World War II locations in Prague

[Worldwarstoday]

Hey folks.

I might be going to Prague later this year (health permitting) and am looking for any advice on museums or historical places of interest connected with World War II and the German occupation.

Obviously I'll be checking out the place where Heydrich was assassinated, the church where his assassins were finally trapped and the Czech Army Museum (which I'm told is excellent) but are there any other well-known locations (or hidden gems) I should check out whilst I'm there?

Thanks for all help and advice and if there are any old topics on this already please point me in the right direction. I've already found the one about Heydrich but there might be others.

Is the old Gestapo headquarters open to the public? I believe it's some kind of government ministry now.

Cheers Don. I remember coming across that topic a few years ago. Tons of information there to have a look through. Thanks very much.

Some great photographs too.

While you are there, say a paternoster for the three million German civilians who were kicked out by the Czechs in 1945, during which thousands were killed, amongst them my uncle.

Oh - and by that way don´t forget to buy the book:

"Das Ende an der Elbe" by Jürgen Thorwald.

Horrible but true.
