Ouvrage Thonnelle
Ouvrage Thonnelle is a ''petit ouvrage'' of the Maginot Line, located in the Fortified Sector of Montmédy between the towns of Thonnelle and Verneuil-Petit, facing Belgium. It possesses four combat blocks. It is located between ''gros ouvrages'' Vélosnes and Chesnois. 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 abandoned.
== Design and construction ==
The site was approved in 1934. Work by the contractor GTBA began in 1935 at a cost of 23.7 million francs. A planned second phase was to add one artillery block and support facilities, while a third phase was to add three artillery blocks, making Thonnelle a ''gros ouvrage''. The rise in tensions between France and Germany in the late 1930s prevented the second and third phases from being pursued.
Thonnelle is one of four positions in the so-called ''Tête du 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〕
