5: CASE STUDY 2: THE CZECH/AUSTRIAN BORDER
dormitory some kind of score sheet was kept between people from both the
Hájenka and the Šafov stations (Figure 87). It is not clear what the scores
were referring to but it does show that there was interaction between the
different stations. There were also pictures put up by the soldiers in several
of the rooms, especially on the back of the doors. These were typically
clippings from papers of half-naked or naked women but there were also
numbers counting down the days, action heroes holding guns, as well as
stickers from cigarette and filter packages. Some attempts to clean up and
remove some of these clippings have been made but many still remain
(Figure 88–89).

leisure (Army Forum Website Image 8). Dominik who were placed at the
