Spitfire na Pražském hradě připomíná návrat i perzekuci pilotů z RAF

A Spitfire aircraft has been displayed at Prague Castle to commemorate both the return of Royal Air Force (RAF) pilots after World War II and their persecution during the communist era in Czechoslovakia. The exhibit highlights the historical significance of these pilots, who were initially welcomed as heroes but later faced repression under the communist regime. The event serves as a reminder of the complex legacy of Allied forces in post-war Czechoslovakia, where some Western allies were later viewed with suspicion by the new government. This display brings attention to lesser-known aspects of Cold War history within the country.
