Pechotní srub K-S 14 "U cihelny" - Kraliky, Czech Republic - There's a Book About It on Waymarking.com

The Czechoslovak government built a system of border fortifications, as well as some fortified defensive lines inland, from 1935 to 1938 as a defensive countermeasure against the rising threat of Nazi Germany. The objective of the fortifications was to prevent the taking of key areas by an enemy (not only Germany but also Hungary) by means of a sudden attack before the mobilization of the Czechoslovak army could be completed, and to enable effective defense until allies (Britain and France and possibly the Soviet Union) could help.

The Museum of Czechoslovakian Fortification is located in Infantry Block K-S-14, a part of light and heavy fortifications at the Czech-Polish border near the town of Králíky.

In one part of the exposition there is a permanent display dedicated to the independence of Czechoslovakia and to the formation of the Czech Armed Forces and Legions. Another part shows the construction of the Czechoslovakian Fortification System after mobilisation in 1938.
A new part of the exhibition displaying the history of the Sentry and Customs Services will be opened in the near future.
