Question trying for years to find name of old movie


I have been searching for a loooooooog while for a name of amovie i seen when i was a kid
i dont know any actors in it,what year or much else except
some people or group were trying to assasinate some german generals or high ranking
officers of some kind and they were then discovered.then they were being tracked down.............at the end of movie they were trapped in a cellar or basement of some kind and finally the germans filled the cellar with water to get them out but they shot each other
at the same time rather than get caught
anyone got any idea????
or how else i could try to find out?
ive spent a lot of hours searching through war movie descriptions
to no avail!!!
thanking in advance

Hi Mangler and welcome.

I would say it is Operation Daybreak.

Operation: Daybreak (1975)

It was the true story of the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich.

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)

Definately about the assassination of Heydrich. Was there a earlier version? seem to recall a B&W version?

Yep, the assassination, they were found in the cellar of a church after one of the assassins cracked and deserted the group to go home.
