Ouvrage Latiremont, Military fortification in Meurthe-et-Moselle, France

The fortification extends across 50 hectares with eight concrete blocks connected by 1200 meters of underground galleries at 30 meters depth.

Construction of this Maginot Line fortress started in 1931 and ended in 1935, with total costs reaching 88 million francs under contractor Monod.

The fortress represents French military engineering skills through its intricate network of barracks, kitchens, medical facilities, and ammunition storage spaces.

The fortress contains four diesel generators for power supply, ventilation systems, and multiple artillery positions with 75mm guns and machine gun turrets.

The garrison fired over 14,000 rounds during World War II operations between September 1939 and June 1940 before surrendering to German forces.
