Event in Memory of Corporal Rabu
The Immerhof Fort takes you into the heart of History. 86 years ago to the day, the site experienced its most tragic night. On June 14, 1940, during a violent bombardment, young Corporal André Rabu, a 20-year-old teacher, died "for France" on the surface of the fortification. To honor his memory and that of his comrades, you are invited to an exceptional day of commemoration.
ON THE PROGRAM:
SPECIAL EVENT: Inauguration and reopening for visits of the newly renovated and fully equipped entrance firing chamber. It was here that the historic phone call announcing the tragedy in 1940 was received.
RE-ENACTMENT: The site will come alive with enthusiasts and collectors in period uniforms from various associations from the Longwy, Boust, and Cattenom area.
Come with your family to pass on the duty of remembrance and discover this restored piece of our military heritage!
