Fort Lantin was one of the six small forts that defended Li\u00e8ge. It was one of the last to be bombed by the Germans. It finally surrendered on 14 August 1914, after the garrison was utterly exhausted.<\/p>\n\n

When the Fortified Position of Li\u00e8ge was built, it was not imagined that attacks could be launched from inside the belt. However, in August 1914, the Germans managed to get into the city center. They set up their fire batteries there, taking the forts from the rear. As a result, some parts of the fort became unusable. In particular, the toilets located at the back, accessible by crossing a ditch, were dangerously exposed! Because of this danger, the stinking atmosphere that followed contributed to the discouragement of the garrison.<\/p>\n\n

Fort Lantin has not been rearmed or modified. Today, it is still possible to visit it to admire in its original state, a rare unchanged example of 19th-century military architecture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-5944","temoignages","type-temoignages","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nAn unsuspected attack on the forts of Li\u00e8ge - Land Of Memory<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"They had not imagined an attack of the forts of Li\u00e8ge from the city center!
