WWII - Red army in Prague - Protectorate Bohemia
WWII May 9, 1945 Prague citizens welcome the Red Army. However, between May 6 to May 8, 1945 Prague was already liberated by General Andrej Andrejevic Vlasov and his Russian Liberation Army, fact long denied by Communist historians. Vlasov, a renegade commander fought along Germans against the Soviet Union. After he and his soldiers went west to surrender to Allied forces, Vlasov and many others were returned to Soviets. Vlasov with 11 others were executed for treason in Moscow in 1946. The Red Army took credit for liberating Prague. Photo : Red Army which entered Prague on May 9, 1945 where the WWII in Europe ended
