If they do this right, could be one of the best WWII films of all time.

The story of Operation Anthropoid and the Heydrich assassination is one of the most exciting and tragic chapters of the war.

Heydrich was an absolute beast,(Not in the current good sense),and was thought to be Hitler's successor. The bravery by commandos Kubis and Gabcik along with all those who helped them is truly amazing. The heartbreak of the Nazi retaliation should never be forgotten as unbelievable as it was.

Here's hoping they get it right and don't screw it up! The story doesn't need any extra "Hollywoodizing". Just tell the story as it happened.

Yes indeed.
Definitely keep to the true tale, no gung-ho stuff a la Hollywood.
(Had Heydrich's driver not stopped, they would have failed).
