This paper seeks to map the main aspects of coexistence of the Czech civilian population of Silesia and northern Moravia, and members of the armed forces in the spring of 1945. Another point of focus is the stereotypes associated with the perception of the „enemy“ and the „liberators“ in the collective memory of the region‘s inhabitants, as well as how these stereotypes changed, depending on social development and time elapsed since the events in question took place. Research predominantly draws on chronicles, memoirs, personal documents and eyewitness testimonies.
