The Soviet units came to Czech territory in April 1945 and stayed there for some time until their withdrawal back to the USSR. The units were identified by five-digit field post numbers. Overviews of Soviet units operating on Czech territory and of their field post numbers are not available. Help wanted !

The 1st Czechoslovak Corps participated in the fightings of the Soviet Army at the
eastern front and was involved in the Soviet field post service. Units of the 1st
Czechoslovak Corps came to Czech territory in the second half of April 1945. On May 15,
1945 the Cops became the 1st Army and its brigades were converted to divisions. It is not
known when the Soviet field post ended its service for the Czechoslovak units.
