A few thousand of these were policemen from the Police of the Czech Republic（英语：Police of the Czech Republic） and 國家憲兵 as well as soldiers from the 1st Battalion of the 波希米亞和摩拉維亞政府軍, all of whom were lightly armed.[2] The remainder were civilians, mostly young men with no prior military training.[3][4] Numerous female civilians fought in the uprising, while others were escaped Allied 战俘 (some of whom were Soviet, British, French and Dutch) or Jews who had escaped from 納粹集中營.[5][6]
Approximately 10,000 of these were 武装党卫队 troops who were sent to Prague after the start of the uprising.[8] The remainder included regular 德意志國防軍 infantry, 納粹德國空軍 personnel from the disbanded Flak corps（英语：Flak corps）, 希特拉青年團 members and armed German civilians.[9][10]
