Dunno how many movies are made about the Reinhard Heydrich assassination. Seems to me its more than JFK assassination. Anthropoid 2016 was ok I think. Now its time for "The Man with the Iron Heart"
Have not seen "Atentat" or "Operation daybreak" yet :-)

I have acquired all of these now, except for Atentat, which is on my wishlist. Thanks again for the tips. If anyone else has more tips, please post them
Just came back from the theater where I watched
HHhH - The Man with the Iron Heart. Where Anthropoid fully focuses on the guys who are going to kill Heydrich (you get to see Heydrich for less than a minute in a two hour film), this one first focuses on Heydrich's life up to the day he gets killed, then switches over to th story of the assassins, then after the assault focuses on the aftermath, in Prague, in Berlin as well as in Lidice.
What I liked about this movie was the first part about Heydrich, as I hadn't seen that in a movie before. The assault part was done better in Anthropoid in my opinion, and the aftermath was different too. The endfight in the church was better in Anhtropoid, but Lidice was completely missing from Anthropoid, big mistake imo.
The character development of Heydrich was very well done, actually better than the development of Gabcik and Kubis. The cinematography of this film was beautiful, with the scene in which Heydrich is being buried mixed with Lidice in a Godfather part one-like way. The role of Heydrich's wife can't be underestimated in both his real life and in this film, a job well done by Rosamund Pike.
A little downside is that the film was not shot in Prague, the church where the endfight was is quite famous and it was obviously a different building in the film.
My WWII interest got satisfied in this film, though: Panzer II and IV with Balkenkreuz in Poland '39, lots of trucks and just one Hanomag instead of a row of Hanomags, and in the endfight the Czech resistance fighter used a Zb26. Well done!
