Czech Hell
Czech Hell was an episode of vigilante justice during the Prague Offensive and the Prague Uprising, World War II in May 1945. It involved the imprisonment and summary execution of unarmed soldiers and officers of the 20th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (1st Estonian).
==Background==
The provisional government of Czechoslovakia was proclaimed in Košice on 5 April 1945. The Communist Party seized a third of the national government, including the ministers of the Interior and Defence. Revengeful attitudes countenanced by the communists led to massive vigilante justice against former personnel of the German armed forces after the German capitulation. The government, which should have restrained the rioters, used them in its own interests.〔
The surrendered German troops included thousands of officers and soldiers of the Estonian Division initially based around Jelenia Góra and Świerzawa.〔 They had been forcefully drafted into the ''Waffen SS'' and had received no special training apart from the regular military drill; they had also not committed any war crimes.〔〔〔
