Ouvrage Coume Annexe Sud, Military fortification in Niedervisse, France
The Ouvrage Coume Annexe Sud consists of four armored blocks containing infantry positions, artillery casemates, and observation posts on the Moselle hilltop.
Built between 1931 and 1940 as part of the Maginot Line defense system, this fortification remained untouched during the German advance in June 1940.
The fortification exemplifies French military engineering of the 1930s with its network of underground galleries, ammunition storage, and advanced ventilation systems.
The structure contains two Renault diesel generators for power supply, water circulation systems for cooling, and multiple armored observation posts for surveillance.
The garrison of 200 soldiers from the 160th Infantry Regiment maintained complete original equipment until the armistice, including specialized weapon emplacements.
