Title: 1930s Czechoslavakia - Photos of funeral of Czechoslovakian president Masaryk
Post by: GrumpyOldMan on 22 November 2015, 11:01:39 PM
Hi

Anybody with an interest in the 1930s might like to have a look at http://www.ebay.de/itm/Fotoalbum-Begrabnis-President-Masaryk-T-G-M-photo-album-Czechoslovakia-Prag-CZ-/331714651429?hash=item4d3bbbe525:g:tlgAAOSwHQ9WUdR8 (http://www.ebay.de/itm/Fotoalbum-Begrabnis-President-Masaryk-T-G-M-photo-album-Czechoslovakia-Prag-CZ-/331714651429?hash=item4d3bbbe525:g:tlgAAOSwHQ9WUdR8) which shows the pictures from a photo album (1937). It includes pictures of Czech military and equipment. Sample below:-

I'd suggest saving the page since pictures don't last long on ebay pages.

They should have his top hat on the hearse. It's very much a Masaryk icon for Czechs.
