Pomník padlých WWII

The monument was unveiled on September 25, 1955 as part of the Week of International Fight against Fascism. The originally announced date of the revelation on September 8 was rejected by the party authorities due to securing the harvest and a collision with the Aviation Day in Prague. The monument has the inscription "Victims of Fascism - Rokycanský District 1939–1945". The author of the monument is the academic sculptor Václav Koukolíček. It is to commemorate more than 420 victims of the fascist occupation of Rokycany. The monument has undergone numerous changes since its unveiling. On May 4, 1977, a memorial plaque covering the finger from the battlefields near Stalingrad and Sokolov was unveiled in front of the monument on the occasion of the 5th year of the Shield of the Podbrd partisans dedicated to Rokycany in the anti-fascist resistance. The event was also attended by representatives of the Central Group of Soviet troops and party and state authorities. In the early evening, a lantern parade took place from the square to the stadium. On May 7, individual competitions in Husovy sady and a shooting duel took place. In 1987, a finger was added from Leningrad (today's St. Petersburg). The finger was placed about 1 meter in front of the monument under a granite slab with an inscription. In 1995, a copper crown of thorns was stolen from the top of the monument. On May 7, 2000, a restored and modified monument to the victims of World War II was unveiled. A commemorative card was inserted into the foundations of the monument. The project was designed by architect Vladimír Štrunc. 141 names of those who died during the Nazi occupation were marked on oblique granite slabs.
