Válečně-historický thriller založený na skutečných událostech popisuje události kolem atentátu na říšského protektora Reinharda Heydricha.
TWO MEN. . . ONE MISSION. . . TO KILL THE MAN WITH THE IRON HEART
Based on true events, this gripping historical thriller is the culmination of Howard Linskey's fifteen-year fascination with the attempted assassination of Reinhard Heydrich, the architect of the Holocaust. With a plot that echoes The Day of the Jackal and The Eagle Has Landed, Hunting the Hangman is a thrilling tale of courage, resilience and betrayal. The story reads like a classic World War Two thriller and is the subject of two big-budget Hollywood films that coincide with the anniversary of Operation Anthropoid.
In 1942 two men, trained by the British SOE, parachuted back into their native Czechoslovakia with one sole objective: to kill the man ruling their homeland. Jan Kubis and Josef Gabcik risked everything for their country. Their attempt on Reinhard Heydrich's life was one of the single most dramatic events of the Second World War, and had horrific consequences for thousands of innocent people.
2017 marks the 75th anniversary of the attack on Heydrich, a man so evil even fellow SS officers referred to him as the 'Blond Beast'. In Prague, he was known as the Hangman. Hitler, who dubbed him 'The Man with the Iron Heart', considered Heydrich his heir, and entrusted him with the implementation of the 'Final Solution' to the Jewish 'problem': the systematic murder of eleven million people.
Based on the extraordinary true story of two men who risked everything in a mission to assassinate SS General Reinhard Heydrich, the Reich's third-in-command after Hitler and Himmler. In 1942 two men - Jan Kubis and Josef Gabcik - were trained by the British SOE to parachute into their native Czech territory to kill the man ruling their homeland. Their attempt of Heydrich's life was one of the most dramatic events of the Second World War.
