The Czechs paid a very heavy price for the assassination of one man, Heydrich. If industrial output from Czechoslavakia had been significantly reduced, and an uprising as in Poland had been inspired then it may well have been worth it. But in the end, one of the assassins sold out and took the money, and the Czechs as a nation humiliated into the deaths of thousands of innocent men, women and children, many at Mauthausen near Linz, Austria, and then volunteered to sing the national anthem while making the Nazi salute?
Not sure it was worth it. If it had gone to plan then maybe. Otherwise heroic but betrayed.
The Nazis were never defeated. They are still alive and well and living near Mauthausen and in the region, which was the quarter of Austria that the USA occupied in late WW2. And we know what happened with the Nazis: scientists and propagandists were shipped to the USA, or assumed into NATO; and the Nazi loot went to South America, with the knowledge of the allies, and then brought slowly back to Germany to create the alleged German Economic Miracle as a bulwark against the Soviets during the Cold War. The UK joined the EU to get a slice of the action, but now the UK wants to ally with China, so promoted Brexit to break with any EU laws. Now with the virus, China is rising, while the EU and the USA are failing under self-imposed lockdowns while importing Chinese-made PPE which contains all sorts of shite.
