Notes

The black and white prints of RFE/RL were donated to OSA by the Hoover Institute, California in year 2015. The images are duplicates of those held at Hoover. The originals, and most probably the negatives are with the donor as well. OSA only received the paper prints with captions, and digitized the entire collection in year 2018.

Contents Summary

A sign with German text and drawing of the area. The sign is put up in a field. At the top of the poster the text reads: Warning! The border does not lie at the wire fence. The sign in the drawing reads: Country border. The text at the bottom is partially illegible, roughly reads: Warning! The border does not lie at the wire fence. The border is marked by section stones, main stones and intermediate stones. Crossing the imaginary line between the border stones constitutes the violation of the border. Border violations will entail proceedings by the Czech border guards. Please observe the border line.
