- 2019–TV EpisodeAn Historian's 40 Years of Study of Operation Anthropoid John Martin's is one of the UK's best stand-up comedians, but he is also a historian and today he joins us on WW2TV to talk about his decades of study into Operation Anthropoid which took place 80 years ago this week. Operation Anthropoid was the code name for the plan to assassinate Nazi Obergruppenfuhrer Reinhard Heydrich in 1942, and John is considered a world expert on the subject. He has appeared in TV documentaries and was even sought out by producers of the 2016 blockbuster movie Anthropoid to provide expertise, including on the actual film set in Prague. He was also the first person to be given an interview by Heider Heydrich, the only surviving son of Reinhard Heydrich. He will talk about his many visits to Prague and his on-going research.

- Episode: (2016)2016– 35mPodcast EpisodeHaving earned an Oscar nomination for his short film Cashback in 2004, British director Sean Ellis has since caught the eye with a stylistic approach that is urgent, visceral, and intense. With the help of composers Guy Farley and Robin Foster, he's delivered soundscapes to match. Following its run at the Oscar, Sean developed Cashback into a full-length feature before bringing them Anglo-French horror The Broken, both of which were scored by Guy. Then came the Philippine-set crime drama Metro Manila, which won numerous awards. His latest project is Anthropoid, which tells the true story of an unlikely assassination attempt on Hitler's second in command Reinhard Heydric - the so-called Butcher of Prague For these two most recent ventures, Sean predominantly collaborated with Robin, who they must thank profusely for his assistance in putting this conversation together. Apart from anything else, they'd have struggled to identify the specific Bartok violin sonata that features in a key scene in Anthropoid without him. Interestingly, though, that sonata is one of the few cues in the film that's relevant to 1940s Prague, with Sean and Robin instead settling on a dark electronic score to evoke the all-pervasive atmosphere of paranoia that came with the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia.
