The Falcon flag at the public transport tram in Brno

The Falcon flag has appeared at the public transport tram in Brno, as Czechia commemorates today, on Tuesday, October 8, 2019, for the first time as a Day of Significance, the 1,500 members of the Sokol (Falcon) sports organisation whom the Nazis arrested and deported to concentration camps on new Deputy Reichsprotektor Reinhard Heydrich's order in the night of October 8, 1941. A few days after the raid, the Nazis banned Falcon. A total of about 5,000 Falcon members were murdered or died in fightings during WWII. Commemorative events and exhibitions highlighting the fate of the Falcon victims and Falcon's role in the struggle for freedom, national independence and democracy take place in many Czech towns today.
