Monument to death partisans on Mělce, War memorial on Mělce hill near Louny, Czech Republic

The Monument to the Fallen Partisans on Mělce stands on the Mělce hill near Louny, at the spot where three Soviet paratroopers of the Jan Kozina group died on 17 October 1944. It is a memorial site protected as a cultural monument since 26 June 1973.

The memorial was unveiled on 15 September 1946 on the Mělce hill near Louny, at the spot where three Soviet paratroopers of the Jan Kozina group died on 17 October 1944. It has been protected as a cultural monument since 26 June 1973. A second memorial from 1976 stands on the western edge of Louny where the bodies were first laid; both were restored in 2014.

The memorial is a listed cultural monument since 26 June 1973. Local people began laying flowers at the spot where the three paratroopers' bodies were laid near Louny, and a second small monument from 1976 marks that place on the town's western edge. Both were restored in 2014, before the 70th anniversary.

The memorial is located in a remote area and is best reached by car via local roads. Visitors should wear warm clothing as the site is exposed to the elements.

The bodies of the three paratroopers were first laid under a pillar at a road junction on the western edge of Louny, where local Czechs began leaving flowers. The German commissioner then had them moved to the cemetery, and later to Terezín, where they were cremated and the ashes scattered in the Ohře. A second small monument from 1976 marks that first burial place.
