The Massacre in Trhová Kamenice occurred on 8 May 1945 in what is now the Czech Republic. Prior to the massacre, in the midst of the Prague uprising, a similar uprising broke out in the town of Trhová Kamenice on 5 May; 30 German soldiers residing there were disarmed and interned in a local school building after the surrender of their commander. The partisans, less than 30 in number and armed with light weapons, hid on both sides of the road behind the village of Rohozná, about two kilometres (1.2 miles) north of Trhová Kamenice, and prepared barricades. The first confrontation occurred on the afternoon of 5 May; a convoy of German vehicles going towards Chrudim from Ždírec (now Ždírec nad Doubravou) exchanged fire with the partisans, killing four Germans, two members of the Russian Liberation Army (ROA), and a partisan of squad Lev ('Lion'), Josef Kumpán of Dřevíkov. As the partisans were very badly outnumbered, they were routed by the Germans. On 8 May, 140 German military vehicles arrived near the village; the partisans assumed that they were sent there in retaliation for the previous action against the soldiers.
