A copy of the “Sten Gun” which was used by the attackers is displayed at the Jan Kubiš memorial hall. Due to its unreliability it jammed and failed to fire in Gabčík´s hands; Kubiš threw a bomb and hit the rear of Heydrich´s car.

Jan Kubiš and Jozef Gabčík were the key players of this assault. After completing successfully their training supervised by SOE, they were dropped near Nehvizdy (Prague county) on 28th December 1941 by a Halifax of 138 RAF Squadron.

In the aftermath, 37 members of the Kubiš family were imprisoned. The closest relatives were executed in October 1942. They are remembered on a cenotaph dedicated to his family on the village square.
