Re: Festung Boulogne new book
Dear Jos,
Thanks,
I forgot to tell that beside the book a website will be online this year with a drawing of the complete Festung in detail.
We are still working on this matter.
The drawing can be updated when it needs to and I hope it will be a blue print for the constructions in the Festung Boulogne for the future.
More info on this will send to this forum when it goes online!
Greetings Ben
