During World War II, Czechoslovakia was occupied by fascist Germany. In the spring of 1945, the Soviet Red Army invaded Slovakia. In order to cooperate with the Soviet offensive, the Provisional Central Committee of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia actively prepared for an armed uprising and formed the Prague National Committee for this purpose. On May 5, 1945, the Prague Armed Uprising broke out. The uprising team quickly occupied important strongholds such as the station, the post office, and so on. At noon, the Prague National Committee issued a letter to the people, announcing that power belongs to the National Committee, and issued an ultimatum to the German army to surrender. The German army gathered forces to counterattack. The rebels fought for two bloody days and had to retreat because they were outnumbered. At this critical juncture, the Soviets stormed into Prague in the early morning of the 9th to annihilate the Germans together with the rebels. The anti-fascist struggle of the Czechoslovak people was finally victorious.
