Ss. Cyril and Methodism Cathedral (Operation Anthropoid)
From Wikipedia
The Ss. Cyril and Methodius Cathedral in the New Town of Prague, Czech Republic, is the principal church in the Orthodox Church of the Czech Lands and Slovakia.
The existing structure had its origins as a Roman Catholic church built between 1730 and 1736 by Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer, dedicated to Charles Borromeo, archbishop and cardinal of Milan in the 16th century.
In 1942, during World War II, the cathedral was the scene of the last stand of a number of Czech and Slovak patriots who, in Operation Anthropoid, had assassinated Reinhard Heydrich, the Nazi SS Obergruppenführer and General of Police. Karl Fischer von Treuenfeld was in command of the troops that stormed the church on 18 June 1942. After a fierce gun battle, they committed suicide to avoid capture.[
Presently there is a museum in the church crypt dedicated to them as national heroes.

Crypt of the Orthodox Church of St. Cyril & Methodius | Prague | OTIS MCDONALD MUSIC
2 Minutes of MUSIC by OTIS MCDONALD
Title of Song: NOT FOR NOTHING
In May 1942, two Czechoslovak paratroopers sent by the government in exile in London carried out the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich, the Bohemian puppet state's Nazi overseer.
The paratroopers, along with several partisans who assisted in the plot, fled to the crypt of the Orthodox Church of St. Cyril and Methodius.
Another partisan however betrayed them to the Germans, who tried first of all to shoot their way into the crypt, then to flush the men out with water.
Sadly, on realising there was no escape, the resistance fighters committed suicide.
The dramatic story is retold in the crypt of the church where the events took place, entitled the National Memorial to the Heroes of the Heydrich Terror.
Photos from the period and explanations recount an event which is heroic, sad, and at the same time, frustrating.
The Heydrich assassination led to hundreds of innocent people, including almost the entire village of Lidice, paying with their lives.
The museum also tells the wider story of Czech people who resisted Nazi occupation.
