LIBERATION! VE Day in Europe 1945
Pilsen in the Czech Republic was liberated on the 6th May 1945 by elements of General George Patton’s 3rd Army.
Now each year the Czech people remember these events and put on a huge display of armour and parade through the streets accompanied by flypasts from wartime aircraft.
This year for the 79th anniversary of the liberation of Pilsen I travelled to the city to experience the parade and the range of living history events going on in the city to commemorate the day they were finally freed from tyranny and oppression!
If you are planning to attend the 80th anniversary of the Liberation of Pilsen in 2025 I hope this gives you a good idea of what to expect!
