This tour will give you a shocking view of life under the oppressive communist regime through the stories of a great number of people who decided to stand against it.
We’ll explain how the communist party took over in 1948 and how they got rid of their political enemies in the 1950s. We’ll also cover the events of 1968 and 1969, known as the Prague Spring, and try to bring you closer to the hopelessness and fear of the Czech people who experienced the invasion of the armies of the Warsaw Pact.
Later on we’ll visit a real nuclear bunker built in the 1950s, which was intended to be a place of protection for a chosen few. You’ll learn interesting facts about the secret plans that the Czechoslovak military was commanded to follow in the case of a nuclear war, and how the country would function after the bombing.
We’ll also provide fascinating information about the spying techniques used by the communists, and share stories about the lives of border guards who were protecting the Iron Curtain.
