  It is demonstrated that in the type I and II superconductors with
low-transparent twinning planes (TP) the penetration of external parallel
magnetic field into the region of the twinning plane can be energetically
favorable. In the type I superconductors the twinning planes become similar to
Josephson junctions and the magnetic field penetrates into the center of the TP
in the form of soft Josephson-like vortices. This leads to increase in the
critical magnetic field values. The corresponding phase diagram in the
parameter plane "temperature - magnetic field" essentially differs from the one
obtained without taking the finite value of the magnetic field near the TP into
account. Comparison between obtained phase diagrams and experimental data for
different type I superconductors can allow to estimate the value of the TP
transparency, which is the only fitting parameter in our theory.
