The article is about a new book on the famous American General George Patton. According to the journalist who wrote the book, Patton possibly poisoned by the Russian Secret Service. Now this is interesting because it is another individual, not unlike Jan Masaryk who died at a key point in time. Patton's army liberated Czechoslovakia 3-weeks before the Russians. Then the American army was ordered to leave. Of course, Patton did not want to leave. He wanted to take his army all the way to Moscow. With the current danger for Czech and Slovakia coming from the Russian sphere, the opinion in the book would be interesting to many people.

Project Concept for the 70th anniversary of World War II
The 70th anniversary project is focused on the Czechoslovak soldiers from both fronts, East and West, fighting in the anti-Hitler coalition.

It's not just about the soldiers, but the entire Nazi opposition resistance, that was persecuted after 1945 by the communist totalitarian regime for their patriotic efforts during the fascist dictatorship, which was then substituted by the criminal communist dictatorship.

One of the most renowned brands associated with Canada is Bata Shoes, which was transformed into a global retail leader during the period when the headquarters of Bata was in Canada (between 1945-2004).
