Fortress Visit Report : Fort Tancrément Internals

This fort is run by a small group. The fort is not as big or as famous as Eben Emael so it does not attract as many visitors or the funds. Nevertheless, it is a fascinating fort to visit and to talk to the guides. It was the last fort in Belgium to surrender to the Germans.
