Summary/Abstract: Czechoslovakia doesn’t have many heroes whose actions have literally shaken the world. However, that is a fitting description of the paratroopers who carried out the 1942 assassination of the “third man in the Third Reich” Reinhard Heydrich. One of them was named Josef Gabčík and his life from the cradle to a hero’s death is mapped by Jaroslav Čvančara.
