Mahross,
Try the Osprey Men At Arms title "Foreign Volunteers of the Allies". It lists ALL the Allied units from occupied countries.
Or the Stone & Stone website which lists Orbats for WW2.
Regards,
Gordon

Mahross,

I never came across Czech ground units. Lot of aircrews, though. Did a quick internetsearch and came up with 1 unit:

Czechoslovak Independent Armoured Brigade Group (Československá samostatná obrněná brigáda):
-Brigade Commander:
Brig Alois Liska (May 1943-May 1945)

-Campaign for Northwest Europe: 1 Sep 1944-May 1945. Transferred to US III Army April 1945

This is from a gamers-site but all the other info on that site seems accurate...

Afterthought: I guess Kai's sites already covered this as well, though....

Mah,
Try the Stone and Stone website (forget the URL). It contains ORBATS for all the Allied nations, Czechs included.
