Revenge on Nazi SS soldiers who massacred 88 children, 53 women & 192 men - Lidice massacre

After German the invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941 spurred a previously dormant communist resistance movement in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia into acts of sabotage, Hitler dismissed Reich Protector Konstantin von Neurath, who was sent on “ leave “ because of his “soft approach” to the Czechs, and appointed Heydrich as acting Reich Protector in September 1941. . On 27 May 1942, Heydrich was in his convertible Mercedes when the Czechoslovak paratroopers Jozef Gabčík and Jan Kubiš succeeded in rolling a hand grenade under Heydrich's transport vehicle and wounded the Nazi architect of the Holocaust. On 9 June, the day of Heydrich’s state funeral in Berlin, Hitler ordered the annihilation of Lidice, the village which had been named in a love letter found during the first days of the SS and police investigations into the attack on Heydrich. Though there was no real evidence connecting the people of the village with the assassins, the Nazis used even the smallest pretext to take revenge for Heydrich’s death and singled out Lidice as the site of retaliation. The following destruction of the village and the execution of its citizens occurred on 10 June 1942, on Hitler’s direct order. On 24 June 1942, two weeks after the massacre at Lidice, the small Czech village of Ležáky was destroyed when Gestapo agents found a radio transmitter there that had belonged to an underground team who parachuted in with Kubiš and Gabčík, who had killed Heydrich. All 33 adults - both men and women - from the village of Ležáky were shot and their bodies were transported to the local crematorium where they were burned. Out of 13 children, 11, who were not deemed fit for Germanisation were transported to the nearby Chełmno extermination camp and then murdered in gas vans. Two children that were deemed suitable were sent to be Germanised ".
