- Ouvrage Kerfent is a lesser work (petit ouvrage) of the Maginot Line. Located in the Fortified Sector of Faulquemont, the ouvrage consists of three infantry blocks and an observation block, and is located between petits ouvrages Mottemberg and Bambesch, facing Germany. During the Battle of France, Kerfent was attacked by German forces, who captured the position from the rear after a short assault with artillery support. The combat blocks were heavily damaged. During the Cold War, limited repairs were made to allow the underground facilities to be occupied. Between 1958 and 1961 the site was used by the Royal Canadian Air Force as a microwave communications relay station. In the 1970s the ouvrage was sold to the commune of Zimming. The ouvrage is now flooded. (en)
- L'ouvrage du Kerfent est un ouvrage fortifié de la ligne Maginot situé dans le secteur fortifié de Faulquemont, en Moselle, non loin de l'ancien casernement de sûreté de Zimming. Son nom a pour origine un bois situé au nord de la route nationale 3. Avec son voisin le Bambesch, ils défendaient ce passage important d'une éventuelle invasion. Il s'agissait là « du cœur de la ligne Maginot » selon le maréchal Pétain. Pourtant, malgré les quinze blocs prévus sur les plans initiaux, cet ouvrage sera sérieusement amoindri par les restrictions budgétaires : seront supprimés lors de la construction les blocs d'artillerie, l'entrée séparée, les coffres de défense d'un hypothétique fossé antichars… pour aboutir (en conclusion) à l'édification d'un simple petit ouvrage d'infanterie. Le gros œuvre (coulage du béton) a été terminé en 1932. (fr)
