Second World War 1939-1945, military, fortification, interesting place
Location where the Dragons Teet cross the Grölisbach (Grölisstream).
This was the first section of dragons teeth to be taken by US forces in 1944. Eisenhower himself was here where pictures were taken in late 44. A large hole was blown on the road making it impassable. Use forces blew the concrete towards the creek to allow passage.
Note the dragons teeth bridge over the creek. To small for AFV to pass under.
