Anthropoid — Czech Republic
June 18 1942 — the seven paratroopers make their final stand in the crypt of this Orthodox cathedral as 700 SS troops attack.
The five-hour battle ended with all seven paratroopers dead — by their own hands rather than surrender. The SS attempted to flood the crypt through a fire hose. The bullet marks and water damage are still visible today; the crypt is preserved as a memorial. The betrayal came from a fellow paratrooper bribed with 5 million Czech crowns.
