The assassination of Reinhard Heydrich in Prague on 27 May 1942 was carried out by a group af Czech soldiers trained in UK. It led to the revenge destruction of villages and mass killings of civilians, notably the Lidice massacre. According to one estimate, 5,000 people were murdered in the reprisals
After the assassination the assailants initially hid with two Prague families and later took refuge in the Cathedral of Sts Cyril and Methodius, where they were cornered by SS and died after a stand-off.

As the annual Conservative Party Conference comes to a close, Greater Manchester Police would like to thank attendees, the people of Greater Manchester, and visitors, for another successful and peaceful policing operation.
This multi-agency security operation, codenamed Operation Protector, has been months in the planning and saw thousands of extra people enter the city to attend the event, all of which passed without incident.
Sunday 1 October was the main day for protests, with thousands of protestors marching through the city, and attending a rally. Despite the typical Mancunian weather, spirits were high, and the events went ahead without incident, coming to a peaceful conclusion.
Whilst unrelated to the event, a number of proactive arrests were made in the city centre for a range of offences including driving whilst under the influence of drugs, shop lifting, and a man who was wanted for assault, demonstrating it was business as usual for many officers on the ground.
Assistant Chief Constable Chris Sykes, Gold Commander for the event, said: “Over the past four days, we’ve seen more than ten thousand delegates and visitors come to our city, supporting local businesses and the local economy; it is testament to Manchester being an iconic city for major events.
“As expected, and as in previous years, there were a number of protests throughout the period – notably on Sunday 1 October, which saw around 3,000 people march through the city.
“Security operations of this scale are always complex and require a high degree of multiagency work. With our partners, we have worked tirelessly to protect delegates, enable protests, and keep our city safe, and I am proud to hear such positive feedback about our staff who have performed their duties to the highest of standards.
“And finally, I would like to thank those who live, work or were visiting Manchester during this busy period for their patience whilst our operation was in place.”

On Tuesday 15 October 2024, police executed five warrants at addresses in Rochdale and Manchester to tackle the cruel and unlawful sale of puppies,
following an extensive investigation by the RSPCA, supported by Greater Manchester Police, into the illegitimate and organised sale of puppies.
This investigation has uncovered an illicit underground trade that promotes animal cruelty and neglect, with sellers and criminal gangs making vast sums of money at the expense of innocent puppies and members of the public.
Some puppies were sick and died shortly after being sold to unsuspecting members of the public who believed they were buying much-loved family pets but may have been imported from overseas.
Today’s positive action comes as a result of several reports from members of the public who have been subject to extreme distress as a result of this illicit operation. Work remains ongoing and we are following several lines of enquiry to disrupt and prevent this type of criminality.
Sergeant Brendan Walsh, from our Rochdale district, said: “This is organised crime, and those involved have been making eye watering profits from this harmful and illicit trade.
“This has been a tremendous joint effort between Greater Manchester Police and the RSPCA's Special Operations Unit.
"The properties were searched, and police have rescued 14 puppies and seized an XL bully. Police also seized several mobile phones, important documents and bank statements, all consistent with an organised criminal operation involving the fraudulent and unlawful sale and breeding of puppies.
“We’ve had members of the public who have paid substantial amounts for these puppies, paid large veterinary fees, and have been left traumatised by their experiences. I hope today’s activity will highlight our commitment to tackling this type of crime, and I would urge anyone who feels they have been affected by this, please contact us so that we can act."
An RSPCA spokesperson said: "We'd urge anyone who wants to get a dog to consider adopting from a rescue charity, like the RSPCA. There are thousands of dogs across the country waiting to find their forever families.
"Anyone who is looking to buy a puppy should be cautious when choosing a breeder and use The Puppy Contract to help them find a happy, healthy dog. Anyone who is concerned about a seller should walk away and report their concerns to the police, Trading Standards or RSPCA."
Anyone with concerns over illegal puppy sales should contact Greater Manchester Police using the online reporting method or calling 101. Concerns can also be reported to the RSPCA.

Deployed in August 2011, the aircraft and personnel of TF Jamaica will return to Canada when the JDF search-and-rescue capability is sufficiently developed to meet the operational requirement.

Onboard HMS Belfast
HMS Belfast is the ninth of ten Town-class cruisers; begun at the end of 1936, Belfast was launched March 1938 (on St Patrick's Day. After striking a mine in November 1939, Belfast spent two years undergoing repairs and improvements, finally returning to service in November 1942. Throughout 1943, Belfast was involved in escorting Arctic convoys to the USSR; in December 1943 Belfast was involved in the Battle of North Cape, during which it assisted with the sinking of the German warship Scharnhorst. In June 1944, Belfast took part in Operation Overlord and the Normandy landings; the following year Belfast was redeployed to the British Pacific Fleet, remaining in the Far East until 1947 when it returned to Portsmouth and underwent a refit. At the end of 1948 Belfast was based at Hong Kong and became the flagship of the 5th Cruiser Squadron, and returned to combat during the Korean War between 1950-52. Upgraded and modernised between 1956-59, Belfast moved into reserve in 1963, then marked for disposal in 1971, only saved with the formation of a private HMS Belfast Trust that took possession in July of that year. Initially an independent museum, Belfast became a branch of the Imperial War Museum in 1978.

Ooit in #Eindhoven: Operation Oyster
Het Monument Operation Oyster is een monument dat de burgerslachtoffers herdenkt die gevallen zijn bij dit bombardement. Het monument bevindt zich tegenover de Lichttoren aan de Mathildelaan.
Het betreft het door de Britten uitgevoerde bombardement van 6 december 1942 (Sinterklaasbombardement) dat de Philipsfabrieken, waar radio's en dergelijke voor het Duitse leger werden vervaardigd, buiten werking zou moeten stellen. De codenaam van deze operatie was: Operation Oyster. Door de onnauwkeurigheid van de bombardementen leidde dat tot veel burgerslachtoffers terwijl de Philips-fabrieken veel minder schade leden dan bedoeld.
Er werden 93 bommenwerpers ingezet. Bij het bombardement kwamen 140 burgers en 7 Duitse soldaten om het leven
Het monument stelt een geopende oester voor, met een gat in de bovenste schelp, en in de geopende schelp een aantal verwoeste huizen. De oester staat op een sokkel, waarop een gedenkplaat is aangebracht.
Het monument werd op 6 december 2011 onthuld en werd ontworpen door Peter Nagelkerke. (Wikipedia)
Het verbeeldt de verwoesting en ontreddering!
