Operation Daybreak (1976)

Anyone recall this WW2 film? Was on Channel 5 earlier. I'd never seen it before, thought it was great. Featured a young Martin Shaw.

Based on Operation Anthropoid in 1942 and filmed in Czechoslovakia.

I recorded it and have just watched it. I realised about a quarter of the way through that I'd seen it before. However, it was such a good film, I watched it again!

Have seen this many times. I think Anton Diffring's portrayal of Heydrich was excellent.

Tizzi24 - glad you enjoyed it!

Grandma_Yiddo - I have to agree, Diffring was very good. Heydrich was a tough, ruthless individual who following the assassination appeared to be making a recovery. Had he done so I shudder to think how far he would have gone in merciless fashion...

No Grandma-Yiddo perhaps on AB. :-(

Retrocop,

Indeed! We couldn't have that could we....

The revenge the Nazis took on those two Czech towns in revenge was truly shocking. I checked out Heydrich after the film. He was tough and Hitler knew it...
