UK village to finally get monument to Anthropoid heroes

Prior to being dropped in Nazi-controlled Bohemia to carry out the
assassination of German governor Reinhard Heydrich, the Czechoslovak
parachutists Jozef Gabčík and Jan Kubiš were based in the English
village of Ightfield, where they befriended the local Ellison family. Now
– 75 years after their daring mission – the pair are set to get a
monument there. The man behind the campaign to honour them in this way is
Englishman John Martin, the author of a book on Operation Anthropoid.
