About
As the keystone of Verdun’s defensive system, Fort Douaumont was the scene of fierce fighting and dramatic events during the Battle of Verdun, 1916. After falling into German hands in the early days of the Battle, it was constantly shelled by the French army that recaptured the fort on October 24th of the same year.
