nazis:
All 173 men over the age of 15 were shot dead, and women and children were escorted to concentration camps.
Most of the 104 children in the village were killed in the gas chambers in Chemno, Poland, and only 17 survived after the war.
The Nazis also set fire to houses and razed villages in an attempt to wipe them off the world map.
This is the Lidice massacre that shocked the world and the origin of Children's Day!
In the end, the assassination team and the people who helped were not spared, and they all died heroically.
What makes people feel is that when the Nazis found them, everyone with weapons in their hands rose up to resist, killing one count as one, until the last bullet was exhausted.
When they were finally powerless, they also vowed not to be prisoners, or to kill themselves by drinking bullets, or to end their lives prematurely by taking poison.
No screams, no regrets, no slogans, what kind of courage and what kind of belief! Tragic and persistent.
Throughout the film, the film is very restrained in the process of telling.
As a World War II movie, "Assassination of the Gestapo" does not have the tragic bombing like "Dunkirk", nor the exciting charge like "Blood Battle Hacksaw Ridge".
It just calmly and highly restored that tragic history , and also witnessed the staggering brutality of the Nazi Party, especially the brutal poisoning of innocent people and children.
I didn't deliberately exaggerate my emotions, and I avoided routine preaching formulas, but the whole process was like drinking a large glass of ice water, and then two lines of hot tears poured out.
We are outraged at Heydrich's brutality, pity the slaughtered citizens, and lament the bravery of the assassination team.
But we don't understand war, just as we don't understand why the Nazis killed children!
