The Cry bit is easy…the end of Operation Daybreak.

Yes, very moving indeed.

Agreed TT, based on a true story as well, weren’t those 2 played by Anthony Andrews and Martin Shaw, it’s a while since I saw it, put it back on TV instead of showing endless repeats of Under Siege.

An amusing scene in the film, albeit a very black one, is Heydrichs corpse, inevitably played by Anton Differing, being prepared for the funeral, ie: Jack boots being screwed onto a body in rigor mortise, you may think I have a wierd sense of humour, but it’s nice to see such an evil Nazi piece of filth, one of the worst in fact, being treated so unceremoniously.

It’s not Martin Shaw but Timothy Bottoms in the crypt with Anthony Andrews. As you say though I haven’t seen it shown on TV for some years.

The end credits (if that is the right phrase) get to me every time; where the fate of all the patriots (and traitors) is revealed. The courage of these people who knew that they risked not only their own lives but those of their families is almost unbelievable. Tragically in this case (although it didn’t happen exactly as shown in the film) most of the family that hid the assassins (including their young children) died in concentration camps…..and of course the Nazis murdered the entire population of the village of Lidice.

It is possible to visit the actual crypt. One day I would very much like to do so.
