                <description><![CDATA[One would be hard pressed to find a more moving film location than the crypt of Prague’s Orthodox Cathedral of Saints Cyril and Methodius that featured in the 1975 film 'Operation Daybreak' which was based on the true story assassination of SS Obergruppenfuhrer Reinhard Heydrich. <br><br>In retaliation for Heydrich's death the Nazis killed the entire male population of Lidice while the women and children were all sent to concentration camps. <br><br>Seven parachutists, including two of the assassins, hid in the crypt of the Prague church but were betrayed. 800 Gestapo and SS soldiers tried to storm the church and flood them out and were held off for 14 hours. Three died and the remaining four shot themselves. Holes from the bullets can still be seen in the crypt wall. The crypt now serves as the National Memorial Of The Heroes of the Heydrich Terror.]]></description>
