Liberation Day in Domazlice
Sunday, May 5, 2024 (All day)
On May 5 in Two Rivers, the United States and Czech flags fly side by side; it’s Liberation Day in Domazlice.
Seventy-nine years ago, an advance unit from Gen. Patton’s Third Army rolled into the town, the German occupiers fleeing before it or taken prisoner.
Lt. Col. Matt Konop of Two Rivers led that advance party and liberated his ancestral hometown from Nazi occupation.
The townspeople proclaimed, “We are liberated by one of our own!”
Two Rivers and Domazlice share a special relationship as Sister Cities.
