World War One was full of many great stories of bravery, sacrifice, and loss. The American "Lost Battalion" was one such story. Over 600 American infantrymen were surrounded by German forces in the Argonne Forrest in October of 1918. Their own American artillery mistakenly fired on their position and the only saving option rested on the wings of the carrier pigeon named Cher Ami.

The sinking of the Vasa in 1628 was a tragic and expensive failure by the Swede navy.

On her maiden test run in August of that year, this top-heavy flagship took on water after opening the canon gunports and sank within minutes.

Found nearly 330 years later, the Vasa was brought to the surface and underwent decades of conservation to be placed in its own state-of-the-art museum in Stockholm.

This epic fail turned out to be a historic gift for millions of visitors to this amazing museum.

Executioner of Prague, Jan Mydlar, was a well known 17th-century man of the sword.

His duty to his craft of torture and execution came in direct conflict with his personal sentiments with the condemned noblemen of the uprising known as the Battle of White Mountain.

In 1621, the 27 noblemen that organized the protestant uprising we led from the gallows to the execution site in Prague's Old Town Square.

Waiting for them, with sword in hand, Jan Mydlar......the Executioner of Prague.

It was May 1945 and American forces were freeing the people of western Czechoslovakia from their Nazi overlords. Lieutenant Colonel Matt Konop led several first contact missions into these Czech towns, mainly armed with his knowledge of the Czech language. Just like that, he became a legend. Konop's grandson, Patrick Dewane, has kept the memory of this accidental hero alive with his 90-minute, one-man play. We had a chance to talk with him on the eve of his trip to the Czech Republic for liberation weekend 2017.

Alphonse Mucha was "the" Czech Art Nouveau painter and decorative artist of his time. He was known best for his distinct style. He produced many paintings, illustrations, advertisements, postcards, and designs. His Slav Epic paintings were used as a pan slavic unifying movement and an illustrated history for the Czech and Moravian peoples. The Czechs call him "theirs" and his art is a testament to forward thinking with an historic relevance to the time in which he lived.

The kingdom of Greater Moravia, in what is today the Czech Republic, was a high water mark for self governance of the Czech, Moravian, and Slovak peoples. The leadership of several strong rulers of the day and the influence of two Christian brothers, allowed Greater Moravia to thrive for brief moment in history. Tonight we talk about the influence on religion and language brought by Cyril and Methodius to the Slavic peoples of Central Europe.

The Austria-Hungarian Empire had their hands full against the Russians in the fall of 1914 outside of Warsaw, Poland. By the winter of 1915, the defense of the Fortress Przemyśl took its toll as harsh winter conditions set in. The embedded Czech soldiers fought off the Russian siege, frostbite, starvation, and disease while deep in the Carpathian Mountains. The Battle of Dukla was the prelude to the utter devastation and horrors that would become common place on World War One battlefronts. Disillusionment of Czech forces under poor Austria-Hungarian leadership would lead to mass desertion and defection to Entente armies.

The end of World War One saw the creation of Czechoslovakia and the first republic. The Czechs were finding their collective identity and global footing when the Third Reich appeared on the scene. The Czechs and Slovaks were bartered away for the hope of "peace in our time" to appease Hitler. What would follow would lead Czechoslovakia back to protectorate status under Nazi Germany and later, the Soviet Union. It was the end of the first republic and an end of an era.

On a special episode of the Bohemican podcast, we welcome the History of Alchemy podcast listeners with a topic focused on alchemy, a deal with the devil, and alchemical legend spanning nearly 600 years. Johannes Faust was more a myth than a man but his legend helped to inspire alchemical discoveries and create unforgettable ghost stories here in Prague well after his supposed death. A modern day archaeological find in Germany may give proof that this man really did exist. Tonight we present the legend of Faust and the Devil.

Stara Boleslav was the site of the murder of Saint Vaclav, or Wenceslas, some 1000 years ago. The patron Saint of the Czech People met his untimely death at the hands of his brother on the steps of the Chapel that carries his name today. This small town, located just east of Prague, is also a pilgrimage site for thousands.

The Thirty Years War was a brutal and bloody conflict in Europe. Many say the war started in Prague with the defenestrations, yet now the battle has come to the doorstep of Bohemia. The Swedish army, also comprised of ruthless mercenaries, launched an all-out attack on Prague. A determined army of citizens are the only thing stopping the Swedes from burning Prague to the ground.

February 14, 1945 - The closing months of fighting in Europe during World War Two proved to be very deadly as the Allies marched towards Berlin. The mid-February 1945 mission to destroy Dresden, Germany is still a point of historical contention to this day. However, many outside of the Czech Republic don't know of the reason why Prague is connected to the Dresden Bombing runs. The U.S. 398th Bomb Group mistakenly dropped it's payload on Prague during the bombing runs on Dresden, Germany. We examine the reasons that led to this bombing and focus on the aftermath in Dresden and in Prague.

The Bohemican Podcast examines the lives of three powerful woman in Czech history. From the mists of myth and legend to the humbleness of serving the poor and destitute, these women of Bohemia were determined and dedicated to their respective causes. The ancient Pagan Princess Libuse forged a new kingdom on the banks of the Vltava and foretold of the creation of the city of Prague. Her death sparked the Maiden's War against the men that ended in bloodshed and defeat for these warrior women. The noble born Agnes, daughter of King Otakar, forfeited her birthright and plans for an arranged marriage to serve Christ and start a convent to serve the poor of Prague. And finally, the Good Queen Anne of Bohemia proved that one could help shape history through the hardships of an arranged marriage forever linking Bohemia with England. Her marriage to King Richard II was one of power and love.

The Vojna Prison was one of the largest forced labor camps in 1950's Czechoslovakia. The newly entrenched communist government began the work of imprisoning thousands of Czech citizens on the grounds of treason against the state. Anyone deemed a threat to the new order was sentenced to years of forced labor in the uranium mines of Vojna, just south of Prague. We visit the remains of this camp on this episode of the Bohemican podcast.

Some Czechs called them stone cold murders while others named them heroes of the oppressed. The Masin brother's left a divided legacy among the Czech people during their escape from communist controlled Czechoslovakia in the early 1950s. The two brothers, Josef and Ctirad, led a ragtag "Group of Five" that believed they could start a Czech resistance force behind the Soviet Iron Curtain. The Bohemican Podcast follows the manhunt and daring escape to the West of the Masin brothers.

We examine Czechoslovakia's first Communist President and consistently voted "Worst Czech Leader", Klement Gottwald. What many would call a "true believer" in the socialist construct, Gottwald helped the communist party gain a foot-hold in Czechoslovak politics following World War Two with a political coup backed by Moscow. During this time political rivals were ruined, dissidents were imprisoned in labor camps, and public and secret trials against individuals linked to underground movements were conducted. Gottwald took the actions similar to the pages from Stalin's "playbook". The communists were entrenched in power and the Iron Curtain fell in front of the Czech people. Our spotlight shines upon President Klement Gottwald.

It is also common to see Czechs file into churches and synagogues worshiping with their brothers and sisters in the faith.

The American War for Independence was over and the French Revolution Reign of Terror was in full bloom. A hero of both nations was under lock and key in the prison fortress of Olomouc in Northern Moravia (todayâ€™s Eastern part of the Czech Republic).

Houska Castle is generally known as the most haunted castle in all of Bohemia. A large gash in the limestone rock opened up a "bottomless pit" sometime in the 12th century. A holy chapel was built on the site to cover this "Pit to Hell" and later a castle was constructed to guard against whatever could come out of that hole. Houska Castle welcomes thousands of visitors every year to showcase this structure with a legendary and mysterious past full of paranormal activity.

Operation Anthropoid was organized to rid the Czech people of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, Reinhard Heydrich in May of 1942. The assassination attempt was successful but proved costly. Hitler's retribution was swift and complete as his forces executed those that collaborated with the operation. The small Czech village of Lidice was razed to the ground on June 10, 1942 and soon after several other Czech townships met a similar fate. The assassination of Heydrich is our focus on this episode of the Bohemican Podcast.

On the first episode of our special Bohemican Podcast series called Czechs in the Great War, we will set the table with the numerous events and conditions that led to the outbreak of World War One. The Czech people are caught in the middle of the conflict and have to choose a side. Some stay loyal to the Austrian-Hungarian Empire while others fight alongside the Russians, the British, or in the French Foreign Legion. The winds of war approach and there is no turning back.

This is the original "International Man of Mystery". He is the most famous Czech in history for accomplishments ranging from discovering the North Pole to inventing the telephone. Many believe this famous man of the late 19th century helped shape the 20th century through his inspired yet overshadowed accomplishments. Plays, books, and several film adaptations have kept his memory alive for over one hundred years. Not too bad for a man that never existed. We will do our best to piece together the semi-factual fragments of Chimrman's life and present this legend that is little known to outsider yet revered by the Czech people. The man...the myth...the legend of Jara Chimrman.

The late 1960's were a time of social and political upheaval around the world and Prague was no exception. In 1968, the Czechoslovakian people were pushing for more openness with the West and the concept of "Socialism with a face" was in vogue. With the election of reformist Secretary Alexander Dubcek, Moscow had enough and ordered Warsaw Pact forces into Czechoslovakia. All reforms were suspended but the flame of freedom would not perish. The self-immolation of college student Jan Palach in January of 1969 and his death several days later would resonate across the globe.

Jan Hus was a Czech priest and philosopher and was known to be the first church reformer of the early 15th century. His viewpoint on the Catholic Church and her priests sparked a backlash that led to his excommunication and later execution in 1419. The followers of Jan Hus took up arms in his memory and helped to usher in the Thirty Years War. We will examine the life of Jan Hus and the aftermath that ensued; the Hussite War.

Sokol (Falcon in English) is a people's movement that began in the 19th century in the Czech lands. With it's athletic foundation centered around gymnastics, Sokol's patriotic ideals helped to establish a revival of the "Czech Identity". Membership soared in the early 20th century as the first Republic of Czechoslovakia took hold. Our podcast focuses upon the unique bond Sokol had on the Czech revival of the past and the role Sokol plays even today.

His historical name was Jan VelflÃn from Pomuku. Most know him as Saint Jan of Nepomuk, the martyred archbishop that was thrown to his death over Prague's Charles Bridge in 1393. We will examine this 14th century Czech martyr and the various legends attributed to the motivations of his murder. Was he murdered because he was protecting the sanctity of the confessional or was he marked for death because he backed the wrong Pope? We will examine the many angles of this story on this edition of the Bohemican Podcast.

The Czech people have been greatly influenced by their European neighbors through the centuries. Many speculate that these influences have colored and shaped their viewpoint on the world around them. Foreign political pressures have, at times, isolated the Czech people from foreign contact and cultural exchange. In the 21st Century, the Czech people continue to struggle with age-old rivalries and exposure to a variety of new challenges on the world stage.

The history of the Jewish people in Prague is one of triumph and heartbreak, setbacks and survival. Long an integral part of the citizenry of Prague, the Jewish community adapted to various regal mandates and survived horrible medieval pogroms. Rabbi Loew's 16th century leadership and faith inspired succeeding generations and a mythical man of clay was said to protect the innocent of Prague. Throughout the dark days of medieval justice and a 20th century holocaust, the Jews of Prague persevered. Join us for a look into the history of Jewish Prague.
