📍 In May 1945, Prague didn’t wait for the war to end.

On May 5, the city rose up against N**i occupation – without a clear plan, without certainty of success. Within hours, barricades appeared across the streets. Trams overturned, cobblestones torn up, and ordinary people became part of something much bigger.

The fighting lasted several days. Chaotic, courageous, and costly ⚔️

By the time liberation came on May 9, much of the story had already been written by people who chose not to wait.

Prague took its fate into its own hands.
