A terrific display of WW2 U.S. Army equipment.
Pizen was liberated by elements of Patton's 3rd Army but when the communists took over control in 1948 they did everything they could to expunge any record of American involvement and it remained that way for many years.
When the communists were ousted in 1989 historical facts were re-established and the liberation became an annual celebration leaving no doubt as to who the liberators were.
This years event was particularly large assumedly because of it being the 70th anniversary.
