Czech term

pasovských vojsk

Czech to English Other History
Is there any specific way how to translate this to English? I know that vojsk is army, but the **pasovských** has me stumped.

Here is the full sentence: "Pamětní deska na nároží Taxbergova domu připomíná smrt městského písaře Šimona Plachého při vpádu pasovských vojsk"

Thanks.

Passau troops (forces)

Pasov in Czech is Pssau (Austrian city). I guess this must be it.

OK, it\'s just inside Germany, but on the Austrian border. It\'s still Passau, though.

This is an adjective of the name of the city Pasov (Passau in Germany), I am sure. There is no other meaning in Czech.
