My guess is that it commemorates the deaths of some allied soldiers who were holed up by Germans in the crypt of a church in France or Belgium in WW2. The damage is bullet holes from attacking German guns. If I remember rightly there was a black and white war film made in the 1940s that portrayed the event.

Think that might be Cyril and Methodius Church in Prague…

 

In 1942, during World War II, the cathedral was where a last stand was made by SOE-trained Czech and Slovak agents involved in the assassination of SS-ObergruppenführerReinhard Heydrich. SS and Police Leader of Waffen-SS Karl Fischer von Treuenfeldcommanded the Nazi forces that stormed the church on 18 June 1942. After a fierce gun battle, two of the Czechoslovaks were killed and the rest committed suicide to avoid capture.

Yeah Operation Daybreak. 

Ever since watching it years ago, I've always wanted to visit the crypt. A few days ago I managed it, standing in the men's footsteps. 

It was an Honour.
