Ouvrage Chesnois
Ouvrage Chesnois, also known as Ouvrage Chênois, is a ''gros ouvrage'' of the Maginot Line, located in the Fortified Sector of Montmédy, facing Belgium. The ''ouvrage'' lies between the towns of Montlibert and Thonne-le-Thil. It possesses six combat blocks. It is located between ''gros ouvrage'' Thonnelle and ''petit ouvrvage'' La Ferté. The position was sabotaged and abandoned by French forces that were ordered to retreat from the exposed position in June 1940 during the Battle of France. The ''ouvrage'' is now abandoned and sealed.
== Design and construction ==
The site was approved in 1934. Work by the contractor Bringer & Tondu began in 1934 at a cost of 37 million francs. A planned second phase was to add a second artillery block. The rise in tensions between France and Germany in the late 1930s prevented the second phase from being pursued.
Chesnois is one of four positions in the so-called ''Tête de Pont de Montmédy'', a salient in the French defensive lines along the Belgian border. The isolated area was one of the "New Fronts" to the west of the main Maginot Line, created to defend against the increased threat of a German advance through Belgium. The New Front positions suffered from restricted funding, as well as discontinuity in the fortification lines. Large distances between fortifications compared to earlier portions of the Line made mutual support between ''ouvrages'' difficult.〔Mary, Tome 3, p. 165〕
