Ouvrage Chatelard is a lesser work (''petit ouvrage'') of the Maginot Line's Alpine extension, the Alpine Line, also known as the Little Maginot Line. Begun in 1938, the ouvrage consists of one infantry block about one kilometer northeast of Bourg St. Maurice, in the village of Le Chatelard. A short gallery with cross galleries extends into the rock, with an emergency exit and ventilation shaft halfway back.The ''ouvrage'' was incomplete in 1940, under the command of Sub-Lieutenant Bochaton.〔 Chatelard, along with Ouvrage Cave-à-Canon and several pre-1914 forts on the heights around Bourg-Saint-Maurice, were placed to block an advance over the Little St Bernard Pass toward Albertville.〔Mary, Tome 5, pp. 9–12〕 ==Description== *Block 1 (combination): one machine gun turret planned and two machine gun embrasures, three heavy twin machine gun embrasures and one 47mm anti-tank gun embrasure.〔 An additional block was planned with a machine gun turret, not completed. The position presently serves as a dog shelter. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ouvrage Chatelard」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
