  • 6 June 1942

  • 2 June 1942

  • 4 June 1942

Answer

Heydrich succumbed to his injuries on June 4, 1942, eight days after being critically wounded by an assassination attempt in Prague, organized by the Czechoslovak resistance with support from the British Special Operations Executive. The attack's success temporarily crippled the Nazi regime's grip on the region and sparked retaliatory measures, including the annihilation of the Czech village of Lidice.
