THE COMMANDO POST (PC)

The commando post is the most important location of the fort and is dived in three parts:

  • - commando of the fort
    - commando of the infantry in the fort
    - commando of the artillery of the fort

The most interesting part is the commando post for the artillery who commanded the artillery fire of the fort and canons stationed behind the line. This  commando post has its own telephone central with connections to all observation posts in the surrounding. Here they took the discussion which canon would fire on a target. This fire order was than given to the commando post of a block.

With help of maps the officers calculated the exact position of the target. The first shot came within 3 minutes.
