Lets spend a couple of hours on a chronological tour through World War Two as it affected Prague. Remember that the war here was NOT defined by extensive aerial bombing or large ground battles. It’s a story of characters, some good and some bad, that combine into a story line stretching from the 13th Century all the way to 1947.
