RPBook , 23 days ago Reinhard #Heydrich, one of the architects of the #holocaust, died #OnThisDay in 1942, from wounds inflicted by Czech SOE agents during an ambush some days earlier. Nazi retailiation was brutal, notably including the complete destruction of #Lidice - Hitler wanted the memory of the village to die. But miners in #StokeOnTrent and #NorthStaffordshire had other ideas. https://russellphillips.uk/books/heydrich-lidice/ #SecondWorldWar #histodons @histodons @worldwarshistory
