It was someone (unknown) and we probably will never find out because the person is probably dead and we can't find his DNA. It could have been Meip, Jan, Victor (etc.) for all we know, but I doubt it was them. Or someone will not speak up about evidence. There are many possibilities to what happened. But I really think it was that burglar. But anyway what happened was someone found out and called the "Green Police", Nazis, or Gestapo. (etc.) Hopefully I find out sometime in my life...

What did the Nazi do in retaliation of the death of Heydrich?

More than 13,000 were arrested. The destruction of the village of Lidice was probably the most notorious thing the Nazis did in retaliation. All 199 men were executed, 95 children were taken and 195 women were arrested. The entire village was destroyed. Heydrich had been the head of the Gestapo but was promoted to the head of the "Reich Main Security Office", and was the appointed ruler of the Czech Republic. His brutality earned him the nickname "the Butcher of Prague". He was assassinated by Czech rebels at the end of May 1942, although he didn't actually die until the beginning of June. The Nazis, first and foremost, wanted to capture, torture, torture some more, and then execute the assassins. At first, they were unable to find them, so they arrested anyone and everyone who was around. Thousands of people were arrested, many of whom wound up in concentration camps and were killed. Additionally, the initial findings of the Nazi investigation erroneously linked the assassins to two nearby towns. The Nazis destroyed those towns, and slaughtered the people. Those who weren't killed immediately, were sent to concentration camps to die. Eventually the Nazis were able to arrest and torture enough people that they discovered where the assassins where hiding- in a church in Prague. The Nazis surrounded the church, and launched a military-style attack on it; all of the conspirators died, either by wounds or suicide. Also, the bishop at that church (who was not involved in the assassination) surrendered himself to the Nazis in the hopes that they would not attack his parishioners- the bishop and his church staff were arrested, tortured, and killed.


How many Germans were Nazis?

No. You might find it interesting that Nazism is perfectly legal in Canada and the US, but it's illegal in Germany. Stereotyping is rude, please don't do it.


Where was the bunker that Adolf Hitler died in under Berlin on April 30 1945 why did he shoot himself?

adolf Hitler's secret bunker was located undeer ground in Berlin....he commited suicide here ....the purpose of this bunker was for it to be as a hide out for him so they wouldn't capture him for what he had done...believe it or not,no body knew what Hitler was doing(by that i mean no body in the world except the people's area where they were being captured)..that's why Hitler got away for doing such crime.but when the world found out what he did they were determined to find him and kill him.that leads us to why he went into hiding in his bunker.

When was the Franks secret annex discovered by the Gestapo?

Anne Frank didn't "find" the Annex-they already had it. The Annex area belonged to her dad, and it was attached to his company, Opetka. Mr. Frank was preparing the Annex months before they actually had to use it. He planned on going into hiding on July 16th, 1942, but Margot received a labor camp letter so they left on July 6, 1942.
