What's in a Prague street name

Brabcova was built in 1938.

It’s not been easy to find information on this one. Apparently, Karel Brabec was born in 1909, was a labourer, and a member of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia.

He was executed in 1942 for taking part in resistance activities.

Before 1952, the street was named after Hynek Krušina z Lichtenburka, a noble who first fought on the Hussite side in the 1400s, then on the side of the Catholics.
