    ID Location of Photos in France 1940

    Hi guys.
    I got this nice lot of negatives and one of them shows a road sign with the name chalons sur marne.
    I was wondering if any other members are from this part of France and could maybe ID some of the locations in the pictures please.
    Many thanks in advance.

                    Photo 5 is a Stalin Line blockhouse somewhere in Russia. I doubt photos 2 and 3 are France. Those types of antitank obstacles were used in Czechoslovakia and later along the Westwall. Perhaps those two photos were taken in the winter of 39-40 along Germany's western border.
                    Cheers, Marc

                        Châlons sur Marne

                        Hello,

                        Just want to let you know that Châlons sur Marne doesn't exist anymore, the city changed its name a couple of years ago and is now : Châlons en Champagne. It's located 50 km south-east of Reims (Champagne area).

                        Sincerely.

                        Phil
