Let's skip the boring part

Something about the History

During the WWII, Czechoslovakia was invaded by the Nazi's and we became Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. There is a legend about the Wenceslas crown and that is when someone who is not worthy of the crown, takes the crown and place it on his head, he will die within the year and that is what Reinhard Heydrich the "protector" of czechoslovakia did, and indeed you guessed right, he died later that year. He was assasinated by Josef Gabčík and Jan Kubiš on May 27 1942, you maybe saw the film Anthropoid, which is the name of the operation.

Thank you for reading here is my photo that i took on January 18th during the visit.
