Britové a atentát na Reinharda Heydricha. I. Politické aspekty

The material study containing a small edition of documents refers to the topic that still keeps provoking debates among the professional and general public. It deals with the assassination of Heydrich and tries to analyze its significance for the Czech-British relations both from the political viewpoint. The assassination is put into a broader context of the SOE’s view of Czechoslovakia and its significance for British diplomacy. In the following part the authors polemize against the frequent interpretation available in Czech periodicals believing that it was the assassination and the subsequent repressions that made the British revoke the Munich Agreement. In the closing part some less known documents to repudiation of “Munich”.
