Hello fellow modellers

I dont know much about ww2 in czech, so can anyone suggest what tanks, infantry, etc that were used durin that theater of the war that i could use to go with it.

Depending on the specific location, you can use almost anything applicable to ETO in 1945.

Pre-war Czechoslovakia was divided in 1939 to a puppet Slovak Republic (Slovakia) and Protektorat Böhmen und Mähren (Bohemia and Moravia). If you don’t count underground resistance, covert and partisan actions, the combat operations did not started on the Protektorat territory until 1945. Soviet Red army entered in March / April from south-east and north-east. US 3rd Army entered in April from the west and south-west. The city of Pilsen was liberated in first day of May 1945 and Americans stopped their advance on the northwest-southeast demarcation line here (although elements of 16 AD under col. Pratt went as far as Velichovky some 80 miles north-east of Prague in an attempt to pursue the high command of Heeresgruppe Mitte to surrender). There is also possibility for some British equipment since elements of Czechoslovak Independent Armored Brigade were present in Southwest Bohemia as well. At that time Soviets reached Berlin yet still struggled in Moravia creating a huge pocket. General uprising broke in the capital Prague (with significant contribution from Vlasov’s Russion Liberation Army) and in many other places. Germans - fearing Soviets - tried hard to reach Americans on the Pilsen line. Soviet armor reached Prague after a long leap from the north on May 8 officially ending the war. However, the fighting went on till May 12 south-west of Prague as remnants of Wehrmacht and SS units still hoped to surrender to the Western power.

Hope it helps. Let me know if you need more specific info.
