Special operations have attracted the attention of the general public for many decades. This is due not only to the uniqueness and strict secrecy of the units that provide them. More importantly, in these cases, the use of tactical means usually succeeds in achieving strategic objectives. In other words, thanks to the surprise coin and also, of course, the concentration of elite individuals in the right place at the right time, it is possible to achieve results that in standard operations correspond to much larger units and much longer-term efforts.

There was literally a witches' orgy on the Peter's Stones under Praděd. There was eating, drinking, dancing and most of all partying. Dean Lautner crowned Maria Sattler from Šumperk and later Mrs. Meixner from Olomouc as witch queen. In addition, he baptized children in the name of Satan. He brought holy hosts to the St. Peter's Stones, and the participants in the witches' meetings trampled on them and danced. These were the words used by witnesses, mostly during torture, to describe one of the largest witchcraft cases in our territory, which occurred in the second half of the 17th century in Velké Losiny and Šumperk.
Marie Ljalková-Lastovecká was the star of all Czech and Czechoslovak snipers.
A column of the Czech Provincial Reconstruction Team is leaving the Shank base in Logar, Afghanistan. Yesterday they measured 28 degrees in the shade. There are fifteen more people in the sun and ten more in the car. Following one of the main roads, which the Allies called Utah, we head north. The soldiers are tasked with escorting Alena Lišková, who is responsible for water management in the civilian part of the provincial reconstruction team, to the administrative center of the Mohammad Agha district.
