Edit
Prague was the headquarters of Reinhard Heydrich, Reichsprotektor (Reich Protector) of Bohemia and Moravia after Czechoslovakia was absorbed by Germany.
In 1942, Heydrich narrowly escaped assassination in the streets of Prague.
In 1947, Heydrich's disciples, the German Freedom Front seized a Soviet plane in Prague, and demanded that their comrades be released. Instead, the NKVD stormed the plane and killed the terrorists.
Prague in In the Presence of Mine Enemies
Edit
In 2011, Prague saw a demonstration against the annexation and incorporation of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia into the Greater German Reich over 70 years before. Flags of the former Republic of Czechoslovakia were displayed.
Horst Witzleben reported that because the demonstration was peaceful, it was not broken up, something which underscored how much had changed under the regime of Heinz Buckliger. In the past, peaceful or not, authorities would have broken it up, and the demonstrators would have face severe consequences.
Prague in The War That Came Early
Edit
Both Jaroslav Stribny and Vaclav Jezek hailed from Prague.
Prague endured heavy airstrikes since the beginning of the 1938 war against Germany. By October German Panzers had reached the outskirts of the city and the aerial bombs were mixed with droppings of leaflets claiming that if the city surrendered its buildings and civilian population would be spared of further attacks. Prague offered then its capitulation, though the Czechoslovak negotiators were adamant that it was for the city only and that a large part of their army had retreated to Brno to continue the war in the east.
During occupation, Prague's large Jewish community was the subject of constant harassment by Nazi forces.
