No Man's Land 1945: The Republic of Schwarzenberg

The Second World War is over yet East has not met West everywhere. Nestled in the Ore mountains a region centred around the town of Schwarzenberg remains strangely empty of Allied Occupying Forces. It seems as the world has forgotten this small town that once lay on the border of Czechoslovakia.

Discover the strange story of Schwarzenberg and how for 42 days at the end of the Second World War it fell into no occupation zone but formed its own government and council and how history can be misleading.
