Maginot Line - Barrage Rapide de Mont Genèvre

This blockhaus was built to block the road. Inside is a barrage that can roll out and close the road. (In 1940 the road was much narrower.) The blockhaus is armed with a 47mm anti-tank gun and two twin machine guns. The gun can be positioned in one or the other embrasure.
