No. 1108, Pechotni srub K-S5 "U Potoka", CZ - Tourist Stamps Photos on Waymarking.com

EN
The infantry blockhouse K-S 5 (code name "U potoka") is part of the extended system of fortifications built to defend the former Czechoslovakia during the second half of the 30s.
The construction of infantry block K-S 5 began in autumn 1936, and the installation was operationally ready in 1938. It represents a mighty and very powerfully equipped block of the I heavy installations, which was given an important role in the defense system in the east of the I town. Its structure consists of 1.756 m3 of concrete and about 125 tons of steel reinforcement, altogether about 4.200 tons of building material. Its combat tasks were: Blocking of the road running from the border and the March (Morava) valley; fire support for infantry block K - S 6 in the west and infantry blocks K - S 4 and K - S 3 in the east. So the infantry block was equipped with the remarkable armament of two anti-tank guns, seven heavy and six light machine guns in embrasures in the walls and three armored cupolas. The crew consisted of 37 elite soldiers of Border Regiment 6. But as a consequence of the Munich Agreement and the following cession of the border areas to Germany the installations were cleared and abandoned at the beginning of October 1938.[ During the first half of the 1950s a scrap company caused serious damage in the structure by blowing out the two huge armored cupolas.
Since 1993 the reconstruction of the block has been carrying out, which is done by volunteers of the association KVH Kralka. Thanks to their efforts the infantry block K-S 5 has become the best = reconstructed installation of the Králíky fortification area. It is one of the few fortifications in the Czech Republic which is mainly equipped with its originial weapons, equipment and interior I furnishings.
