The Czechoslovak government built a system of border fortifications (

An integral part of the Czechoslovakian national defence was the cleverly thought-out system of infantry obstacles and tank barriers. Probably well known are the Czech hedgehogs (

This historic photo depicted the remnants of anti-tank barrier between the infantry blockhouse N-S 82 Brezinka (
visit link) and the infantry blockhouse N-S 81 Lom. You can see two lines of barriers - one is formed from Czech hedgehogs and second line was build from iron girders inserting in concrete base slab.
