March 1939 events

The Battle of Czajánek's barracks (Czech: Bitva o Czajankovu kasárnu) was a confrontation between the Czechoslovak and German armies, which took place on 14 March 1939 in the course of the German occupation of Czechoslovakia. Together with a clash which allegedly took place at Moravská Třebová, this was the only known Czechoslovak active resistance to the German Army during the occupation of Bohemia and Moravia in March 1939. The battle took place simply because German forces cut Czechoslovak communication lines too early and the army unit stationed in the barracks didn't receive the general order to surrender.
