I thought the cite was very well organized and extremely informative, not to mention well written and exciting. I feel much more knowledgeable after reading this information. Although, at times, it was a little confusing, but, that is due to my relatively small vocabulary when it comes to military engineering.

VERY COMPLETE WORK, WELL DONE !!!
Abouth Brialmont :
Brialmont did very good work in Antwerp with his polygonal forts and contributed for a part in the concrete fortresses of the first ring. His forts in Antwerp are recognised has one of the reasons that Belgium stayed out of the 1870 conflict.
Abouth the second WW :
your conclusions are wrong :
Ok Eben-Emael fell very quick (by surprise),
Aubin-Neufchateau : only after all weapons were destroyed and no more fighting could be done on the 21th (11days of resistance)
Battice : the 22th
Tancemont : the 29th ONE DAY after the surrender of the whole belgian army.
And Barchon : the first fortress to fall in WW one, distinguested itself by resisting till the 21th and killing a lot of Germans and suporting his big brothers of Battice and Aubin-Neufchateau.
The biggest problem with the Belgian forts of WW I was that the where constructed in a time that the artillery evoluated very quick and that a little country does not have so much resources as his mighty neighbours. So making a ring of forts in Liege and
Antwerp was not easy. To upgrade them every 10 year was impossibly.
For the French : in Douaimont is already armored concrete used and another mixture of concrete was used (which proved more resistant than the Belgian mixture (for ex. more cement, less water).

Je suis désolé de remettre en question votre conclusion. Des historiens ont prouvé que les destructions apparentes sur les forts ont été effectuées à l'explosif APRES la bataille. la meilleure preuve en est la résistance des forts de verdun, pourtant plus
anciens(1890) que ceux de Liège. Les "légendaires" 420 ont été réutilisés en 40 contre la ligne Maginot (fort du Shoenenbourg) sans leur faire subir aucun dégat. Il ne semble pas que ces destructions ait été effectuées à l'origine dans le but de faire cro
re à la puissance de l'artillerie allemande mais les premiers journalistes à prendre des photos des destructions n'avait pas été avertis et ont donc pensé que c'était l'artillerie qui les avaient causées. Et les artilleurs allemands ont fini par y croire
ux-même.
