Looks like there's a monument to Patton in Plizen.

Well, this was the final line of Patton:

Die Truppen General Pattons hatten am 6. Mai 1945 die Linie Karlsbad-Pilsen-Budweis (heute Karlovy Vary-Plzeň-Čes. Budějovice) erreicht.

Hier durften sie nicht weiter vorrücken, um Prag zu befreien, denn diese Ehre hatte sich Stalin ausbedungen. Ebenso sollten seine Truppen den größten Teil der Tschechoslowakei besetzen, da Stalins eiserne Faust die Tschechoslowakei umklammerte, seit Beneš 1943 sein Land freiwillig mit den Kommunisten verbunden hatte (12. Dezember, Vertrag "Über Freundschaft, gegenseitige Hilfe und Nachkriegszusammenarbeit").

So they cut Patton off before Prague? Karlovy Vary/Plzen/Plisen or Karlsbad would be a fine location.

I read somewhere that there was a large contingent there? Maybe folklore? But that narrows the search from Karlovy Vary to Plzen/Plisen. Ah a month of tdy & a good linguist might net you some info.

Happy Easter Gunwolf. It is already Sunday there?
