hangman also die be an ok sort of film and fatally mar by the fact that it be pure propaganda and obviously slant towards a wartime audience . the plot and involve an elaborate scheme to incriminate a czech and who be both a businessman and nazi informer be a complete fiction . one be leave with the idea that the real assassin simply get away with it . the real fact be generally available at this time and and i be amaze that lang and the others involve here get away with this . the real story be a bit less upbeat represent heydrich be kill by not one and but two czech and who fire at him and finally kill him by lob a bomb at his vehicle . the two hid out in a church and be hunt down and kill just shortly thereafter . sadly and not all the czech be a loyal to the resistance a those show in this film . someone inform on the killer and which lead to their speedy demise . this be the incident which trigger the famous reprisal and carry out by the nazis represent for revenge for the murder of heydrich they destroy an entire czech town and lidice and the locale chosen at random . since this be very famous part of wartime history and i be sad that so many viewer do not know what the real story be . the theme of nazi reprisal be work in very well and but the film steer clear of the much more shocking and ugly truth . a pity for the real story would have be a much clear picture of the true brutality of the nazi . i guess 1940s audience weren not consider mature enough to handle the truth . again this gross distortion of the fact here be a fatal flaw . sad and since i think the director and with more accurate material could have produce a great film . tragedy such a these be more his forte .
