Vlasovci v boji za Prahu (I. část). Spolupráce Vojenského velitelství Velké Prahy s 1. pěší divizí Ozbrojených sil KONR v dokumentech
The Vlasov army in the battle for Prague: Co-operation between the military command of Great Prague and the 1st Infantry Division of the Armed Forces of the CLPR in documents (Part I.)

Summary/Abstract: One of the most controversial subjects directly linked to the Czech uprising of May 1945 is the appearance of the 1st Infantry Division of the Committee for the Liberation of the Peoples of Russia (CLPR) led by Major General Sergei Kuzmich Bunyachenko – according to German numeration the 600th infantry division (Russian) – on the side of those fighting for Prague. This edition of the 210 most important reports and records concentrated within the framework of the intelligence and information system of the Military Command of Great Prague – “Bartoš” captures in a nuanced manner the dramatic development of events in Prague and its environs in the days 5 to 9 May, 1945. Members of the individual departments of the “Bartoš” staff kept records off all important information and processed them into the form of reports from individual uprising staffs, military command, departments of the government army, gendarmerie, police, national committees and individual citizens, in some cases taking possession of written reports delivered to Bartolomějská St. by courier. Within the staff of the “Bartoš” command records were distributed to individual departments or handed over to staff vice-chiefs or chiefs, in some cases directly to army commander Brig. Gen. Karel Kutlvašr and his deputies. Fresh information relating to movements of their own, Vlasov army or German units was drawn on special operational maps and recorded in war diaries. To a limited degree it was also intended to provide information to the “Alex” senior HQ or in some cases the Czech National Council or even the rebel radio. The final three edited documents from 11 May 1945 contain an evaluation for Soviet military agencies of the participation of Vlasov army units in the battle for Prague.
