It was here, at a place called “Na Obcizně”, that the citizens of Pilsen (led by Karel Šindler, later the first director of the Pilsen radio studio) captured, after a dramatic battle, a German transmitter whose task was to jam the London broadcast. After the capture of this transmitter, famous words came from the air at 0:05 pm on May 5, 1945: “Pilsen speaks, free Pilsen speaks.”

A replica of the German Luftwaffe's medium-wave transmitter, which was placed here in 1945, is now located in front of the building of Czech Radio Pilsen on náměstí Míru.
