I'm not giving opinion or advice just looking back in history.

The Czech resistance assassinated Reinhard Heydrich, a high ranking NAZI in 1942.

It was a symbolic victory, killing a main architect of the holocaust.

But was it worth it?

After the assassination, the Nazis murdered 5000 Czechs as reprisals and chose to make an example out of the village of Lidice.

They removed every resident, every man, woman and child and killed all the men and sent the women and children to concentration camps.

Then they razed the village.

The dude who replaced Heydrich was also a butcher, no different than Heydrich.
