Btw, today’s the 80th anniversary of Operation Anthropoid or as I like to call it the “Unproblematic Good Boi Day” or “Be the only ones to ever successfully yeet a high-ranking Nazi official and have him be one of the architects of the Holocaust to boot”—the assassination of the Reichprotektor and Hitler’s close ally Reinhard Heydrich by Czechoslovak operatives Jozef Gabčík and Jan Kubiš who parachuted to the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia from their exile in the UK and devised a plan which led to a failed shooting and then a semi-successful bombing of Heydrich’s car which in turn led to Heydrich dying a painful death in a Prague hospital for a week which resulted in a vengeful extermination of two villages and a wave of Nazi-conducted tortures and extrajudicial murders sweeping over Prague in order to sus out the partisans who ended up betrayed by one of their own and died during a shootout with Nazis in a Prague church which, FINALLY, led the Brits to realize that maybe gleefully handing Czechoslovakia over to Hitler wasn’t the best idea they ever had and maybe the low level of Czech resistance up until that point wasn’t a result of us being buddy-buddy with Nazis, proving once and for all that when it comes to finding allies who aren’t complete idiots, there are just no good options for Eastern Europeans to be had.

Anyway, celebrate the good bois.
