Title: Prague uprising
Post by: Graf_Radetzky(CZ) on 05-05-2010, 20:05:40
on May 5, 1945 (so 65 years ago) began Prague uprising, in the last moments of the war in Europe. The uprising went on until May 8, 1945, ending in a ceasefire the day before the arrival of the Red Army and one day after the Victory in Europe Day.
