Prague still carries the scars of one of the most audacious acts of resistance in World War II.

In 1942, two parachutists were sent to kill Reinhard Heydrich - one of Hitler’s most feared men.

What followed changed a city forever.

To most it’s just a street corner in Vinohrady.

But it’s also the last address of Karel Čurda, the parachutist who betrayed his comrades, including the pair who had assassinated senior Nazi Reinhard Heydrich.

So many stories hidden in plain sight.

Around 800 German civilians were massacred by Czechoslovak soldiers at Postoloprty in 1945.

Today, Czech students are carrying their names on a 15km memorial march.

The Sudetenland remains a landscape of memory.

In fact it doesn’t say that. It says her family lived here.

Good morning from Tirana. Mother Theresa was born in this house. It says.

@robertmueller74 Art bunker. Or bunker art. We didn’t go in as were in search of food and beer. Boy did we find it.

[Rob Cameron @RobCJournalist]

Tirana, first time in 20 years. Fun.

[Rob Cameron @RobCJournalist]

One Prague street. One hairpin bend. One attack that shook the Third Reich.

The geography of Operation Anthropoid is still visible today.

Here’s where to look.

@Quarrion87 Though it was in Zamocka right, not Židovská?

[Rob Cameron @RobCJournalist]

Incredible 1955 image of Bratislava’s Židovská (Jewish) street, with some buildings demolished. The gap could be where the Orthodox Synagogue was, not sure.

@Jablonecak30362 pardon ten barevnej je omyl! Zrejme francie...nikoliv Bratislava.

The ruined Bratislava Castle during the interwar First Republic (photo courtesy of Bratislava - Retro Facebook group).

It’s seen regimes come and go, and looks rather different today.

For years, much of Europe treated geography as something history had overcome.

The current Baltic tensions are a reminder that maps still shape how countries see danger, distance, and reality.
