Ouvrage Laudrefang, Military fortification in Moselle, France
The Ouvrage Laudrefang contains five combat blocks connected by underground galleries, with installations spread across different levels at 30 meters depth.
Built in 1931 as part of the Maginot Line defense system, the fortification withstood intense German artillery fire of over 3000 shells in June 1940.
The structure represents French military engineering of the 1930s, demonstrating the national focus on territorial defense through permanent fortifications.
The fortification includes specialized areas for troops, with barracks, ammunition storage, power plant, kitchen facilities, and medical stations throughout the complex.
Block 3 stands independently from the other blocks and contains twin machine guns with mortar embrasures, making it a critical defensive position.
