Guerre 14 - 18 : Verdun - Fort de Vaux 100 ans après
Le fort de Vaux, situé à Vaux-devant-Damloup, près de Verdun, dans la Meuse (France), est construit de 1881 à 1884 dans le cadre du système Séré de Rivières et renforcé en 1888. Il est l'un des hauts lieux de la bataille de Verdun en 1916.
Le fort est désarmé en 1915 par un décret qui dégarnit aussi le fort de Douaumont : c'est donc un ouvrage sans armement lourd dont la tourelle de 75 mm a explosé dès février 1916 à la suite du canonnage des obusiers allemands. Le 6 mars 1916, les Allemands attaquent ; le village tombe le 2 avril mais le fort tient. Du 2 au 7 juin 1916, grâce à l'héroïsme du commandant Raynal et de sa garnison, le fort résiste à la 50e division allemande mais après de très durs combats les défenseurs doivent finalement se rendre. Les Allemands échouent cependant à prendre Verdun et à l'automne ils abandonnent le fort de Vaux qui est réoccupé sans combat par les troupes françaises dans la nuit de 2 au 3 novembre 1916.
Le fort de Vaux devient alors l'un des symboles des combats des poilus de la Première Guerre mondiale animés par le sens du devoir jusqu'à l'ultime sacrifice.

Fort Vaux - Verdun
During my short vacation in Verdun i also visited the famous Fort Vaux in the north-east of the city. The whole area is still rippled due to the extreme artillery bombardment. It is not easy to walk there.
I really like the fact that visitors are allowed to walk around basically everywhere on the roof of the fort with all the artillery craters and turrets. The museum inside the fort is very interesting and i recommend to take a look at it aswell.
Fort Vaux, located in Vaux-Devant-Damloup, Meuse, France, was built in 1881–1884 at a cost of 1,500,000 Francs, built to house 150 men. it became the second Fort to fall in the Battle of Verdun. The first fort to fall had been Fort Douaumont which was virtually undefended and had been captured by a small German raiding party in February 1916. Fort de Vaux, on the other hand, was fully garrisoned when it was attacked on June 2 by German assault troops. The fort had been modernized before 1914 with additional reinforced concrete top protection, like at Fort Douaumont and thus did resist a German heavy artillery preparation which had included shelling by 16 inch howitzers. The superstructure of the fort had been heavily damaged but the deep interior corridors and stations remained intact and can still be seen in their original condition today. One of the fort's side bunkers (Casemate de Bourges) is still equipped with its 75mm cannon.
The defense of Fort Vaux was marked by the heroism and endurance of the garrison, including Major Sylvain-Eugene Raynal. Under his command, the besieged French garrison fended off repeated German assaults, including fighting underground from barricades inside the invaded corridors of the fort, which was the first major engagement to happen completely inside a fort during World War I. What was left of the French garrison finally gave up after it had run out of drinkable water (some of which was poisoned), ammunition, medical supplies and food. Raynal sent several messages to his commanding officers via homing pigeons (including the famous Vaillant), requesting relief for his soldiers. During his last communications, Major Raynal penned the phrase This is my last pigeon.
After the capture of Fort Vaux on June 7, the Crown Prince of the German ruling family, the Hohenzollerns, presented Major Raynal with a French officer's sword as a sign of respect. Raynal and his soldiers remained in captivity in Germany until the Armistice of November 11, 1918. The fort was recaptured by French infantry on November 2, 1916 after an intense artillery preparation involving two long range 400-millimetre (16 in) railway guns. After its recapture, Fort Vaux was thoroughly repaired and fully reactivated. However some original damage from the fight on June 2 can still be seen today. Several underground galleries to reach the far outside, one of them being a mile long, were dug and equipped. The water reserves were quadrupled. Light was provided now by two electric generators.
The underground installations of Fort Vaux are in a remarkably good state of preservation. They are currently open to the public for guided visits.

Forgotten History: The Underground Hell of Fort Vaux
Cool Forgotten Weapons merch!
With the surprise capture of Fort Douaumont in February 1916, the French reinforced all the remaining forts around the city of Verdun, and would hold them all successfully for many months. In fact, the only other fort in the area to fall would be Fort Vaux, in June of 1916.
In the chaos of the early battle, orders had actually gone out to evacuate Vaux and destroy it, but these were countermanded, and the fort remained a major lynchpin of French defenses in the sector. Critically, before they could be removed, demolition charges set in the fort's main gun turret were detonated by a massive German shell, destroying the weapon.
In May, German advances seriously threatened the fort, and a new commander was assigned - Major Sylvain Eugene Raynal. Upon arrival, he found the fort in a terrible condition - heavily damaged by German bombardments and hugely overcrowded with as many as 500 soldiers, most of them wounded and sheltering in the fort (it had been designed to garrison 150 men). Shelling had broken through the fort's walls in several places, and unbeknownst to Raynal or his men, the water cistern had been damaged and was nearly empty despite its gauge reading substantial levels of water.
The climactic German assault began on June 1st 1916, and by the end of the day only 71 French soldiers remained in unwounded inside. On June 2nd, the cistern damage was discovered - at that point it held just 8 gallons of putrid dregs. Intense fighting would continue for nearly another week, without any relief forces or supplies able to reach the fort. On the 5th, a bit of water was collected from rain, but not much. A relief force attempted to reinforce the fort, but was virtually obliterated, with only 37 men reaching its walls.
The Germans would storm the fort on June 5th, and the most horrific of combat would rage for two days inside its tunnels and galleries. Raynal ordered barricades erected inside the fort, and the French forces fought from one to the next, with only a few dozen men remaining. The battle would include machine gun and hand grenades in these tight passageways, and eventually a German attempt to burn out the defenders with flamethrowers.
Finally on the morning of June 7th, the combination of casualties and a complete lack of water meant the end of the resistance. Raynal and his surviving men surrendered, and Germans soldiers finally occupied the fort they had spent months attempting to conquer. In recognition of his valiant defense, Raynal's sword was returned to him by German Crown Prince Wilhelm.
The German occupation of the fort would last only a few months - by late October it was abandoned quietly, and a French scouting force would find it empty and retake it on November 2nd, 1916.

Fort Douaumont, nr Verdun, France.
A look at Fort Douaumont, near Verdun, France.
Fort Douaumont was part of a ring of 19 large defensive forts protecting the city of Verdun, France since the 1890s. It was easily captured by the Germans in 1916 because the French believed it could not resist bombardments from the German. The French recaptured it but with tremendous losses at the closure to the Battle of Verdun in 1916.

This region was the setting for the largest and longest battle of WW1 between the French and German armies in 1916. Now an idyllic, peacful place to wander through woodlands, it's hard to imagine what it would've been like to be there a century ago...

Verdun - Fort Vaux 2018
Fort Vaux und Umgebung waren seit März 1916 pro Tag mit etwa 800 Granaten größeren Kalibers beschossen worden. Einen Durchbruch konnten beide Seiten nicht erzielen, bis schließlich der französische Wasservorrat zur Neige ging. Durch den Durst zur Aufgabe gezwungen, kapitulierten die Truppen unter Commandant Sylvain Eugène Raynal am 7. Juni 1916 vor Teilen der deutschen Infanterieregimenter 53 und 58. Major Raynal und seine Soldaten genossen die Hochachtung der deutschen Soldaten; Commandant Raynal durfte sogar seinen Degen behalten.
Es war die französische 74. Infanteriedivision, die Fort Vaux zurückeroberte. Die deutschen Truppen räumten es am 2. November kampflos nach einem tagelangen, wahren Granathagel.

Great War #8. Fort Vaux. Verdun.
Fort Vaux was built from 1881–1884.
The fort had been modernised before 1914
with additional reinforced concrete top protection
like Fort Douaumont.
Fort Vaux became the second Fort
to fall in the Battle of Verdun after Fort Douaumont
which was virtually undefended and had been captured
by a small German raiding party in February 1916.
On 9 August 1915, the French General
Staff decided to evacuate the forts around Verdun.
and the guns were removed from the Fort,to deploy them elsewhere.
The French even preparing to blow up the fort,
blasting holes were drilled in the walls and domes,
and explosives were stored in the fort.
Over 800kg explosives, were stored under the the 75mm tower
which exploded later during a bombardment on February 21, 1916
this destroyed, various walkways and the 75mm tower.
On March 1916,Major Raynal, the commander of the Fort Vaux,
was ordered to occupy the fort again and defend it,
and the damage done by their own hands was repaired.
But some of the damage could not be repaired and
the Bourges casemates could not be fitted with the
75 mm field guns so these guns were replaced by machine guns.
Fort de Vaux, was garrisoned when it was attacked
on June 2 until june 5 by German assault troops.
After intense shelling,with shells from Lange Max and Big Bertha
the superstructure of the fort was badly damaged
but the deep interior corridors and
stations remained intact, but the fort was cut off
from the outside world.
The Germans attacked with flamethrowers and it came to
hand to hand combat.
on June 7 the fort was in German hand and
the Germans started to repair the fort as good
as possible. Both Bourges casemates were reinforced
with sandbags and machine guns were placed back in.
Also mortars were placed in the fort.
After the fall of the fort the French started with artillery fire,
but the fort held out. The firts attack from the French
would follow on October 24,
but this would fail with heavy losses.
Only after a French counterattack with 400 mm railway gun
that was brought close the fort, and On 2 November
the German staff just decided to leave the fort and blow up.
The fort was regularly shelled by German artillery, until March 1917.
The french started repairing the fort until the 1930s.
June 15, 1940, fort Vaux was handed over to the German troops,
without any fighting.
Today the fort can be visited, and there is a
small museum inside the fort.
But only a small part of it is accessible, this because of the
amount of damage the fort took in the battle and some parts
collapsed in the 80's

Première Guerre Mondiale (3/4) : 1916, L'enfer de Verdun - Documentaire francais
En 1916, 72 pays répartis sur les cinq continents sont, à des degrés divers, directement impliqués dans le premier conflit de l'ère moderne. Verdun la Somme, le fleuve Isonzo, le Jutland, la Galicie, la Bucovine et beaucoup d'autres lieux vont sortir de l'anonymat géographique pour devenir historiques par les combats sanglants et indécis qui s'y sont déroulés.
En 1916, des dates sont également à marquer d'une pierre blanche :
15 septembre : les premiers chars entrent dans la bataille. Ils sont britanniques. On les surnomme tanks.
17 septembre : Von Richthofen le Baron Rouge emporte la première de ses quatre-vingt victoires contre l'aviation alliée.

A Day Trip To The Verdun Battlefield | Euro Trip 2018 Pt8
We take a day trip to the site of the Battle of Verdun, to The Ossuary memorial, the destroyed village of Douaumont, and to Fort Douaumont,
From Wikipedia:
During the 300 days of the Battle of Verdun (21 February 1916 – 19 December 1916) approximately 230,000 men died out of a total of 700,000 casualties (dead, wounded and missing). The battle became known in German as Die Hölle von Verdun (English: The Hell of Verdun), or in French as L'Enfer de Verdun, and was conducted on a battlefield covering less than 20 square kilometers
The ossuary is a memorial containing the remains of both French and German soldiers who died on the Verdun battlefield. Through small outside windows, the skeletal remains of at least 130,000 unidentified combatants of both nations can be seen filling up alcoves at the lower edge of the building.
Douaumont is a commune in the Meuse department in Grand Est in north-eastern France. The village was destroyed during World War I.
Fort Douaumont (French Fort de Douaumont) was the largest and highest fort on the ring of 19 large defensive works which had protected the city of Verdun, France since the 1890s. By 1915, the French General Staff had concluded that even the best-protected forts of Verdun could not resist bombardments from the German 420 mm (16.5 in) Gamma guns. These new super-heavy howitzers had easily taken several large Belgian forts out of action in August 1914. Fort Douaumont and other Verdun forts were judged ineffective and had been partly disarmed and left virtually undefended since 1915. On 25 February 1916, Fort Douaumont was entered and occupied without a fight by a small German raiding party comprising only 19 officers and 79 men. The easy fall of Fort Douaumont, only three days after the beginning of the Battle of Verdun, shocked the French Army. It set the stage for the rest of a battle which lasted nine months, at enormous human cost. Douaumont was finally recaptured by three infantry divisions of the Second Army, during the First Offensive Battle of Verdun on 24 October 1916. This event brought closure to the battle in 1916.
