|
|
 |
The
Fort de Vaux was considered
to be one of the strongest fortresses that protected the area
north east of Verdun during World War I. The fortress saw a lot
of action during World War I and was one point captured by the
Germans after a heroic defence by the French. Later during the
war the fort was again recaptured by the French force. The area
surrounding the fortress still shows that many scars of the
World War I
battles.
