Taken from a plan on Facebook, I have drawn up my plan. One R612 casemate covering the lock gates with a bunker, Tobruk and a poss. 4.7cm Skoda casemate??. A water reservoir then another bunker, Tobruk and a second R612 under construction. A comprehensive trench system connected all the positions.
Since WW2 the river Seine has been diverted and nothing remains.

This picture gives an idea where the Wn was and as far as I can work out it was after 1955 that he River Seine was re directed south to where it is now.
