Context

edit

The series covers the period from 1936 to 1945, i.e. the period before, during and after the World War II. The series was popular thanks to the constellation of well-known actors, lively dialogues, intertwined stories and fates, but (in the context of normalization) also less ideological burden than was usual at the time. It affects feelings and patriotism, because significant moments such as the Prague uprising or repression during Reinhard Heydrich's tenure and after his assassination also appear in the series.
