How Czechoslovak Army and Czechoslovakia could defend when the Czechoslovak Army headquarters was actually in Moscow (Warshaw Pact headquarters was actually Soviet Army headquarters), Soviet generals had the plans of Czechoslovak army mobilization, they know Czechoslovak units site and numbers, everywhere in Czechoslovakia (and the other WP governments and army headquarters) were KGB spies, Czechoslovak secret servicies were directed only to the West.
So how you can defend without information against total predominance, when enemies have been actually “commarades” still only a few hours ago, you are totally suprised by invasion and all your military units are on western part of state against Germany and Austria. Shooting would mean only murdering of Czech and Slovak civilians…anyway it was…
According to Úřad pro vyšetřování zločinů komunismu ( Authority of communism crimes investigation in the Czech Republic) Warsaw pact armies killed 90 Czechoslovak citizens from 21 August to 1 October 1968 (three 15 years or less old children, nine between 15-18 years old people, twenty-seven 30 years or younger people) – 88 were killed by soviet army, 2 by polish soldier in Nový Jičín, this soldier was sentenced and executed and his polish unit dispatched from Nový Jičín to home instantly. 301 people was heavy injured, 526 lightly injured.
About WP dead soldiers
Gauck´s Authority for procesing STASI archive presents 58 dead german soldiers in Czechoslovakia ( it sounds unbelievable because there were only about 200-250 german soldiers during August attack and occupation, maybe STASI bull****…nobody knows)
Two commissions of generalcolonel of Russian federation ministry of defence G. F. Krivoshejev presented that 98 Soviet soldiers perished during occupation – official ministry of defence source:
12 dead due to “Czechoslovak citizens hostile activity consequence”, for example “agent provocateurs blocked ride for tanks by small children an women and the soldiers couldn´t stop the tank and they didn´t want to kill children and women, so they turn to the right down to slope, tank was overturned and two soldiers was dead” – yes, this story I can read in two “truthful” russian sources – one in czech with a lot of blunders of “tisková skupina sovětských žurnalistů”/”soviet journalists press group” source/1968 Moscow and Zolotarev´s publication “USSR and Russia in local conflicts of the 20th century” – same names of the soldiers, but two different places and two different times, about further similar stories….etc…..; 50 dead due to crashs, disasters, 24 due to non careful manipulation with weapons, 4 due to illness, 3 for other circumstances, 5 suicides. 185 soviet soldiers were injured
One Bulgarian soldiers was killed by Czech citizen, he was arrested and sentenced.
Operation “the Danube” – agression against Czechoslovakia – meant 6 300 tanks, 2 000 cannons, 550 fighter planes a 250 transport planes and about 450 000 soldiers of WP – 20 soviet divisions-first echelon, 10 divisions as second echelon later (never confirmed officially), 3 polish divisions ( 24 000 soldiers, 647 tanks, 285 cannons, 36 choppers), 1 hungarian reinforced division ( 10 000 soldiers, 177 tanks, 165 cannons, 10 choppers and one trasport plane), 2 bulgarian regiments (one in Prague, 2164 soldiers) and about 250 german soldiers ( with soviet units as support, radiooperators etc, 6 divisions were planned, but fear of czech citizens reaction resulted only 2 divisions on czech-german border on german area), Czechoslovak army had 13 divisions, 2 anti-aircraft corps and 7 brigades of border guard on the whole in 1968.
