Wrong message and a stray tank. Coincidence cost the lives of 14 men at the end of the war.
In addition, a local former Czechoslovak officer organized a meeting of all determined residents over the age of 18 who “want to behave like patriots”. So some of the men set out to defend the railway bridge. This coming weekend and next week, the people of Kožušan-Tážal in Olomouc and the surrounding area will commemorate the tragic death of fourteen local men at the very end of the Second World War. Because of a false report and a stray Soviet tank, people thought that the liberation of the village was imminent, but everything ended in bloody retaliation by the Germans. The news of the impending end of the war awakened enthusiasm and courage in the people.
