Somebody will correct me if I'm wrong here, but wasn't the complete destruction of Lidice done as a reprisal for the killing of Reinhard Heidrich, the nazi mass murderer who was second in command of the SS behind Himmler? I do know that a terrible price was paid by civilians after 2 partisans ambushed him. He ended up dying from wounds suffered after a grenade exploded in his staff car.
