This Czech Knight Resisted Nazi Aggression When the World Abandoned His Country Chivalry wasn't dead in 1938 when Nazi tanks rolled into Czechoslovakia. It lived on in at least one man: Josef Menčík, also known as the "Knight of Strakonice." Once described as "the definition of living history," Menčík owned and refurbished a castle in his native country and took the time to teach medieval history to anyone who would listen. More importantly, when the world decided to allow Nazi Germany to annex the Sudetenland, a large chunk of his country, Menčík rode out to meet Adolf Hitler's tanks, alone and in full medieval armor. link Wolfhag |

Crazy story, never heard it before. "Menčík was a local councilor and "adventurer" with a taste for rum and anchovies", thinking maybe more rum than anchovies. |
