Frank, German secretary of state and chief of police in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, discusses with his commanders how to transform the city into an impregnable fortress, but the citizens of Prague do not intend to wait any longer. From the early hours of the 4th of May, people start assembling in the streets and tearing down German signs. The next day, the uprising begins.
