The Feste Kameke, renamed Fort Déroulède by the French in 1919, is a military installation near Metz. It is part of the first fortified belt of forts of Metz and had its baptism of fire in late 1944, in the Battle of Metz.
The first fortified belt of Metz consists of forts Fort Saint-Privat , Fort de Queuleu , Fort Bordes , Fort de Saint-Julien , Fort Gambetta, Fort Déroulède, Fort Decaen, Fort de Plappeville and Group Fortifications Of Saint-Quentin , most of them unfinished in 1870, when the Franco-Prussian War broke out. During the Annexation Metz, oscillated between a German garrison of 15,000 and 20,000 men at the beginning of the period, and will exceed 25,000 men just before the First World War. Gradually Metz becomes the premier stronghold of the German Reich.
