Pavel Jaroslav Kuthan
A little known fact is that in the wake of the axis Berlin–Rome–Tokyo during the Second World War the Czechoslovaks raised weapons against the Japanese
May 13, 1941 - In the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, the Gestapo attacked an apartment in which the remaining 2 members of the THREE KINGS were hiding, with radio operator Peltán. Lieutenant Colonel Mašín opposed them and Staff Captain Morávek and Peltán fled. Mašín was shot and captured. He was then transferred to the Pankrác Prison in Prague. Here he was imprisoned for 13 months, during which he was inhumanely beaten and tortured. He unsuccessfully attempted suicide 3 times, but remained unbroken. Morávek twice tried to free him from prison and once he asked the government in exile in England to do so. Always unsuccessful.
Arnošt Steiner was a Czech soldier, colonel and war hero who took part in all the battles from Sokolov through Kiev, Bila Cerkev, Zaskov and Dukla to reach Prague together with his comrades in May 1945. He became legendary especially in the battles at Dukla during the conquest of Hill 534 and Hyrowy Mountain, when he earned the nickname Iron Arnost, because he survived unharmed even in situations where his comrades in arms said it was impossible to survive.
