Here is the list of all ouvrages of the Maginot Line, organized by sector and type of fortification. Ouvrage translates as "works" in English: published documents in both English and French refer to these fortifications in this manner, rather than as "forts". An ouvrage typically consists of a series of concrete-encased strongpoints, linked by underground tunnels.
For a list of the ouvrages of the Alpine Line, or Little Maginot Line, see List of Alpine Line ouvrages.
Famous quotes containing the words list of, list and/or line:“Thirty—the promise of a decade of loneliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning brief-case of enthusiasm, thinning hair.” “My list of things I never pictured myself saying when I pictured myself as a parent has grown over the years.” “Anybody who’s been through a divorce will tell you that at one point ... they’ve thought murder. The line between thinking murder and doing murder isn’t that major.” |
