Inside MAGINOT LINE

Do you remember THIS post when I spoke to you about the Maginot Line?

 

So this week-end was the event for which we made some pictures in March. It's IMMERHOF building.

 

 I took the oportunity to visit inside the casemates with some friends.

This fort was really well preserved, first thanks to the army and since 1974 thanks to volunteers.

You can find inside some big machines to pump water, produce electricity...

You can see here my 40's look for this WWII memories tour....

You can find also a kitchen...

 

 

A few bedrooms... only 1 bed for 3 soldiers!!!!

 

There was also an hospital...

Immerhof was a small fort during the WWII, "only" about 200 men inside and ... NO woman!

 

You can see on some wall messages from the G.I. who freed the fort the 5th of November 1944, most came from Texas and Louisiana.

 

You can also see some Pin-up that they drew... amazing, isn't it?

 

The turrets of artillery still works really well, they can shot a bombs until 10km!

In some other larger Maginot Line forts, there were even some trains under ground to carry bombs, food, soldiers....

It was also a vintage car meeting around Immerhof.

 

 

It was the first time of the year that our Cadillac went out due to some carburator problems.

 

 

We took our meal in a double deck bus from London...

Its owner made a funy 50's style diner inside.

I was wearing a really nice coton 40's dress just bought some weeks ago from North Star Vintage.

 

 

I didn't went out with my Chevy but I was the driver of our '59 Cadillac! My husband drove his '58 Lincoln.

 

Do you remember? I bought this incredible hat HERE.

 

Our friend Rémi made a promise to my husband some months ago...

to let him drive his Hot-Rod...

Our friends Chris went out for the first time with his new car....

Some of us seemed to be really pleased with the air ride!!!!

It's vintage cars' season now that's why about all week-ends we are out with all our GORMANDIZERS friends!!!

 

Have you ever visited some WWII heritage?

Are you a member of a vintage car club?

 I must think about a nice GIVEAWAY, isn't it?
