Radoszyce occurs cca 40 km southeastern from Glogow. The connection with the opposite bank was supplied by a ferry guarded by a few machine-gun posts. Those, that were situated right on the bank of the river, are completely destroyed today. Cca 300m far from the Oder river there iccurs a small bunker for one heavy machine-gun designed for the direct fire. Its main function was to apply fire to the above-mentioned barge. It was saved the destruction, because it was situated in the middle of the village and was covered up as an outhouse.
Then our attention focused on the area eastwards of the town. Itīs defined by its very precipitous terrain. The first several hundreds of metres is the Oder river bound by a high bluff. Some of the works occurs direct on its top. Though all of them are destroyed. Futher up the river the Odra starts to depart from the scarps and the bunkers follow the bed itself to a level ground withs many meres and lagoons. There are situated three interesting works on a relatively small territory. The first one is completely destroyed bilateral pillbox but with an undisturbed armour-plate 7P7. Unfortunately this fact didnīt escape the attention of some "strainers", who try to extricate the plate out of the steel concrete and probably to sell it in the nearest scrap yard. Step by step parts of the ceiling beam are being cut off, which covered the whole plate formerly, and the plate itself has been already "introduced" to autogenous cutting machine.
A few hundreds of metres futher up the river there is situated a preserved shelter for a launching force. Unfortunately it is completely cast with water. At point, where the river sharply turns southwards, a fully preserved pillbox for a heavy machine-gun occurs on bank. The extreme protrusion of the work was apparent already to its constructors, so they embeded the bunker deep in the ground to protect it from the erosion. The accuracy of their doing detects the wholly exposed front wall.The armour-plate 7P7 disposes of a dazzle paint, the interior is fully flooded.
