Hlavní město Praha, Hlavní město Praha, 


The European giant in the world of optics, which developed and produced optics for fortifications for the First Republic's army, had to produce submarine sights for the Kriegsmarine during the occupation, which many employees did not accept and paid with their lives for sabotage. After the war, he continued to manufacture cameras, projectors, binoculars and other optics, but after nationalisation, civilian production was stopped by the socialist regime and moved to Hungary under the RVHP. Orders for the military completely dominated the production capacity of the entire company, which is why these shelters with a capacity of 300 people are located under the landmark district.
