Anti-Hitler coalition and German armed forces met in the final days of World War II on May, 1945, on the demarcation line.

The demarcation line also covered the territory of former Czechoslovakia. Originally, it was supposed to copy approximately the Czech-Bavarian border, but given that the Allies had reached this line significantly earlier than the Soviets, a new course of this line was agreed on the Karlovy Vary - Pilsen - Ceské Budejovice line.

This 3D model depicts a deployment of armies beside Rokycany town on the May 1945.


=========================================================

Demarkacní cára se týkala i území tehdejšího Ceskoslovenska. Puvodne mela kopírovat približne cesko-bavorskou hranici,[1] ale vzhledem k tomu, že Spojenci dorazili k této linii výrazne dríve než Soveti, tak byl dohodnut nový prubeh této cáry na linii mest Karlovy Vary - Plzen - Ceské Budejovice.

Tato linie zustala platná a dodržená i presto, že Spojenci museli na této linii cekat nekdy 2 - 3 dny, než se setkali s Rudou armádou. Tím napríklad bylo dáno, že Plzen až do Plas (mimo Plasy) osvobodila americká armáda, která zde byla již 6. kvetna, kdežto Soveti museli do Prahy dojít až 9. kvetna. Americký velitel George S. Patton, který osvobodil Plzen a došel až do Rokycan, chtel postupovat dále až do Prahy a osvobodit ji. Americká vojska byla od Prahy vzdálena jen 2 - 3 hodiny jízdy. Vrchní velitelé amerických vojsk ovšem Pattonovi zabránili v postupu na Prahu v domnení, že Rudá armáda již zahájila operaci na osvobození Prahy.
