Almost every village in the current Czech Republic (former Czechoslovakia) has a monument devoted to the victims of WWI and WWII. Among the victims of WWII 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.
The memorial is dedicated to a Czech citizens and Czech soldiers from Zatec region fallen during WWII.
