U.S. General George S. Patton Memorial Review

With exhibits and photos, this memorial tells the story of the liberation of Plzen from the Nazis by U.S. soldiers on May 6, 1945. As the story goes, Patton wanted to press on from Plzen to liberate Prague, but was prevented from doing so by the Yalta agreement between the United States and the Soviet Union that said Czechoslovakia was to remain under Soviet influence. The museum was dedicated in 2005 on the 60th anniversary of Plzen's liberation.
