The Romanians also liberated Czechoslovakia. They reached the Vysočina region through the Zlín region.

After heavy fighting, German troops withdraw from the White Carpathians to avoid encirclement. The liberators' troops have difficulty making their way through the muddy mountainous terrain. Under the cover of darkness on May 1, 1945, they enter Slavicin. They have previously liberated Brumov-Bylnice, Hostetin and Šanov. However, they are not Soviets, but members of the 21st Infantry Division of the Royal Romanian Army.
