A tunnel railway and gun turrets of the Maginot Line

Soldiers in dark berets sit in the open cars of a small train running through a long vaulted tunnel lit by lamps; above ground, two low, domed armoured turrets with protruding gun barrels rise from bare earth in front of scrub and trees. The galleries and turrets resemble those of the Maginot Line; in 1939–1940 the French command relied on it to stop any German attack across the common border.
