Westwall - Remains Bunker Ormont

On February 27, 1945, the 87th US Infantry Division was prepared with the preparation to break the Westwall at Ormont. They were stationed on a 7 km front between Scheid and Kobscheid.
The Westwall here had 2 lines of defense in which the first consisted of dragon teeth barriers with barbed wire at the foot of the hills and in the forests on the hills there were bunkers who could give interlinked fire. In addition, there were also mine fields and at the intersections and the roads there were roadblocks.
Compagnie l of the 346th Infantry Regiment was on the left side of the road, where most of the bunkers were, where they eliminated some bunkers and others passed by and were for the troops that came after them.
In total there were more than 20 bunkers in this part of the forest that are part of the Westwall.
At this location is 1 of the bunkers of the Westwall that was on the Compagnie L attack axis of the 374th Infantry Regiment.
