Přednášky v památníku – Američané na Labi: velké dějiny Dne vítězství ve východních Čechách

The fascinating, yet less known Velichov mission will be presented by Mgr. Jan Hrubecký from the Museum of East Bohemia in Hradec Králové. We will return to the topic of the liberation and surrender of Germany and the situation in East Bohemia.

In the lecture by Jan Hrubecký, historian of the Museum of East Bohemia in Hradec Králové, you will learn about the lesser-known story of the so-called Velichov mission, which is an important moment in the mechanism of the surrender of Nazi Germany. Did the American parliamentarians meet the last Wehrmacht Field Marshal Ferdinand Schörner, who led the German armed forces after Adolf Hitler's death? Who were the soldiers who made the most easterly advance in the European campaign of all the Western Allies? Join us in seeking answers to such questions and more. (Annotated by Jan Hrubecký)
