Atentát
1964 Czech war film
Atentát (English title: The Assassination) is a 1964 black-and-white Czechoslovak war film directed by Jiří Sequens. The film depicts events before and after the World War II assassination of top German leader Reinhard Heydrich in Prague (Operation Anthropoid). Czech historians have called the film the historically most accurate depiction of the events surrounding Operation Anthropoid.[1][2][3] [note 1]
The agents portrayed in the film are not referred to by their real names but by the historical cover names they assumed for the operation.[5] For example, Jan Kubiš is called Otto Strnad.
