Lot of pictures. Maybe also interesting for you. English text at the end of the german part.

Koppi, fascinating stuff.

The fort looks almost functional despite it’s age.

The ingenuity let alone cost is truly staggering.

It is a pity that the effort involved was directed towards the destruction of others.

Best wishes,

The Maginot line was a magnificent bit of engineering sure to stop invading armies, unless the attackers just went around it. Had that money been spent in R&D and producing tanks and planes 1940 may have been a very different year.
