Shortly after the liberation of Czechoslovakia, the people of Strakonice published a book documenting
the liberation effort by using pictures taken by american soldiers and Czechoslovakian people. Phototgraphs
in possession of Captain Emeis were published in the book. These photos were of Patton attending the official
liberation celebration.
The picture below illustrates the cover of the book. The publishing date is 1945. Notice the words "Fotografu
Amateru" indicating that all the photographs were taken by amateurs.
These are the pictures of General Patton attending the celebrations. These and other pictures of him were
published in the book. Also many pictures of American soldiers entering the town and of Russian and American
soldiers shaking hands were placed in the book.
