Layout of the Magniot Gross Ouvrage of Soetrich near Metz:



1. EM (2 x GFM cloche, 1 x 47-mm AT)
2. EH (1 GFM cloche, 1 x 47 mm AT)
3. Blocks 5 (75-mm Gun Turret, 1 GFM cloche)
4. Block 4 (135-mm Howtz.Turret, 1 GFM cloche)
5. Block 1 (MG turret, 1 MG cloche, 1 GFM cloche)
6. Block 2 (MG turret, 1 GFM cloche, 1 Obsv cloche)
7. Block 3 (2 GFM cloche, 2 x 81 -mm mortars, 1 x 47 mm AT)
8. Block 6 (75-mm gun turret, 1 GFM cloche, mortar cloche*)
9. Small gallery serving as a drain and cable entrance
10. Magazine M-1
11. Position for armored door which closes by pressure from explosion of magazine to protect caserne - also includes a bypass around armored door.
12. Caserne
13. Kitchen
14. Position for explosives to block gallery
15. Command Post
16. Usine

Essentially, the majority of the Magniot was underground, with the GFM Cloches and armored turrets being the most numerous above ground positions.

Each bunker which projected above ground was essentially "custom designed" to fit the terrain available; making recreating the magniot line problematic without making a lot of generic icons...
