Six surface strongpoints were planned, a main gallery 1,350 meters long, a garrison of 484 men. By the autumn of 1938 only two blockhouses stood concreted. The fortress was never finished, and its underground lies cold and flooded to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/the-skutina-fortress\"\u003eRead More about the History of this March\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rucking Tough","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68203758354659,"sku":null,"price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0762\/0119\/7795\/files\/skutina-patch-display.jpg?v=1793914189","url":"https:\/\/ruckingtough.com\/products\/skutina-2027","provider":"Rucking Tough","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
