Fort Eben-Emael: The Impregnable Fortress That Fell to German Paratroopers in World War II
#wwii #wwiihistory #belgium
Dive into the remarkable history of Fort Eben-Emael, a formidable fortress designed to defend Belgium against potential German attacks. Constructed between 1931 and 1935, it was once considered the largest and most impregnable fort in the world. However, on May 10, 1940, a daring German operation involving glider-borne troops changed the course of history. Learn how 78 paratroopers from the German 7th Flieger Division successfully neutralized this mighty fortress, paving the way for German ground forces to enter Belgium during World War II. Explore the tactics, preparation, and the pivotal role of Fort Eben-Emael in this intriguing video. #FortEbenEmael #WWIIHistory #BelgianFortress #MilitaryHistory

About us:
@DestinationEverywhere was created to chronicle our family's memories of traveling while living in Stuttgart, Germany for four and a half years (2016 - 2020). Swabia was a near perfect location to reach most of Europe, so we used every opportunity to travel to locations such as France, Italy, United Kingdom, Ireland, Scotland, England, Belgium, Hungary, Poland, Czech, Croatia and much more.
We returned to the USA for just under 2 years (2021-2022) and did a little traveling. In late 2022 we were offered another opportunity to live in Europe-- this time in Brussels, Belgium.
Now we're taking everything we learned and applying it for Destination:Everywhere 2.0. We travel by car 🚗, plane, ✈️, train 🚆 to see as much of Europe as possible. From historic sites to beautiful cities and from country mountains to gorgeous beaches, we pack it all in -- and rather inexpensively. We're big fans of AirBnB and Booking.com for our lodging; TrainlineEU, EasyJet and Ryan Air for traveling and we do a lot of driving. We appreciate our friends and fans for watching our videos!
