Czechs mark anniversary of liberation by American troops in WWII
In May 1945, western Czechoslovakia was liberated by US forces under General Patton in World War II. Amid a week of commemoration in Pilsen, a new monument to the US forces now stands in nearby Konstantinovy Lazne....
Now, a new monument to US forces has been unveiled in the town [2010], making its historical significance a little more visible.
Sixty-five years ago, American General George S. Patton's Third Army rolled into Konstantinovy Lazne and set up command posts for several divisions.
