World War Two
Published on 11 Jul 2019We stumbled on some of the propaganda footage shot by the Wehrmacht film teams during the actual attack at the Ouvrage de La Ferté, and we figured that it would do the topic justice to make an improved version of this video.
After the German army breaks through the French lines at Sedan, the left flank of the moving army has to be secured. The French Ouvrage la Ferté, part of the Maginot Line defense works, is subject to this consolidation. But the Germans move with ulterior motives, as to them capturing a Maginot Line fort in the first week of the offensive has a huge propaganda value. Tour guide Richard Tucker shows Indy the grounds of a modern tragedy, where 107 French soldiers gave their lives.

Some of you might be getting flashbacks seeing this episode pop up. We published a version of this video already, but since we did that, we found some great footage depicting the actual fighting at Ouvrage de la Ferté. As we love history, we also love how this footage brings the story and the memorial to life. We wanted to share this experience with you, and decided to upload an improved version with new archive footage. We hope you like it as much as we do!Cheers,
Joram
