Field fortifications from the Second World War: Possibilities of archaeological research on post-military landscapes in South Moravia (Czech Republic)

Original language description

Field fortifications from the end of World War 2 which were located in South Moravia are almost forgotten nowadays. This paper presents the first results of archaeological research of their remains. Recently, relics of field fortifications have been registered during rescue excavations on 13 construction sites. In the vicinity of the town of Brno, parts of Wehrmacht trench systems, which defended the whole town, have been excavated and documented on several sites. Several dozen small infantry entrenchments have been recorded near Pasohlávky and Mušov, where serious fights lasted for two weeks. Also, the use of aerial archaeology will be outlined. On five sites, field fortifications have been identified with the help of digital aerial orthophotos (especially historical) and digital elevation model (derived from airborne laser scanning). Results of both excavations and aerial archaeology suggest that archaeology can enhance our knowledge of this kind of relics.
