A fort that remained undefeated during the fighting of 1940
Le Fort de Fermont occupe une place importante dans l’histoire de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Malgré les attaques allemandes de juin 1940, l’ouvrage résiste jusqu’à l’armistice et demeure considéré comme invaincu.
Even today, several bomb impacts are visible on the fort's combat blocks, a reminder of the intensity of the clashes at the time.
This historical authenticity strongly contributes to the immersion offered by the Maginot Line Museum.
