Maginot Line Tour/Richard Tucker-Tucker Tours'Amazing Experience
Maginot Line Tours - Tucker Tours的点评
点评:Just returned from France after a three-day tour of the Maginot Line in the Sedan area, a stunning visit to the French ouvrage LaFerte, the Verdun Battlefield, and numerous places associated with the US-French Meuse- Argonne Offensive. As a professor of history...and more importantly passionate WWI and WWII fanatic...this was a "once in a lifetime" experience. Richard Tucker's knowledge of the "breakthrough at Sedan" and everything associated with the locations I've mentioned is exemplary...more accurately stunning. I don't think there's a site in the area associated with the world wars with which Richard isn't I intimately familiar. His knowledge base represents 20 years of devoted research, which never ceased to amaze me. Richard is actively involved in noting the various gun emplacements and fortifications of the Maginot Line in the region, which can be found at wikimaginot.eu, a detailed source of info for anything to do with the various locations of the Maginot Line.
One of the highlights of the tour was our trip to LaFerte in which we were joined by another brilliant chap, Roger Schmidt, who gave me a two-hour tour of the fort's interior down to the most minute of details.
For anyone interested in visiting the Maginot Line, it's hard to imagine a better choice.
翻译:刚从法国回来,结束了为期三天的马奇诺防线之旅,目的地是色当地区。此行令人难忘,参观了法国拉费尔特遗址、凡尔登战场以及众多与美法联合默兹-阿尔贡攻势相关的地点。作为一名历史学教授……更重要的是,作为一名对一战和二战充满热情的狂热爱好者……这真是一次“千载难逢”的经历。理查德·塔克对“色当突破”以及我提到的所有地点的了解堪称典范……更确切地说,是令人叹为观止。我想,在这一地区,几乎所有与世界大战相关的地点,理查德都了如指掌。他渊博的知识源于20年的潜心研究,这始终令我惊叹不已。理查德积极参与记录该地区马奇诺防线的各种炮位和防御工事,相关信息可在wikimaginot.eu网站上找到,该网站是关于马奇诺防线各个地点的详尽信息来源。
这次旅行的一大亮点是参观拉费尔特要塞。我们在那里遇到了另一位才华横溢的导游罗杰·施密特,他带领我花了两个小时仔细参观了要塞内部,甚至细致到每一个角落。
对于任何想要参观马奇诺防线的人来说,这无疑是一个绝佳的选择。
