The story

Audio tour · Fort de Vaux

1:59

Je staat bij het Fort van Vaux, een van de forten in de verdedigingsring rond Verdun. Gebouwd tussen 1881 en 1884, en later flink versterkt. Nieuwe, krachtige granaten schoten baksteen namelijk aan gruzelementen. Daarom kreeg dit fort een dak van tweeënhalve meter beton, in dikke lagen kort na elkaar gegoten. Kijk eens naar de bovenkant. Daar zie je nog schade van de gevechten van juni 1916.
