Lost Battlefields w Tino Struckmann | The PRUSSIAN STOP FORT - STILL BATTLE READY @tinostruckmann | Uploaded 1 day ago | Updated 12 hours ago
One of the amazing Prussian forts constructed around the turn of the Century, Fort de Guentrange, the fort next to Fort Koenigsmacher, guarding Thionville. Patton arrived here and prepared to do battle here as he was at Koeningmacher, and remember how hard it was to take Fort Wagner to the South.
However this fort was one of the newest and best they had, even newer than Wagner.with all the most modern fortress technology of the time. However Patton got a break here, at least from the German Army they left the fort knowing they were about to be surrounded. So the Americans were handed over the entire fortress intact.
And that left us 75 years later with an amazing group of re-enactors who kept her alive and running. And now I can show you how the Prussians and Germans would have lived and fought here, from the kitchen to the battle stations, and there are a few things here Roger and I had never before seen, so I am wagering neither have you. Lets go.
Please like and follow it really helps me continue bringing these around the world to you.
