Description

A small military light fortification object model 36 in the cadastre of the municipality of Vrbovec is gradually being restored to its original form by the Military History Club 43rd Infantry Regiment Brno. On selected days – for example, on the occasion of the anniversary of the founding of Czechoslovakia – the bunker opens to the public, and club members in period uniforms introduce visitors to the local history and military technology. You can find the bunker opposite a small blue and white chapel about 200 m from Vrbovec on the road towards the settlement of Hnízdo. It is a light fortification model 36, a predecessor of the more well-known "ŘOPÍKŮ" (the abbreviation ŘOP referred to the Directorate of Fortification Works, which managed the construction of the interwar border fortifications). The full designation consists of construction section 2 (Znojmo), object number 56, and type of object 1. Interestingly, objects of this type differ in South Moravia and in Bohemia. The object originally served as a two-shooter machine gun nest, but during post-war reactivation, it was converted into an observation post. The gun ports were concreted, covered with panel boards, and only small slits were left. The entire object was subsequently buried with earth. https://www.facebook.com/KlubVojenskeHistorie43pesiPlukBrno https://www.kvh43.cz
