Title:
Verdun - Fort Douaumont
Description:
This was the 155mm turret which was the main armament of the fort: the capture of the entire gun-crew by Pioneer Sgt Kunze of the 24th Brandenburger Reg. on Feb 25th was farcical. Kunze climbed in through an unguarded embrasure, surprised the gunners and locked them in a room before sitting down and eating a meal he found in a mess-room without bothering to tell anybody else!
