The 40 Most Interesting Czech WWII Bunkers - Czech Republic - There's a Book About It on Waymarking.com

The Czechoslovak (CSR) government built a system of border fortifications (visit link) from 1935 to 1938 as a defensive countermeasure against the rising threat of Nazi Germany.
Because of the extreme length of the border line the CSR had to defend (visit link) , the build-up of an uninterrupted line of heavy fortifications e.g. (visit link) , (visit link) was neither technically nor financially possible.

The mainly built fortified constructions were light fortified installations - pillboxes model 36 and, most of all, the installations model 37. The bunkers model 37 represent by following chiefly the principle of flanking fire a very modem concept of fortifications. The structures in the terrain are laid out in lines in which the neighbouring nests shelter each other, establishing a defence usually in two lines, with the front protected by a system of antipersonnel or antitank blocks.
