Abstract
The participation of the US Army in the liberation of Western Bohemia in
spring 1945 has been a popular topic for historians and non-professional public
as well. However, all the books and articles dealing with this theme are based
on the written sources or the contemporaries’ testimony. The perspectives
of the archaeological approach to this topic are quite marginal. This article
represents few international projects, which have dealt with the activities of
the Americans during World War II, and nears its possible application of the
realization of this topic in our country.
