Memorial of soviet pilots

Memorial of soviet pilots, Military memorial in Dobroslavice, Czech Republic.

The Memorial of Soviet Pilots in Dobroslavice is a commemorative site honoring Soviet aviators who flew missions in the region during World War II. The installation displays aviation symbols and informational plaques that detail specific military operations conducted during the conflict.

On 21 April 1945 a Soviet Boston A-20 B bomber of the 321st Bombardment Division, with a crew of four, was hit by German anti-aircraft fire and crashed in the woods south of Dobroslavice. Two crewmen died in the crash, one was shot by German soldiers and one escaped captivity and survived the war in the forest. The memorial was unveiled on 9 May 2013, built by Silesia Hunters, the Klub vojenské historie Slezsko and the Jilešovice association.

The memorial is named after the Soviet pilots of a Boston A-20 B bomber of the Red Army's 321st Bomber Division, hit by German anti-aircraft fire on 21 April 1945. Two crew members died in the crash, one was shot by German soldiers and one escaped captivity and survived the war in the woods. The site was built by Silesia Hunters, the Klub vojenské historie Slezsko and the Jilešovice association, and unveiled on 9 May 2013 with Russia's consul general present.

The memorial stands in woodland south of Dobroslavice, above the Na Rybárně cottage settlement, so it is reached on foot along forest paths rather than by road. An information panel stands beside the stone monument. The site is outdoors and unstaffed, so wear footwear for uneven forest ground and check the weather before setting out.

The memorial is topped with a forged metal propeller, not a sculpture of a specific aircraft type. Nearby stands an information panel recounting the 21 April 1945 loss of a Boston A-20 B of the 321st Bomber Division.
