October 1944 A brigade headquarters in the villageVeliteľstvo brigády v dedine

The Slovak National Uprising began on 29 August 1944, and in October the village held the insurgent command post of the 2nd Czechoslovak Paratroop Brigade — a Czechoslovak unit formed in the Soviet Union and flown into the Uprising through the airfield at Tri Duby, a few kilometres west. A brigade headquarters in a village of farmhouses tells you what the Uprising actually was: not an army in barracks but a country improvising a war out of what it had. On 27–28 October Banská Bystrica fell and the open front ended; what was left of the brigade went into the mountains and fought on through the winter as partisans.Slovenské národné povstanie vypuklo 29. augusta 1944 a v októbri bolo v obci povstalecké veliteľské stanovisko 2. československej paradesantnej brigády — československej jednotky sformovanej v Sovietskom zväze a prelietanej do povstania cez letisko Tri Duby, pár kilometrov na západ. Veliteľstvo brigády v dedine gazdovských domov hovorí, čím povstanie naozaj bolo: nie armádou v kasárňach, ale krajinou, ktorá si improvizovala vojnu z toho, čo mala. 27. – 28. októbra padla Banská Bystrica a otvorený front sa skončil; čo z brigády zostalo, odišlo do hôr a bojovalo cez zimu ako partizáni.
