Dear readers,
The second issue of this year’s Detektor Revue has long since arrived in your letterboxes, yet, as is traditional, I cannot resist offering a little taster for non-subscribers. We kicked off Issue 2 with a lively report on the ‘Devils in the Mountains’ treasure-hunting expedition, followed by Acci’s remarkable piece on a unique discovery that will set the hearts of not only South Moravian historians but every curious person racing. Our colleague K098 will surprise you once again with the discovery of a ‘depot’, the sort you don’t come across every day. Following on from Lišák’s restoration corner, our enigmatic colleague Fanatik11 will show you how to restore a First World War trench ring to a decent condition. You’ll be transported back to the treasures of the Balkans once again thanks to Josef Procházka’s captivating series, followed by the second instalment of Jan Kux’s search for the graves of our legionnaires in Russia. On the following pages, you can read an account by the same author about the raid on the village of Jestřabice by Banderites and about the author’s encounter with one such Banderite who took part in the raid and who, in theory, could have fired at the author’s father.
Jan Škarka, a researcher specialising in military historical technology, will this time introduce you to the history of the 3.7 cm anti-tank gun, and as usual, he does so with great rigour, in an engaging and thorough manner. Following the ‘Advice Corner’ section, you’ll find a photo report from this year’s Sudety 2011 treasure hunters’ gathering, a short story by Václav Moravec, and the next instalment in the series on faleristics by Roman Štér and Miloš Hlobila.Ronam Štér will also introduce you to an interesting exhibition on the Volhynian Czechs.
