About the tour: Operation Anthropoid by Air
Operation Anthropoid was the secret mission to assassinate Reinhard Heydrich, a high-ranking Nazi Official with control of much of Eastern Europe and one of the leading architects of the Holocaust. A team of SOE agents were flown to Czechoslovakia in December 1941 to carry out the operation. Heydrich was fatally wounded and his death lead to terrible consequences in Czechoslovakia. Join us on our brand new 5-day tour as we fly to Prague and visit the key sites relating to the operation, including Nehvizdhy, Liddice and Petschek Palace.
