The Czech National Council issued a statement on the end of the Protectorate and on the assumption of government and executive power. First there were demonstrations, which soon turned into armed resistance. It was the largest of the battles of the Czech May Uprising, which, like the Prague Offensive, led by the Soviet Union from the Eastern Front and the liberation of southwestern Bohemia by the American army, helped the final liberation of Czechoslovakia.The retreating German Army Group Center of nearly a million men under the command of Field Marshal Ferdinand Schorner, surrounded by the Soviet Army, wanted to get out of its position in Hradec Kralove into American captivity.However, the insurgents controlled the shortest route through Prague and its surroundings. The Germans deployed all available equipment against the poorly armed Prague uprising, the insurgents themselves would not have been able to defend themselves, and Prague Radio repeatedly asked for help. General Vlasov's ROA units responded to the call and intervened against the Germans in the southwestern parts of Prague. However, the Czech National Council refused to recognize the ROA as its ally, which led to its departure from the city.The heaviest fighting took place on May 7. Soviet troops were approaching Prague and the Germans capitulated in Prague the next day. Most of the German units thus began their retreat. When the Soviet troops entered Prague on the morning of May 9, they had already cleared the city of only the remnants of the fanatical German troops.During the years of communism, the May Uprising in Prague was interpreted in a rather one-sided way, while the activities of the communists and the contribution of the Red Army to the liberation of Prague were highlighted (Wiki).
