Abstract

Several Czech films has showed the impact that had the Nazi occupation on a population characterized by the ethnic and cultural diversity. Of equal way, numerous films have showed the active participation of the Czechs in the fight against the 3rd Reich. As well as the accomplishment of one of the most amazing military actions of the Second World War: Heydrich's murder. In this article I analyze the cinematographic reconstruction of these events: the German occupation of Czechoslovakia, the collaborators' role and resistant too, the Nazi racial policy impact, and the active role of the Czechs in the British armed forces and his contribution to the allied effort; confirming the information contributed by the films with historical information.
