Fort Eben Emael Inside ( part two of two )

Описание: Fort Eben-Emael is a Belgian fortress located between Liège and Maastricht, on the Belgian-Dutch border, near the Albert Canal, outside the village of Ében-Émael. It was designed to defend Belgium from a German attack across the narrow belt of Dutch territory in the region. Constructed in 1931–1935, it was reputed to be impregnable and at the time, the largest in the world. The fort was neutralized by glider-borne German troops on 10 May 1940 during the Second World War. The action cleared the way for German ground forces to enter Belgium, unhindered by fire from Eben-Emael. This video is part two of two. The first one is looking at the outside of the fort including the casemates/guns, and what happened here on the 10th May 1940. Part two will be looking at the inside of the fort, and how it is run in time of war. Thanks for watching !!
