The Fortified Sector of Altkirch (Secteur Fortifiée d'Altkirch) was the French military organization that in 1940 controlled the section of the French frontier with Germany and Switzerland in the vicinity of Basel. The sector's principal defense against an advance from Germany was the Rhine itself, which could be crossed only by boat or by seizing a bridge crossing. The frontier with Switzerland was not regarded as a high-risk location, save for a possible advance by German forces through Switzerland. Originally planned as a full extension of the Maginot Line with artillery ouvrages, the sector's fortifications were scaled back and chiefly took the form of casemates and blockhouses. The SF Altkirch adjoined the Fortified Sector of Mulhouse to the north and the Fortified Sector of Montbélia

  • Le secteur défensif d'Altkirch, puis secteur fortifié d'Altkirch, est une partie de la ligne Maginot, situé entre le secteur fortifié de Mulhouse au nord et le secteur défensif de Montbéliard au sud-ouest. Il forme une ligne allant du Rhin à la frontière franco-suisse dans le massif du Jura, en couvrant la ville d'Altkirch et en évitant celle de Bâle, de Sierentz à Oberlarg (dans le Haut-Rhin). Les fortifications de ce secteur sont composées essentiellement de casemates d'infanterie.( Pour un article plus général, voir Ligne Maginot. ) (fr)
