- ALT1:... that under Nazi German pressure Ivan Borkovský identified the Prague Castle skeleton as a Nordic burial and under Soviet occupation as a Slavic burial? "Once again, German pressure was applied ... The published article was overt in its Nazi-influenced, Nordic interpretation. In addition to the title, it stated explicitly that “the grave of a Viking was discovered”" and "The end of the Second World War brought another change in the body's identity. Following Germany's defeat, Czechoslovakia was occupied by the Soviets and remained under strong Soviet influence after the Red Army's departure at the end of 1945. In 1945, Borkovský narrowly escaped being sent to a Siberian Gulag ... After explaining that he had been forced into the pro-Viking interpretation, he soon published his second article (Borkovský 1946).
