The Fortified Sector of Montmédy (Secteur Fortifié de Montmédy) was the French military organisation that in 1940 controlled the section of the Maginot Line between Sedan and Longuyon, a distance of about 60 kilometres (37 mi). The sector was not as strongly defended as other sections of the Maginot Line, facing the southern Ardennes region of Belgium. Large portions of the Montmédy sector were defended by fortified houses, blockhouses or casemates. The sector includes only four ouvrages of the type found in stronger sections of the Line. The weakly defended area in front of Sedan was the scene of a major breakthrough by German forces in the opening of the Battle of France. This was followed by a German assault on the Maginot Ouvrage La Ferté, which killed the entire garrison, the only suc

  • Le secteur fortifié de Montmédy est une partie de la ligne Maginot, situé entre le secteur défensif des Ardennes à l'ouest et le secteur fortifié de la Crusnes à l'est. Il forme une ligne le long de la frontière franco-belge à l'ouest de Montmédy, de Pont-à-Bar (sur la commune de Dom-le-Mesnil, dans les Ardennes) à Vélosnes (dans la Meuse). Les fortifications du secteur sont plutôt légères sur la majorité de la ligne, avec seulement une portion avec quelques ouvrages.( Pour un article plus général, voir Ligne Maginot. ) (fr)
