What false link did Nazi intelligence create after the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich?

  • Linked the assassins to the British intelligence

  • Linked the Czech and Slovak soldiers and resistance partisans to the villages of Lidice and Ležáky

  • Linked the assassins to the American intelligence

  • Linked the assassins to the Soviets

Answer

In retaliation for Heydrich's assassination, Nazi intelligence falsely linked Czech and Slovak soldiers and resistance partisans to the villages of Lidice and Ležáky. As a result, both villages were brutally destroyed, with all males over the age of 16 executed, women sent to concentration camps, and children either killed or sent for Germanization.
