Fortress Schoenenbourg - 09/19/14 12:28 AM
Finally getting around to putting some photos up from a trip back in June through Europe where we followed a lot of World War history. Will try to post some new every day or so.
This is Fortress Schoenenbourg, part of the maginot line located in the Alsace. Very impressive bit of engineering. It did work and make the Germans go through Belgium. Never did surrender until ordered by politicians. However it was outclassed by modern warfare of WW2. Most of these pics are about 100 feet underground.

Entrance
Very long passages
Trains underground
