Almost every village or town in the current Czech Republic (former Czechoslovakia) has a monument devoted to the victims of WWII. These monuments are dedicated to the memory of the soldiers who were born in these villages/town.
Among the victims of this war were also civilians who participated in home resistance against German occupiers or died in German concentration camps.
The monuments also mention the names of soldiers of the former Czechoslovak army. These soldiers fled abroad from the occupied homeland and were involved in fighting in the east and west of Europe.
They created a separate Czechoslovak unit that was part of the Red Army or Allied armies of the Great Britain and the United States.
A special group of soldiers were made up of Czechoslovak airmen who joined the RAF. In the RAF, there were several squadrons consisting of Czech pilots only.
