The Czech government-in-exile in London had a strong hand in it (because it was their own people) at least as much or more as the Brits did, and anyway Churchill was more or less an antisemite. The Brits had signed the Munich Agreement with Germany in September of 1938 so those countries (the UK, Italy and France) left the Czechs without any support. Hitler walked in and took it without firing a shot. The SOE trained the Czech resistance for Operation Anthropoid and supplied them with arms and equipment. Later after everything had happened, Churchill finally broke with the Munich Agreement. By then an estimated ten thousand people were killed and both Lidice and Ležáky were (mistakenly) razed. Lidice was total misinformation: Ležáky was a tiny community of poor stonecutters and cottagers living in eight houses near a mill. Someone there working with the resistance had hidden replacement crystals for their radio. Other than that the resistance that was in Prague had seen their numbers diminish to almost nothing. The Butcher of Prague had done his job extremely well; by torturing, hanging, execution by firing squad and deportation to the camps, Heydrich had by May 1942 earned his way to a promotion and a move to France. He had excelled at his job for the Reich. What an intelligent man, musically gifted, well schooled. And he became a cold blooded killer. But then a large part of the Nazi Party higher-ups held one and two degrees - engineers, physicists, economists, business doctorates. Strange to think of them in that way, until you stop and take a look at today’s world leaders. With each of them it always begins with the world being their oyster. Everyone marches to their drummers, willingly or otherwise. Scary, huh? They all start looking pretty much alike, then.

You should read history. Monsters were (are) everywhere, even next door. The people you’d know and been friends with in years prior to the killings became your mortal enemy overnight (those killings started in 1933 and 1936 as far as Hitler was concerned, but long before that Stalin killed millions of his beloved comrades by torturing to death (ah, the Secret Police) in prisons, and by systematic starvation in the Ukraine (anything starting to sound familiar?) and Russia. That happened twice. There’s an excellent book about the joint mass killings: ‘Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin,’ by Timothy Snyder. Actually you’ll find that on yt, and it’s very well read. Snyder puts the numbers of both evil dictators at 14 million, and he breaks down the numbers by region, types of death and who they were (Jews, Ukraines, etc). I highly encourage reading for everyone, as it’s distressing to find out how many people are so utterly unaware of world events, past and present. People never even know the ‘why’ of something happening, much less that it’s happened. Very sad, so few people who read, especially history. Saying they “don’t have time” is a poor excuse. I know, because I’ve been a serious reader all my life, even when I worked 12 hour shifts and was in school full time. Not easy, but a necessity nonetheless.
