* BasedOnATrueStory: More accurate than the totally fictionalized ''Film/HangmenAlsoDie'', but the film still takes many liberties. Possibly justified as it was made barely a year after Heydrich's assassination and the full details still weren't well known.

The particular focus on Lidice is due to the destruction of the town making its way to the public eye early enough among the Allies.

** In the movie Karel is there simply to stir up any kind of anti-Nazi resistance, and the chance at Heydrich is presented to him thanks to a lucky break. In real life the two agents were sent specifically to kill Reinhard Heydrich, who was succeeding a little too well in pacifying the Czechs.
** In the film three people from Lidice (Karel, Jarmilla, and Hanka) kill Heydrich near their hometown. In real life Heydrich was killed in Prague and the killing had nothing to do with Lidice; the Nazis singled Lidice out for extermination on erroneous intelligence that the agents were from there.
** The agents went into hiding in Prague's UsefulNotes/{{Orthodox Christian|ity}} Cathedral St. Cyril & Methodius in Prague, then they were cornered in the crypt and killed themselves. This is not featured in the film, although that detail likely wasn't known in America at the time.
** While Heydrich was in fact one of the very worst Nazis, he wasn't really the type of LargeHam evil that would pick out sex slaves from a lineup of pretty girls or send his car barreling through a religious procession. The real Heydrich was a quite calm, cool, and collected type of evil. While this movie's Heydrich pretty much eggs on his own murder by his outrageous villainy, the real Heydrich was killed on the initiative of the British because he was doing too good a job in keeping the Czechs quiet and productive. The Heydriches played by Creator/KennethBranagh in ''Film/{{Conspiracy|2001}}'' and Creator/JasonClarke in ''Film/TheManWithTheIronHeart'' (who have considerable screentime) are much closer to the real man.
