At last my favorite subject the Maginot line, a very under rated piece of fortication and in my opinion the best.....

Most of the bunkers are sealed or in private ownership but I have spent many hours exploring them I just cant get enough also the army are starting to bury the entrances....


Here is one of my favorites and in the hands of people that care, not the army!

ALSACE - LA LIGNE MAGINOT - FORT DE SCHOENENBOURG

Please take a look at my site - Maginot Line at War 1939-1940 - I have some photos of La Ferte. The front page has a nice photo of Block 2's GFM cupola that took a few hits from an 88mm Flak. The "Combat Operations" page had a nice photo of the AM turret. The "Combatants" page has some info and the personnel file of Oberleutnant Germer. Finally, the "Visiting the Maginot Line" page has soem "then and now" format photos.

Regards,
Marc

There seems to be a number of books with that title. As I am getting into WW2 and am trying to do it in a chronological order this sounds promising.
