History

​I woke up last night with a zillion questions on my mind. Well, maybe not that many, but enough to last about an hour and a half.πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ I am still accustomed to Montana time, knowing I should be wide awake when it is one, two, and three in the morning here in Europe. So a little ‘wondering’ never hurts. But to make it easier on me, I googled the most relevant period to our century, and I took a screenshot.πŸ€—


Now this is especially perplexed me. As I was wandering about in ‘Lesser Prague’ (the other side of the river) yesterday, I came across what I thought was the Croatian flag, and a memorial plaque beneath with simple dates…

Prague was certainly not an independent country then. So why the memorial for a period of time when the nation was under occupation. Especially by Germany! It seems the Germans occupied almost every country in Europe during World War II.😱😱 Which got me to wondering yet again, where did they find all the troops to send so many out to so many places?😱

I almost turned my light on at this point, because I wanted to to get some answers to my many questions. But I restrained myself, fortunately, and before long I returned back to sleep.😊

But before, then, I got to wondering, if that indeed was the Czech flag…


… and from what I can tell in this photo, it was. Maybe you can do some homework on that and enlighten me, because I am still confused. In regard to those inscribed dates, 1938 to 1945, that would’ve been the period in which Germany was taking over all of Europe.😞

Just had word Daniel was on the Blog just now, so I’m going to send this off to post because I have a feeling he will know the answer to the dates on the inscribed plaque with the flag.πŸ˜ƒπŸ’•πŸ€—πŸ‘His finesse at remembering historical facts never ceases to amaze me!😱
