Light fortification bunkers were started to be built by Czechoslovakia in 1936. In all, some 800 of them were constructed. The light fortification of the 36 type consisted of a firing room manned by two to six soldiers. It was armed with machine guns of the 26 type or submachine guns of the 24 type.
Most of them were situated in the borderland ceded by Czechoslovakia to Germany after the Munich agreement in 1938. The fortifications were never used in combat.
