Smithy Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Interesting picture indeed. In fact very little has changed from when this was first taken as the buildings, out-house and church all look the same as they did in 1945! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higgins kpt. Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 Thanks, hadn't thought of that. oh, yes its true, Czechoslovak brigade was in Prague only two days 17 and 18.may 1945, becouse Prague was in the Russian ocupation zone, but Czechoslovak brigade was under command US Army (!), Russians dont want this very heavy armed brigade in own zone, only two days , with out munitions(!) not only for guns, but every soldier brigade was with out munition for pistols, rifles, MG(!). 18.may 1945 was in main town Prague great parade for Czechoslovak land army for west, many hours go all Cs. armoured brigade (all vehicles) across down town, oh, Russians generals dont like! Only few days after end of war! Higgins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
