Hi bohr-r 
that was a wonderful story , I wish I have seen that on my own eyes , people also
used to have much better attitude bettween each other than these modern days .
I always believed I would be more useful back in those times , than now
I grew up in Czechoslovakia and was born in 1969 , there used to be a lot of metal
scrap yards around all over the place with huge pile ups of various metal stuff and
too often there were many German helmets with emblems on it in mint condition ,
with bullets holes in it or without , many incomplete German pistols and a lot of other
various stuff that was still around even thou that many years after war was over as
some people got rid of it at latter time as they didn't seen any value in it back then .
We just love it going through pile ups of metal scrap yards looking for any WWII items .
I don't even know where that all stuff we found end up but these modern days to find
anything is indeed almost impossible .
There is pretty big chance someone else was already looking there before :lol:
Bunkers in Czechoslovakia did left in me wonderful memories , it was so creepy going
underground through those dark huge concrete bunkers , I always couldn't imagine there
were actually German soldiers before me and was trying to piece things together
what likely happened there by looking on the destruction from shells hit on some of
those bunkers
hock:
I believe there is a little Indiana Jones in each of us trying to find something not found before
Unbelievably some bunkers were not long time ago for sale and no matter how hard I try ,
I can't find any contact on any of the seller of some of these bunkers that might be still for sale
Would like to try to negotiate something to save at least one bunker from being lost forever .
So far living in the U.S. now for almost 15 years but have plans to go back to visit those
bunkers once again and want to do something about it .
I remember watching news just few years ago when some people got back their land
that once used to be theirs and guess what , those bunkers were in many locations right
on their land so they were selling their land with WWII bunkers
I want one of those !! :lol:
Thankfully , I did served in Czechoslovakian military in 1988 to 1990 and had pleasure to
go also through live grenade training exercises and have the utmost respect for these things
and will be always careful better not touch it especially old ammunition .
Holy moly I need to stop typing :lol:
