Let this small gallery commemorate the bloody events preceding April 26, 1945, the day the Red Army conquered Brno.
A war victim being buried in front of Mahen's theatre. Note the missing pillar.
Horse artillery going down the Milady Horákové st.
Red Army passing trough Tišnovská st. for a battle at Soběšice.
The pictures have been reprinted from Vojtěch Žampach’s book about the events of April 1945, called “Směr Brno” (“Direction: Brno”). I was directly inspired by Jason Powell’s gallery Looking into the past.
