Fort Douaumont had the reputation of being the strongest fort in Europe and virtually impregnable. It was captured on February 25th 1916 by German forces in the Verdun offensive and recaptured on 24 October 1916 by Moroccan French Colonial troops after the Germans withdrew.

  • jetzt kein ton da

  • This fort is haunted by the 20 french huntsmen that died when a shell penetrated the bunker, i have been there it is a very depressing, creepy place

  • But its true, if the Germans had won, the world would be a very different place in which would leave history rewritten and voices of truth silenced.

    If I understand what 36special is saying, we would most likely have a very different view today.

  • 36 specical du bist ein vollidiot

  • Die Deutschen haben alles gegeben, aber umsonst, hätten wir es nur bei 1870/71 gelassen, dann wären wir heute nicht das böse Volk der Welt. Niemand würde über deutsche Soldaten reden, als wären sie Dreck, wir würden stolz, als Nation unsere Reichsflagge hissen.

  • un grand hommage a tous les poilus, pour defendre avec heroisme la ville de verdun...

  • What is the name of the audio?

    Outstanding video...Honor our Veterans!
