To the men's entrance
The gallery to the men's entrance
The gallery behind this
armoured sliding door leads to the elevator shaft in Block 8,
connecting the latter with Block 7. The two entrances are about
150 m away from one another. The crew used to come in by the gate
on top, then walk down the stairs, along the gallery to arrive at
this diversion point, wherefrom they walked to their respective quarters.
The Germans occupied the Fort after the
1940 Armistice, but in 1945, when in retreat, they blew up the
former Men’s Entrance, which was then rebuilt in 1951 after
an up-to-date design.
