Maas-line - Casemate 119S

This Dutch S3 casemate was built in 1939 as part of the Maas-line and is heavily damaged by the fighting that took place here on 10 May 1940.

On 10 May 1940, the 254.ID attacked this region to capture the railway bridge at Mook. Katwijk (com. Cuijk) was defended by the 3-II-36 R.I. and 13 casemates of the Maas-line.
