AN ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE IRON CURTAIN
second visit to the study area was I told by one of the staff of the
administration office that one of the park rangers who was working in the
park as it was handed over from the military had thought it should be kept
as a reminder and therefore made sure it stayed.
A watchtower on the top of the hill in Čižov was also kept. Along the
fence line in the study area 15 watch towers were located but this is the only
one that still remains today (Figure 62). The watchtowers were prefabricated
and were assembled on site. A series of photos and plans found in
the Military archive in Brno demonstrate how the structures were to be
assembled (Figure 63–64).
