 37-year-old Nazi leader and SS-Gruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich is fatally wounded in an assault by Jan Kubiš and Jozef Gabčík in Heydrich's bend, Vychovatelna, Libeň, Praha, Bohemia, Czechoslovakia. The Czechoslovak government-in-exile in London resolved to kill Heydrich in Operation Anthropoid. Heydrich survived with severe injuries to his left side, with major damage to his diaphragm, spleen, and lung and a fractured rib. Heydrich slipped in a coma on 2 June and died on 4 June 1941.
