A soldier whom the Nazis decapitated for killing the most dangerous man of Third Reich:Jan Kubiš

Jan Kubiš was born on 24 June 1913 in the small Moravian village of Dolni Vilémovice in today’s Czech Republic, then part of Austria-Hungary. In 1935, Jan Kubiš began his compulsory military service in the Czechoslovak Army. He was assigned to the 9th company of the 31st Infantry Regiment in the city of Jihlava. In France he enlisted in the French Foreign Legion with a five-year commitment, though his ultimate goal was to fight for the freedom of his homeland against Nazi Germany. In this time, it was not possible to create Czechoslovak forces in France. He was stationed in North Africa, where he endured the heat, cultural shock, and a different military environment. After the outbreak of the Second World War which began on 1 September 1939, Czechoslovak soldiers were released from their contracts in the Legion. Returning to France, he joined the newly formed Czechoslovak army-in-exile. Alongside his close comrade, Jozef Gabčík, he endured poor living conditions, substandard equipment, and shortages of proper uniforms, boots and outdated weapons. Despite these challenges, their commitment remained unwavering. The two men formed a deep bond during this time, often cycling together, sharing their frustrations and aspirations. When Germany invaded France in May 1940, Kubiš and his unit were deployed near Coulommiers, east of Paris. They fought valiantly against overwhelming German forces but were ultimately forced to retreat. In his diary, Kubiš recounted the horrors of battle, relentless artillery fire, and the heartbreak of seeing mutilated corpses along the road. Despite exhaustion, he kept up morale by singing and cracking jokes during the retreat. After France fell in six weeks in June 1940, he and his fellow soldiers managed to reach the southern port of Sète, where they smuggled their sidearms aboard the Egyptian ship Rod el Farag.
