    This church`s cellar is definitely worth a visit. It must is one of the most moving places I`ve ever been. You can almost feel the sense of fear those lads must have felt in their last hours. May the rest in peace.

    The film 'Operation Daybreak' a UK/Czech filmed on location in Prague was made in 1975 and starred Martin Shaw and other UK actors, but with Anton Differing playing Heydrich. He also played an SS officer in 'The Hero's of Telemark'. It was was a very authentic reconstruction but a little stilted by the Euro script and dubbing.

    There was an fine action movie "Operation Daybreak" [c1970s,I think it was] about the mission.

    Although of Czech heritage, I hadn't realized that the Heydrich heros had perished in an exquisitely beautiful church, named in honor of Sts. Cyril and Methodius. On that same trip I took the city bus to Terezin, which is aso a must for anyone who believes we should never forget.

    Visiting the Church and Museum was a most profound experience. I had read of these brave seven men for many years and was finally able to visit in May 2006.
