Inside The Maginot Line video will show a quick tour what is inside there.
The Maginot Line named after the French Minister of War André Maginot, is a line of concrete fortifications, obstacles and weapon installations built by France.

The Maginot Line, an array of defenses that France built along its border with Germany in the 1930s, was designed to prevent an invasion
280-mile-long line included dozens of fortresses, underground bunkers, minefields, and gun batteries.

Built between 1930 and 1940, it was one of the world's most impressive forts, yet it proved to be almost useless.
However, the Maginot Line had two major failings – it was obviously not mobile and it assumed that the Ardennes was impenetrable.

In reality there were multiple reasons for the sudden French collapse, including the surprise German attack through the Ardennes.
However, the French line was weak near the Ardennes Forest.
The Maginot Line was impervious to most forms of attack.

In consequence, the Germans invaded through the Low Countries in 1940, passing it to the north.

The Maginot Line was a very impressive network of fortifications and defensive structures.
The fort has been open to the public since 1978.

The barracks and kitchens, the command post, gun positions and other former locations can be visited.
The museum presents documents on the history of the Maginot Line and on military life in a fort.

Will see you when i see you,
Cheers
